The Sirona Foundation is a small charitable organization which exists to support the health and wellbeing of local communities and staff, especially those associated with Sirona care & health .  Its primary focus is to provide funding to enable a better experience for individuals and improve wellbeing – this may include community projects; vital equipment and or staff development or support opportunities outside the limit of normal funding sources.

Funding for the Foundation has traditionally come from several sources including grants from Sirona; legacies and donations from people who have received services from Sirona and contributions following fund raising events held by its staff. 

The Sirona Foundation now wants to grow alongside Sirona so they can continue to provide support to a much wider geography and more diverse communities.  They are now looking for someone to help them to achieve this. 

It is an exciting time to join, you will have a unique opportunity to help shape the future direction of the foundation, we are particularly interested to talk to you if you have the skills, background or experience in the following areas:

• Experience of working in or with a charity or similar organisation.

• Evidence of successful fundraising and/or business development.

• Experience of developing and delivering fundraising strategies and programmes.

• Experience of preparing communications and marketing strategies to raise the profile.

• Administration and financial administration skills to report to Trustees and attend Trustee meetings.

It will be the first paid post for the Foundation and, as such, they are looking for an individual who is self-motivated, confident, strong communication skills (both verbal and written) with the ability to lead initiatives and a hands-on attitude.  You will need to be at ease making approaches and building new relationships. 

Full time (37.5 hours per week). Flexibility with number of hours offered. Working patterns will need to be varied with the need for flexibility and ability to respond to events and meetings outside of normal working day.  Travel will be required and business mileage will be paid.
