The consultant will lead investigations into the ‘The UK’s benefit from funded Health Partnerships under the DHSC funded GHWP’.
As benefit back to the UK becomes increasingly important in the evolving funding landscape, GHP is commissioning a study to explore and examine the value of DHSC-funded health partnerships to the UK health system. While bi-directional learning and mutual benefit have been highlighted through GHWP reports and sharing and learning events, these insights have not yet been fully synthesised or clearly articulated in a way that supports future funding and policy positioning.
We wish to commission a short-term consultancy to review and examine existing literature and data, including published and grey literature, including GHWP reports, reports from other DHSC-funded GHP projects, and other available documentation on the benefits of global health engagement to the UK. (see Related Papers section).
Some qualitative data collection may potentially be involved.
Assignment
Aim
The aim is to produce a concise, evidence-based report that captures key themes such as professional development, system learning, innovation exchange, and reputational value, demonstrating the tangible and strategic returns to the UK from its investment in global health and global health partnerships.
Objectives
-
To identify and analyse the professional and institutional gains for UK health workers and organisations involved in the implementation of the GHWP.
-
To assess how the GHWP work has contributed to UK health worker and health system strengthening, innovation, and global health leadership.
-
To build on existing literature and evaluations, including from other DHSC-funded GHP programmes to provide a robust evidence base for the mutual benefits of global health partnerships.
Outcomes
-
Re-centre Health Partnerships as a key component of the UK’s global health offer, showcasing benefits to the UK.

Encourage greater support within the NHS for institutional engagement in global health and support within the UK Government for increased spending on global health.

Corporate Fundraising
- Design and implement a new corporate fundraising strategy
- Lead the identification and prioritisation of strategic corporate opportunities.

- Develop the necessary infrastructure (e.g. pipeline management, prospecting systems) for long-term corporate fundraising success.
Major Donor Support
- Act as a senior partner to the CEO in managing and stewarding major donors.
- Ensure the department provides the research, briefing, and coordination required to support a best-in-class major donor experience.
Legacy Community Fundraising
- Provide oversight and continuity for a limited number of legacy community events, ensuring they are delivered with appropriate resource and quality.
- Work with the Fundraising & Events Manager to assess the future viability of these events and how they may integrate with or exit from the broader fundraising strategy.
- Maintain key relationships with mosque and school partners to preserve goodwill and support transitional planning.
Team Leadership
- Line manage the Fundraising & Events Manager, providing coaching, strategic direction, and performance support.
- Ensure the team structure remains fit for purpose as event formats, income goals, and capacity evolve.
- Delegate operational oversight of individual events and activities while maintaining accountability for departmental outcomes.
Cross-Organisational Leadership
- Represent fundraising and events at the senior leadership level, contributing to organisational strategy and decision-making.
- Foster a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement across teams.
- Uphold high standards of integrity, professionalism, and alignment with the charity’s values and mission.

- Familiarity with charity CRMs and performance reporting tools.
- Experience working within a faith-informed or values-driven organisation.
