Your role will also involve assisting with the organisation and delivery of events, helping to grow our fundraising programmes, and developing lasting relationships with our supporters.

You'll need to be flexible, enthusiastic, and confident when working with the public, as you'll sometimes represent Rosemere at community events. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable experience in a supportive and fast-paced charity environment, where your contribution will truly make a difference.

A car and driving license are essential for this post as the post holder will be required to drop of fundraising resources, meet with donors and fundraisers, support Rosemere fundraising events and attend third party fundraising activities and functions across Lancashire and South Cumbria
