When you step into a role, what do you want the purpose of the company you work for to be? How does that align with the individual purpose that motivates your ambition?

As the only independent Medical Research institute in Australia focused on childhood cancer, our purpose is to translate and discover (through world class research), new treatments that will cure cancer and reduce the side effects in children and adolescents.

We save & change lives. At Children’s Cancer Institute we believe that a life should be long. Cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year before they’ve even had a chance to make their mark. We aim to not only improve their quality of life but eradicate the cause of their pain.

Choose to be part of a team that will nurture your talent and grow your career, so you too can contribute to this purpose. Together, we can, and we will cure all children of cancer. It’s not if. It’s when.

As our Philanthropy Senior Coordinator, you will support the implementation of the Gift in Wills (GIW) strategy, providing best-practice relationship management to new and existing supporters. This is achieved through personalised and meaningful engagement.
