Put simply, there is nowhere else quite like it. Seven acres of park, playgrounds and Grade II listed community buildings, tucked into the heart of Bloomsbury, dedicated entirely to children and families and where no adult can enter without a child.

It has been this way since 1936 and our jobs and potentially yours, as our new Head of Estates, is to protect this sanctuary for children and young people for generations to come.

This isn’t your average Head of Estates role – it’s a role for someone that cares deeply about their work and someone who will thrive on the prospect of developing and protecting this iconic space for children and young people. The prospect of being able to see the tangible impact of your work in bringing joy to thousands of children and families across London, will hold huge appeal.

What you’ll be doing:

• Overseeing the day-to-day compliance, management and maintenance of our park, playgrounds, sports facilities, and Grade II listed buildings.
• Leading a small, multi-skilled Grounds and Facilities team — recruiting them, developing them, and building a culture they're proud to be part of.
• Overseeing contractors and capital works, from routine repairs to major building projects. 
• Sitting on the Senior Management Team to shape the charity's strategic plans.
• Looking after a grounds and facilities budget of c.£400K.
• Acting as one of four Designated Safeguarding Leads, because looking after this site 
means looking after the children in it.
 

Who we’re looking for:

• An inspiring leader, capable of galvanising and getting the best out of our small but agile team – you’ll thrive on managing people, seeing your team as your greatest asset.
• A systems person, who knows that quality systems and structures are key to consistent, high quality facility management
• Someone who sees the bigger picture but also knows how to balance this with a hands on operational approach when needed.
• Someone with an exceptional attention to detail – you’ll see things that others don’t, set standards at the highest level and help others understand why quality matters.
• An experienced facilities professional, capable of balancing the demands of managing a complex, public space and heritage site.
• A team player – someone with the conviction to own what they do but who also understands 
the value of working and learning from those around them.

Every day, London’s Air Ambulance Charity brings hope to critically injured patients when they need us most. Working alongside the NHS, our advanced trauma team delivers life-saving care across London, made possible entirely by the generosity of our supporters.

We are seeking an exceptional Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships to lead this transformation.

This is a strategic leadership role with responsibility for a £2.7m portfolio spanning major donors, corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations. You’ll shape and deliver an ambitious multi-year strategy, build innovative funding models focused on clinical innovation and research, and create transformational relationships that drive long-term sustainable growth.

As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you’ll:

• Lead and inspire a high-performing philanthropy and partnerships team
• Secure transformational gifts and strategic partnerships
• Champion innovation, data-led decision making and exceptional supporter experiences
• Personally steward some of our most influential supporters and prospects
• Influence organisational strategy and help position London’s Air Ambulance Charity as a sector leader in modern philanthropy

We're looking for a collaborative, visionary and mission-driven leader with a proven track record in high-value fundraising and partnership development. You’ll be an inspiring people leader, a strategic thinker and a confident ambassador who thrives on building meaningful relationships and delivering lasting impact.

If you’re passionate about using philanthropy to save lives and want to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of one of London's most inspiring charities, we'd love to hear from you.
