About Us

Wellington Hospitals Foundation is on an exciting journey of transformation.

Building on the success of our world-class Children's Hospital Te Wao Nui, we're on a mission to amplify long-term sustainable fundraising to support great healthcare across the region.

You'll work alongside a new dynamic and growth-focused CEO as well as a deeply knowledgeable Head of Fundraising who are both excited by innovation and experimentation.

We are offering $120-140k pro-rated to 0.8 FTE for this position depending on level of experience and fit against the key competencies of the role.

We're seeking candidates who :
