Why we need your help
Marie Curie is looking for a Collection Organiser to help us co-ordinate our in-store bucket collections in Shepton Mallet, and to help us raise vital funds for our end of life care and support services in Somerset.
Our nurses, health care assistants and support staff in Somerset work day and night to ensure that people get the best end of life care possible. Fundraising for Marie Curie helps us to ensure we can support people living with any terminal illness and their families.

The role of Collection Organiser involves supporting volunteer collectors at bucket collections in stores. This can involve dropping off/collecting kit and supplies on the day, counting and banking money, and thanking collectors.
The role is very flexible and generally requires one day of volunteering twice a year. We tend to collect in the Spring during our Great Daffodil Appeal, and at Christmas in Shepton Mallet. Your local Community Fundraiser will be there to support you in your role, answer any questions, and provide updates on the charity's work and the impact of your role.
What skills or experience do you need?
- Interest in fundraising and volunteering in your local area
- Ability to follow safe cash handling procedures
- An approachable and friendly nature
- Reliability and commitment
- Inclusive and respectful values
What we can offer you
- An excellent opportunity to build on your skills in a charity environment
- An induction, training, support and supervision in your role
- Regular charity updates and information
- Agreed reasonable out of pocket expenses
