Hours:                                37 hours

Location:                            Leeds

Reporting to                       CEO

Salary                                 £25k

Apply with covering letter and CV - deadline to apply Monday 2nd March.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Children’s Heart Surgery Fund

The Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) is an award-winning regional charity supporting children and adults, and their families, born with congenital heart defects across Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. 

The charity was established in 1988 to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit at Leeds Children’s Hospital, which treats more than 20,000 patients each year. The Charity supports the Leeds Congenital Heart service by providing the funding and resources to support: 

• The Heart, by providing revolutionary medical equipment and funding training for the medical employees within the congenital heart service.

• The Mind, by creating a restful environment on the wards and funding play and distraction equipment.

• The Family, by contributing towards living expenses, offering accommodation to parents and giving exceptional grants.

• The Future, by funding research, clinical posts and projects.

History

The Children’s Heart Surgery Fund was created in 1988 by Duncan Walker, then a heart surgeon at the old Killingbeck Hospital in Leeds. Thanks to his fundraising efforts, in 1990 Duncan was given the accolade of Yorkshireman of the Year. Since 1988, CHSF has awarded around £3 million in grants to the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, its patients and their families.

There are many vital grants – both large and small – within CHSF’s work, and one of the most important was the award of almost £250,000 between 1999 and 2002 donated to Leeds University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. The initial grant was grown into much greater funding and helped established a project that led to the creation of a York-based company called Tissue Regenix. This organisation are now leaders in the development of medical devices, including replacement heart valves.

Over recent years, CHSF has invested significant funding into family accommodation based near the Leeds Children’s Hospital. This has included £525,000 being awarded to the Sick Children’s Trust first to build and now maintain parental housing at Eckersley House.

CHSF campaigned against NHS proposals to end children’s heart surgery in Yorkshire – a move that would have meant the region’s young patients being relocated to Newcastle, Birmingham or Liverpool for heart surgery. After an extraordinary award-winning, a campaign that united the people of the region – including a 600,000-signature petition that was delivered to the Prime Minister – the NHS proposals were rejected by the Health Secretary in 2013.

CHSF has made countless grants that have paid for ground-breaking new equipment; resources for the unit; staff training; family accommodation and support; and, many, many more projects. This is thanks to the staff, trustees, supporters and fundraisers who have made this possible.

CHSF are proud of their record of impact against the charity’s main objective to help the region’s congenital heart patients and hopes to fulfil their aim which is to help support the Leeds Congenital Heart centre become a recognised ‘World Class’ centre of excellence. In 2018, CHSF’s latest appeal, keeping the Beat, successfully raised £700,000 towards a state-of-the-art children’s heart theatre.
