Are you looking for change in 2024 to a role with more purpose?

Are you seeking a challenge and want to make an impact with your skills?

We may just have the perfect role for you!

We are a leading charitable foundation with a vision for a healthier community and wellbeing for all. The Hospital Research Foundation Group’s purpose is to fund life-changing medical research that helps find cures and improve care for all Australians.

We’ve had some amazing success fundraising in the community both through our life-changing Home Lottery and philanthropy activities over our proud 57-year history in South Australia. We’ve experienced rapid growth in the last 10 years, and now we’re dialing it up another notch, expanding our impact across Australia. Across the 12 charity brands that are part of our Group, we support research, care and health services in over 50 areas of disease and illness; ranging from the most common conditions affecting our loved ones such as cancer, heart disease, dementia and stroke, to rare and under-researched illnesses that need our urgent attention.

That’s why we’re looking for an energetic, purpose-driven individual to join our growing team, who will excel at maximising support in our current networks and generating new supporter leads.

Join an amazing team of passionate and driven people who are changing lives. You will work closely with our Senior Manager – Supporter Engagement and our Senior Executive team, backed by a well-developed organisational and fundraising strategy with an ambitious vision to identify opportunities to grow our income through relationship-focused fundraising with high-net-worth individuals, including Trusts and Foundations.

Whilst someone with a not-for-profit and philanthropy background would be ideal, it is not a deal breaker. Maybe you have experience in business development, relationship sales or marketing and now you want to use those skills to raise income for an incredibly worthwhile cause? You can draw on the years of experience from our expert fundraising team to supercharge your skills for good!
