What if your next Head of Fundraising role gave you the chance to rethink strategy and grow income for a world-leading specialist hospital?

As the Friends themselves put it, they punch above their weight. Alongside fundraising, they run volunteer services, patient support, retail and hospitality services, plus veterans' initiatives. Their fundraising has helped deliver projects that positively impact and improve patient experience and outcomes, from a nationally recognised, award-winning garden to investment in groundbreaking treatments.

You know how to turn strategy into sustainable income, bring people with you, and build the relationships that make fundraising successful. Just as importantly, you'll be a visible and inspiring leader who invests in developing a high-performing team. We're looking for: Significant senior fundraising experience, with a proven ability to develop and deliver fundraising across multiple income streams. A strong personal track-record of securing high-value support. A data-informed approach, using insight and performance metrics to shape decisions and maximise growth. Experience leading, motivating and developing high-performing teams, creating an environment where people can thrive. Confidence working with Boards, Trustees and senior stakeholders, building credibility and influencing at a strategic level. We'll also expect you to get close to the experiences of patients and staff, understanding their stories and what really matters to them, so you can help bring that to life through fundraising. If you're excited by the prospect of shaping the future of a growing charity, combining strategic leadership with hands-on fundraising, and delivering meaningful impact for patients and staff, we'd love to hear from you. To find out more, please send a copy of your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile to Amelia Lee at Charity People as a first step.
