Make a Real Difference Where It Matters Most

Why Kingston Hospital Charity?

Because here, your work genuinely matters. Kingston Hospital Charity isn’t just another fundraising operation, it’s the driving force behind projects that transform patient care across Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust. From creating dementia friendly environments on Kingston Hospital’s care of the elderly wards to funding the introduction of robotic assisted surgery, the charity turns generosity into tangible change. They fund what the NHS isn’t able to, bringing comfort, dignity, and innovation to patients when they need it most - and they’re ambitious about scaling that impact even further.

The team has a clear plan: to sustainably grow income and build a supporter giving programme that delivers measurable impact for patients, creates meaningful experiences for donors, and nurtures genuine, lasting relationships through storytelling that truly resonates.

What Makes This Role Great

This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You’ll lead on gifts in wills and in-memory fundraising — with the freedom to shape and grow these income streams. Working alongside the Director and the Communications and Engagement Senior Manager, you’ll develop and deliver a three-year strategy that drives real change.

You’ll collaborate with dedicated clinical colleagues and passionate supporters who care deeply about the cause. And you’ll do it within an organisation that lives its values: compassion, inclusivity, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to helping every person thrive.

Hybrid working, a supportive team, and a culture that celebrates impact. It’s the kind of role that reminds you why you got into fundraising in the first place.

Who We’re Looking For

You have solid experience in gifts in wills, and/or in-memory fundraising — and a track record of developing strategies that meet (and exceed) targets. You’re confident communicating with everyone from solicitors to clinicians to supporters, tailoring your message to build trust and engagement.

Organised, adaptable, and purpose-driven, you believe that great fundraising changes lives — and you’re ready to prove it.

How to Apply

Through strategic relationship building, creative collaboration, and authentic storytelling, you will connect the values and ambitions of our partners with SHP’s mission to end homelessness in London - turning corporate energy into lasting social change.

Working at the heart of SHP’s Fundraising team, you will lead the development of innovative partnerships that raise vital income, expand our volunteering offer, and create meaningful opportunities for businesses to engage with our work. You will nurture relationships with existing partners, while securing exciting new collaborations that deliver mutual value and deepen their commitment to our cause. From six-figure fundraising initiatives to dynamic corporate events, your creativity and strategic vision will ensure every partnership reaches its full potential and has a measurable impact on our clients’ lives.

From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 10,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.
