We bring the magic of cinema into NHS hospitals

Born through the vision of our founder Christine Hill, who had the idea of installing a full, industry-standard cinema into the heart of St Thomas’ Hospital in London, we were founded in 1996 to transform patients’ lives for the better, through the power of film and the escape of cinema. 

Two decades on, we have six full MediCinema venues across the country and these purpose-built and purpose-run cinemas screen for free the latest releases the film industry has to offer; they are set up to accommodate patients in wheelchairs, beds, on drips or monitors, and are staffed by trained volunteers and nurses. The research we commissioned shows that the experience that we provide helps to reduce stress and anxiety, and can help patients feel less isolated. 

Our vision is to be able to scale up our efforts and reach many more patients.  To help us realise this, we are now seeking a new Director of Development who will design and drive a comprehensive fundraising strategy and play a key role in increasing philanthropic income for MediCinema. 

You will be confident in your ability to operate at Director level and have a proven track record of working with corporate partners to deliver highly successful income generating activities.  To succeed in this role, you will be an entrepreneurial, inclusive and collaborative member of the senior management team, with experience of leading and motivating staff, and bring an imaginative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results.  In return, you will have the support of a committed team and highly engaged CEO and Trustees, and have an opportunity to make a real impact on the lives of thousands of people.

If this sounds like the career challenge you’re looking for next, we’d love to hear from you.  Please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates to arrange a confidential chat or to request further information.

What the job involves

This is a fantastic opportunity for a pro-active, people-orientated Learning and Development Officer to join one of the fastest growing charities in the UK. You’ll be part of our dynamic People team, helping to shape our learning and development strategy, delivering on key projects that’ll make a difference to the experience we provide to our people – from our charity induction, to our approach to management development and our apprenticeship programme.

You’ll work as a key advisor to colleagues and stakeholders alike, developing workshops and training materials and advising on the best way to promote opportunities to maximise attendance and ensuring that key objectives are met.

You’ll report regularly on learning opportunities, providing an accurate picture of our progress towards achieving key results that will illustrate our progress, the service we’re providing for our internal ‘customers’ and ultimately how we’re supporting the charity to deliver a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.

This role sits within the People Experience & Development team, reporting into the People Experience & Development Manager, and is part of the wider People directorate.

What we want from you

We’re looking for a proactive, enthusiastic individual with experience in Learning and Development. You’ll have a passion for delivering the best experience for our people and a desire to constantly build on the range of development opportunities available to them.

With experience in developing training programmes and materials, you’ll be comfortable delivering workshops and advising colleagues at all levels, sharing the benefit of your expertise. You’ll also be confident producing and sharing accurate reports and evaluating programmes, and will quickly develop excellent working relationships with both internal and external training providers.

Why work for us?

We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

What we offer

Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will support you to develop your skills and expertise. We’re particularly proud of our agile working arrangements which allow (as appropriate to the role) for flexibility around where and when we carry out our work to ensure we can achieve the best results for the charity, at the same time as balancing our working lives with life’s other commitments!

We also offer a competitive benefits package including generous leave entitlements, season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance and group income protection as well as a Health Cash Plan and free advice and support on pretty much anything via our Employee Assistance Programme.

Our commitment

Our teams, supporters, partners, and those living with prostate cancer, come from all walks of life. We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes our charity stronger and helps us reach more people. If you share our ambition, we would love to hear from you.

Our core business is the delivery of an evidence based, accredited programme of interactive workshops and coaching; underpinned by the principles of social cognitive theory and the concept of self-efficacy. We challenge and re-position the notion of self-management as an individual action, through developing a culture that is based on the interaction between a patient and practitioner. Founded through 15 years of healthcare research at Kingston and St Georges University of London, Bridges uses a powerful theory based model that focuses on the psychology around behaviour and on developing effective relationships between patients and practitioners, to maximise self-management support and long-term wellbeing.

Bridges is collaborative. We are built on the principles of co-design, and this extends throughout our team as an equal partnership. One of the unique aspects of Bridges, is that everything we do is co-delivered or co-designed by a team made of highly skilled practitioners and those with lived experience as a patient. This dynamic encourages people to think differently and open up to new possibilities. 

We are leaders in our field, with an ambitious growth strategy and a passion for facilitating real change across healthcare systems. 

We are looking to recruit an experienced educator and facilitator, to be a key member of the Bridges team, and to lead on the quality and delivery of learning and teaching across all Bridges programmes and services.
