Help Shape a Lasting Legacy that Transforms the Future of Healthcare

St Vincent’s Curran Foundation partners with donors, clinicians and hospital leaders to support excellence in patient care, research, innovation and compassionate healthcare across St Vincent’s Health Australia in NSW.

We are seeking an experienced, relationship-driven fundraising manager to join the Planned Giving team in the role of Bequest Acquisition Manager. This is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the future of compassionate healthcare by helping grow and strengthen the Foundation’s bequest program across St Vincent’s hospitals and facilities in New South Wales.

Working closely with the Director of Bequests and Planned Giving, you will develop and implement acquisition and cultivation strategies that inspire supporters to leave a lasting legacy through a gift in their Will.

Your experience does not need to have been gained specifically in bequests. We are interested in accomplished fundraisers who have developed donor relationships, written compelling fundraising communications, designed and implemented acquisition or engagement campaigns, and used campaign insights to strengthen future performance.

Experience gained across major giving, individual giving, regular giving, community fundraising or another relationship-led fundraising portfolio would be highly relevant.
