They are a leading UK bereavement charity, providing free, professional services and support to more than 3,000 bereaved children, young people and their families a year. They predominantly work in London, but also in Bristol and Essex, and provide a national reach through their helpline grieftalk and through the distribution of Grief Relief Kits.

The role is offered on a permanent full-time basis with a salary of £35,000 to £37,000 per annum with a flexible hybrid working model between home and their Bristol Hub.

The post holder will support the delivery of a series of exciting fundraising events, including the biennial Gala Dinner, Golf Day, and Comedy Night.
