As the NHS Trust Engagement & Fundraising Manager, you will also be the central contact for fundraising, building meaningful and lasting relationships with Trust staff, service users, carers and families; supporting them to achieve their fundraising ambitions.

Maudsley Charity already have a good relationship with the Trust but now we want to work more strategically, so staff know who we are and how we’ve supported them in the past, how we can help them and the Trust to make a greater impact on people with mental illnesses, and how they can support us to do that.

We are a small but mighty Fundraising and Communications team, right at the start of our journey, so this role will be both rewarding and challenging. You’ll need to be able to flex between designing well-informed plans that look to the future, to doing the groundwork to get the basics right.

We are committed to offering interviews to candidates who meet the role requirements and have lived experience of mental illness.

The successful candidate will be able to navigate complex organisations, build strong relationships and engage people individually and en masse through a range of channels. You’ll need to be able to balance looking and planning ahead with rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in. It would be helpful if you’ve worked in a fundraising environment before, if you have managed long-term donor or client relationships, or have experience of working in an NHS or mental health charity. Above all, we are looking for potential, so if you think this role is for you, please get in touch with Harris Hill for more info and to apply.
