Partnerships & Engagement Coordinator

Make an impact where it matters most.

At Charlies Foundation for Research, we exist to make a very real difference, backing world-class medical research, cutting-edge treatments, and patient-focused projects at Sir Charles Gairdner and Osborne Park Hospitals. Every gift, every partnership, every connection we nurture fuels discoveries that mean better care and better lives for West Australians.

We are unapologetically donor-first. Their generosity drives everything we do, and we make sure they feel it every step of the way.

We're a small but mighty team, who is creative, collaborative, and proudly punching above our weight.  And, we're not slowing down. With bold new campaigns on the horizon and growing donor and partner communities to serve, we're looking for someone who wants to roll up their sleeves, bring fresh energy, and grow with us.

That's where you come in.

• Help craft proposals, impact reports, and events that bring supporters closer to our cause.
• Keep projects moving with your brilliant organisation skills.
• Dive into data, insights, and donor journeys to make every touch point count.

This is a hands-on role with loads of variety. You'll work closely with our Fundraising & Partnerships Manager and collaborate with colleagues across comms, community fundraising, and hospital teams. And with the right person, this role will only grow.
