Charity Supporter Engagement Assistant

Job summary

Join RUHX - Be part of something extra extraordinary

At RUHX, we're more than the Official NHS charity of the Royal United Hospitals Bath. We go further to give every patient the extra extraordinary care they deserve, while supporting our staff to do what they do best and furthering innovation within our hospitals. We're out there in our community, collaborating with the people and organisations who drive real change. And we're making sure that every penny we raise goes towards improving health, happiness and wellbeing for everyone in our community.

We're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Charity Supporter Engagement Assistant to help provide extra-extraordinary customer care for our donors and fundraisers. If you're passionate about making a difference and want to start a career in charity fundraising, this could be the perfect role for you. This is your chance to be part of a charity that believes in being positively disruptive, creative and collaborative, all to make a transformative difference for our patients, staff and community.

We're big enough to make an impact and small enough to care. This means that we believe in creating an inclusive, supportive, and nurturing environment for all our staff, as we know that a diverse, happy, and healthy team is vital to our success.

Main duties of the job

No two days in our team are the same. You'll be based full-time in our office, onsite at the hospital in Bath and will be the first point of contact for many of our supporters, responding to enquiries, processing donations, and making sure everyone who contributes to RUHX feels valued and appreciated.

This is a detail-oriented and people-facing role, ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, delivering exceptional customer service, and collaborating as part of a dynamic fundraising team. Whether you're promptly sending thank you letters, answering phone calls, replying to emails, updating supporter records, or helping someone take on their first fundraising challenge, you'll be making a genuine difference every day.

Working as part of the Operations team while supporting all the RUHX team, this role is fast-paced and requires someone who is energetic, organised, and a team player, adaptable to the variety of queries that come your way.

We're looking for a kind and compassionate person who is passionate about the NHS and making a difference to healthcare for our community. This is a great role for someone looking to start their career in fundraising. Full training will be provided, and you'll be supported to develop your skills and knowledge.
