The Barwon Health Foundation is the independent charitable arm of Barwon Health, created to connect the generosity of our community with the life-saving and life-changing work of our region's health service. Together with donors, partners and supporters, the Foundation invests in excellence in medical services, facilities, education and research to enhance the health and wellbeing of people across Geelong and the Barwon South West region.
With a major capital campaign soon to be launched, the Foundation is entering an exciting new era. Following a recent structural review, a new senior leadership team will be introduced in **** to drive fundraising growth, elevate the donor experience and expand the Foundation's impact for patients, families and clinicians for generations to come. To support this momentum, we are seeking an exceptional Head of Fundraising.
We are looking for applicants who are either currently based in Geelong or willing to relocate to Geelong. Being part of the community – understanding its people, culture and networks – is essential to thriving in this role.
Think big-ticket events, galas and fun runs; corporate and community fundraising days; strong corporate partnerships, peer-to-peer giving, workplace giving, social enterprise and an uplifted focus on volunteer engagement and donor recognition.
