About Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC)
Established in 1991, Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is responsible for providing pre-hospital critical care across the six Midlands counties of: Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. The charity also delivers secondary cover to surrounding areas, such as Warwickshire and mid Wales. Our services are provided by operating three air ambulance helicopters and three critical care cars, which serve the growing Midlands population of six million plus people.
Our organisation is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as an independent health care provider. To fund our operations, we rely on the generous support of the public via donations and income from our expanding portfolio of charity shops. We set our standards in line with leading industry bodies such as the Fundraising Regulator, The Charity Commission and the Charity Retail Association. We have also recently been accredited as a gold standard employer by Investors In People.

You will provide support to the Community Fundraising Manager, working within the wider fundraising division.

You will also play an important part in utilising our new Airbase and Headquarters to forge strong links with local communities and increase engagement.
As a longstanding charity, with over 30 years of service, we have established networks in place.
