About Us

Murray House Wentworth Aged Care is a community-owned, not-for-profit aged care facility providing high-quality, person-centred care to up to 70 residents. Overseen by a voluntary Board of Directors, we're proud of our supportive, home-like environment where dignity, independence and respect come first.

As a not-for-profit, our ability to keep improving services, facilities and resident outcomes depends on grants, donations and community support - and that's where this role comes in.

About the Role

We're looking for a driven and relationship-focused Fundraising, Grants and Community Partnerships Manager to lead the development and delivery of Murray House's fundraising, grants and community engagement strategy.

Reporting to the CEO, you'll play a key role in strengthening our financial sustainability - identifying and securing external funding to support capital replacement, resident wellbeing initiatives and strategic growth, while reducing our reliance on operational revenue and resident fees.

This is a genuine chance to build something from the ground up: a fundraising strategy, a donor database, and a long-term bequest program, all while representing Murray House across the local community.

What You'll Be Doing

- Researching, preparing and submitting grant applications, and managing acquittals and compliance reporting
- Developing and delivering annual fundraising plans, campaigns and donor stewardship programs
- Building strategic relationships with government agencies, businesses, service clubs, trusts, foundations and donors




- Securing sponsorships to support equipment, programs and capital projects
- Working with the CEO and Executive Team to fund clinical equipment, IT, vehicles, facility upgrades and other capital priorities
- Contributing to business cases, funding submissions and strategic growth projects
- Producing donor impact reports, grant success stories and content for newsletters and annual reports

What We're Looking For

Essential:

- Demonstrated experience in grant writing, fundraising, business development or community engagement
- A track record of securing external funding through grants, sponsorships or fundraising activities
- Excellent written communication and report-writing skills
- Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship management skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities independently
- A relevant qualification in Business, Marketing, Communications, Community Development, Fundraising or a related field

Desirable:

- Experience in aged care, health, disability or the not-for-profit sector
- Knowledge of philanthropic funding, charitable trusts and foundation grants
- Experience managing fundraising events or donor programs
- Marketing, communications or PR experience
- Fundraising Institute Australia, Grant Writing, Business Development or Project Management qualifications

Pre-employment requirements:

- NDIS Worker Screening Check
- Evidence of three COVID-19 vaccinations

Why Join Murray House?

- Make a tangible difference to the lives of older people in our community
- A newly-shaped role with real scope to set the strategic direction of fundraising and community partnerships
- Flexible part-time hours (0.6 FTE)
- Supportive, close-knit team culture within a respected community-owned organisation

Murray House is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
