Overview

We are seeking an experienced, high-performing Events Fundraising Lead to drive forward a flagship portfolio of fundraising events with strategic control, operational excellence and a deep sense of ownership. This is a senior delivery role, accountable for all aspects of planning, executing and evaluating complex fundraising events across Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation, Evelina London Children’s Charity, and Guy’s Cancer Charity. This position requires someone who can operate independently, manage high-value partnerships, oversee delivery risks, and influence cross-functional teams with credibility. You will be expected to take initiative, lead relationships and processes without supervision, and support junior colleagues in upholding the highest operational standards. A key element of this role is working closely with the Events Fundraising Co-ordinator to ensure seamless delivery — offering guidance and support across all operational touchpoints, while also benefiting from their delivery support in return.

About us

Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity and Evelina London Children’s Charity are part of Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation.  Our collective mission is to build the foundations of a healthier society.

As part of our team, you will work alongside talented people from a mix of personal and professional backgrounds. We are a Living Wage employer and support flexible working, part-time roles and job shares. Though our ambitions are serious, this is a friendly place to work with lots of opportunities to meet and socialise with colleagues. We believe there is immense power in diversity and aim to recruit and nurture talent who think and act differently.

• how we approach recruitment       
• our team, culture and values   
• the benefits of working with us       
• and our approach to diversity, equity & inclusion, health & wellbeing, and learning & development

Overall Purpose of the role

The Events Fundraising Lead plays a critical role within the fundraising team, combining strategic oversight with a hands-on commitment to delivery excellence. At a time of organisational transformation and ambitious long-term growth, this role is central to building the operational foundations and supporter experiences that will enable our 10-year vision to succeed.  This role will provide clear direction and structure to the planning and execution of our event portfolio, while remaining close to the operational detail — streamlining processes, refining supporter journeys, and driving performance through data, insight and continuous improvement.  This role is responsible for setting high standards across everything from partnership engagement to on-the-day execution. It requires someone who is comfortable working autonomously, leading high-value relationships with professionalism and precision, and bringing creative thinking to how we engage and retain our event supporters. The Events Fundraising Lead will also guide and support the Events Fundraising Co-ordinator, working in close partnership to deliver exceptional stewardship across the supporter lifecycle and elevate every touchpoint — from first sign-up to post-event celebration. This is a key opportunity for an experienced event professional to shape the future of events at Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation and play a leading role in how we build supporter loyalty, scale income, and strengthen our presence in third-party partnerships.

• Act as the strategic lead and key relationship manager with external partners (e.g. London Marathon Events, contracted delivery agencies), managing high-stakes negotiations and ensuring our brand and supporter experience are protected at all stages.
• Develop and manage detailed event budgets, including forecasting, tracking, reconciliation and net income reporting.
• Design recruitment and supporter acquisition strategies (e.g. ballot, registration flows, digital campaigns, grassroots marketing), optimising for retention and ROI in collaboration with digital and comms teams.
• Provide operational guidance and oversight to the Events Fundraising Co-ordinator, ensuring compliance, quality, and consistency across all shared delivery elements.
• Collaborate on supporter stewardship planning and execution, ensuring high-quality communications, journeys and post-event follow-up — with appropriate division of responsibilities between Lead and Co-ordinator.
• Own the production and implementation of risk assessments, permits, insurances and safety documentation, ensuring all activity is compliant and appropriately escalated when needed.
• Evaluate events against defined KPIs, using data insight and feedback to improve delivery, supporter satisfaction and financial performance.

This is a part-time role with a flexible working arrangement, combining remote work with time in our office based in Park Gate. As the charity continues to grow, there is potential for the role to develop into a full-time position.

Organisation: NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation

Position: Deputy Charity Chief Officer/Children and

Young Person Lead

Salary: £74,003-£79,164 (Grade 8b)

Contract: Full-time and Permanent

Location: Dundee/Hybrid

NHS Tayside (NHST) is an NHS board which forms one of the fourteen regions of NHS Scotland. It provides healthcare services in Angus, the City of Dundee and Perth and Kinross. NHST is headquartered at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee.

NHS Tayside Charitable Foundation is a Registered Scottish Charity which supports NHS Tayside hospitals and services. It holds endowment property and funds for purposes relating to health services and research.  The Foundation is also funded by donations, fundraising campaigns and legacies received from patients, their relatives, the general public and other organisations.  The overall strategy of the Foundation is to provide support to Tayside NHS Board in whatever way the Trustees consider appropriate, subject to any specified directions under their Charter, to make a big difference to patients and their families across Tayside.

Charity Chief Officer, Shelley McCarthy, was appointed 2 years ago. She is delivering the objectives and goals set out in the 2023-2026 strategy which sets out the Trustees’ ambitions to develop a new function and, potentially a new charity, focussed on its ambitions to provide greater support for children and young people. To this end, a new role has been created for a Children and Young Person’s Lead who will oversee this area and also act as Deputy Chief Officer with additional responsibility across the Foundation.

This post will develop the strategy around the children and young persons’ service in close consultation with the Chief Officer and Trustees. You will also line manage all 3 Managers and, indirectly manage 4 other members of staff who sit within their teams. This will allow the Chief Officer to hold a more strategic and externally focussed role.

To be a candidate of interest for this role you must have senior and strategic leadership and management experience, deep knowledge of growing fundraising/income generation through a diverse range of income channels and outstanding stakeholder relationship management skills at all levels, internally and externally.

Good health is one of the most basic human rights and, by supplementing the core services that NHST provides, the Foundation can make a real and tangible difference to people’s lives. This role will be as rewarding as it is challenging as you will be instrumental in supporting the Charity Chief Officer to shape this critical charity for the future.

Stroke Association is the UK's largest charity dedicated to helping with the emotional, practical and financial cost a stroke can have.

Surviving a stroke is just the start of a long and difficult recovery journey. Stroke Association is there to support stroke survivors and help their families find the strength they need to find their way back to living a fulfilling life.

A stroke can happen to anyone, of any age, at any time and one in four strokes happen in people of working age.

“I’m Leighton and when I was 39 years young I had a stroke.  There’s a sentence I never, ever thought I would write. But that’s the thing with stroke, it doesn’t care how fit and healthy I was. It doesn’t care that I’m a dad with a 10-year-old son. A son that needs me.”

We are looking for a passionate, enthusiastic and motivated individual to join the team raising vital funds to provide this invaluable lifelong support for all stroke survivors, just like Leighton.

The Role

This is an exciting new role in a newly created team, formed to acquire strategic corporate partnerships and community connections. Main responsibilities will include:

• Developing a robust pipeline of future support focussing on high value relationships.
• Delivering engagement strategies and products to enhance the conversion rate of your pipeline.
• Developing and delivering a relationship stewardship plan for all corporate partners.
• Delivering an individual income target.
• Tracking and monitoring income and pipeline values to support with forecasting and budgeting.

The Person

We are looking for a confident and enthusiastic person with excellent communication and relationship building skills. You should be excited by the prospect of building a new pipeline and portfolio of corporate partners and be confident stewarding relationships in this space. 

You must be able to work flexibly to maximise opportunities across Scotland, and have the initiative and ability to work with autonomy. Previous experience in fundraising is desirable; however, we are also keen to speak with people who also have the knowledge and experience in building relationships and are keen to transfer this skillset into the rewarding world of fundraising!

Why Stroke Association?

The Fundraising team at Stroke Association pride themselves on fostering an open, honest, flexible and supportive working environment. The culture is such that everyone feels valued and recognised and despite being a disparate team, there are strong bonds formed across the charity. Not only does this charity transform the lives of stroke survivors and their families, but it also offers a wonderful environment to work in where people add value and have a positive impact every single day.

The charity’s benefits also include elements such as volunteering days, long service awards, incremental annual leave increase with service, a generous pension contribution and enhanced maternity and paternity leave.

If this sounds like the opportunity for the next phase of your career, then get in touch! The role permanent and full-time (but flexible working will be considered). You must either have a driving licence and access to your own vehicle, or be able to demonstrate that you can meet the travel requirements of the role which include travelling extensively across the region/country.
