National Voices

Making what matters to people matter in health and care

National Voices is the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England. We have more than 200 members covering a diverse range of health conditions and communities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people. We work together to strengthen the voice of people: patients, service users, people accessing services, their families, and the voluntary organisations that work for them.

Our Vision:

People shaping their health and care.

Our Mission:

We advocate for more equitable and person-centred health and care, shaped by the people who use and need it the most.

We do this by:

· Understanding and advocating for what matters to people especially those living with health conditions and groups who experience inequalities

· Finding common cause across communities and conditions by working with member charities and those they support

· Connecting and convening charities, decision makers and citizens to work together to change health and care for good.

The role

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and ambitious Business Development Manager to lead our organisational efforts around income generation. The role is ideal for someone with experience in fundraising and/or business development interested in leading the work of a small but impactful and highly respected charity in the health and social care space.

At National Voices, fundraising responsibilities are shared across the organisation, so it is important that the successful candidate is able to work in a collaborative way with others and is just as happy with rolling up their sleeves and writing bids and supporting others to.

National Voices’ is a unique organisation and so we are keen to bring on board a Business Development Manager who understands what our niche offer is and can work creatively to find funders and clients who are interested in that. We’re proud to be an organisation:

- Which brings together 200+ health and care charities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people.

- With an impactful policy and public affairs function, which is able to get into the room with top policy and political figures to make the case for a more person-centred and equitable health and care system.

- With a strong research function, which is able to credibly and impactfully bring together the insights of people who experience health inequalities and people with long-term conditions in a way that informs and improves the practice of decision makers in the NHS and social care.

- With a skilled lived experience team, that works to develop the skills and knowledge of decision makers in health and care around co-production and co-design, and invests in the skills and agency of people with lived experience of health and care.

- With a strong focus on reducing health inequalities and a commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches to our work.

While your primary role will be raising funds for National Voices, you will need to be confident in acting as an ambassador for the organisation and in conveying who we are, what we do and the key priorities of our members and people who use health and care.

Our approach to hybrid working

We recognise the importance of coming together regularly, in-person, as a team, so we can share learnings and spend social time with each other. We also recognise that people need flexibility, and that homeworking enables focused work and can fit well in people’s lives.

We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space. We also might ask you to meet in-person with members of your team from time to time, or to be available for face-to-face meetings with clients and partners where this enhances the work.

We assume that this would usually not amount to more than one day per fortnight for people who work full time.

We are happy to discuss how this sits in your life. This can be agreed by your line manager.

Equality and inclusion

As reflected in our Equality Action Plan, we are committed to being a truly diverse organisation. We want to ensure that our trustees, staff members, lived experience partners and volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds, each bringing their own unique perspectives and experiences. We want to ensure that everyone feels heard and is fully able to participate and thrive.

We currently have an under-representation of people from racial and ethnic minority groups in managerial roles in our organisation and so would particularly welcome applications from people from these groups.

We welcome applications from people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system. For some roles, you may be asked to undergo a basic or enhanced DBS check, but you will only be deemed ineligible for roles which relate to any offences on your criminal record.

We have a range of benefits in place to ensure everyone can thrive, for example:

· We are a Disability Confident employer

· We offer enhanced parental and sickness leave

· We offer flexible working wherever possible

· We provide our employees with an annual wellbeing allowance

· And much more
