Angkor Hospital for Children is a leading children’s healthcare organisation with a mission to improve healthcare for all Cambodian children. For over twenty years, families have brought their children to the hospital for life-saving medical treatment, free of charge. The hospitals sees hundreds of children every day and provides specialist treatment rarely found elsewhere in Cambodia. AHC has provided over 2.5 million medical treatments to children from across the country.
AHC is one of three paediatric teaching hospitals in Cambodia, working to train and develop the next generation of health workers. We work in communities to engage, empower and educate on health issues in order to prevent children becoming ill. We share our learning through research to improve healthcare for children around the world. Every day the team are saving and improving children’s lives, with the support of donors near and far.
It is an exciting time to join AHC. Transitioning to local leadership is a pillar of the current strategic plan and for the first time in the organisation’s history, the organisation’s CEO and all Heads of Department are Cambodian. In early 2022, the Development function of international staff and PR function of local staff merged to create a multi-disciplinary Fundraising Department staffed by talented national and international communications specialists and fundraisers.
The new department is responsible for delivering the organisation’s US$5.5 million dollar annual operating budget. Last year, 35% of AHC’s income came from within Cambodia, with the remainder from international sources. AHC is looking for a talented, dedicated and experienced fundraiser to lead the Corporate and Events team.
The Corporate and Events Manager leads a team of three fundraisers responsible for raising c$1million per year for the hospital from corporate partnerships, hospital Visitor Centre and events. The role is responsible for building links with companies within Cambodia and the wider Asia-Pacific region, maximising the potential for long-term sustainable partnerships.
The team leads on a calendar of unique and interesting events, including an annual religious celebration in partnership with Buddhist monks throughout Cambodia, corporate cycling challenge and Angkor Wat Half Marathon.
There is significant room to grow the fundraising contribution of the team through regional corporate partnerships, a shift to strategic partnerships with current Cambodian corporates and growing ‘in-aid-of’ fundraising activities internationally and locally. As tourists return to Siem Reap there is untapped potential for growing the AHC donor base through the hospital Visitor Centre.
The team contains a local Events Lead, Visitor Centre Officer and Corporate & Events Senior Officer. AHC has an existing donor base and excellent reputation in Cambodia, regionally and internationally. You will develop and support your team members, building skills and expertise within the team and succession planning for the Manager role.
This is a varied and exciting opportunity for a skilled fundraiser looking to work at one of the most successful and well-loved national charities in Cambodia. It is an opportunity to work in a multicultural and diverse team, with donors of a broad range of backgrounds, pioneering an innovative fundraising approach combining local and international experience. You’ll be based in the hospital grounds, seeing the impact of your fundraising on a daily basis. You will be part of ensuring children in Cambodia get the high quality compassionate medical care they deserve, now and for years to come.
