Manager

Murray House Wentworth Aged Care

Part-Time (0.6 FTE) | $100,000 – $120,000 FTE (Pro-Rata) | Wentworth, NSW

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 opportunity 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
