At Whiddon, we believe aged care is more than care — it’s about connection, dignity, and creating meaningful moments that matter.
As our communities grow and evolve, so too does our ambition. We’re stepping into a new chapter — one that expands our impact beyond today, investing in innovation, research, and community initiatives that will shape the future of ageing.
We are seeking a passionate and strategic Philanthropy Manager to bring the Whiddon Foundation to life. This is more than a fundraising role — it’s an opportunity to build something from the ground up. You’ll play a pivotal role in establishing and leading Whiddon’s philanthropic capability, driving sustainable income streams that support meaningful outcomes for our residents, clients, and communities.
Reporting to the GM Marketing, Communications and Sales, this role will see you working closely with our CEO, Executives, Board and senior leaders, where you’ll help transform ideas into impact — connecting generous donors and partners with causes that truly matter.
Design and deliver a forward-thinking philanthropy strategy, growing income streams across major gifts, trusts, foundations and bequests
This is a hands-on leadership role where strategy meets action — perfect for someone who enjoys both thinking big and rolling up their sleeves.
Bonus points if you have:
But most importantly — you’re driven by purpose. You understand that behind every donation is a story, a person, and an opportunity to create lasting change.
At Whiddon, we provide our people with benefits that will enhance their experience and provide them with things they actually want and will use. Our benefits are centred around ‘Five Pillars’ – mind, body, financial, social and career.
