Major Donor Jobs in Camden
For over 500 years, Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation have been a constant in London's ever-changing landscape, at the leading edge of health. It is located in the heart of a global city that is vibrant and diverse, but that is also a place with stark health inequity.
As an independent organisation, Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation invests, partners, engages and influences to come at big health challenges from all angles. Through a family of forward-looking organisations (Impact on Urban Health, Guy's & St Thomas' Charity, Guy's Cancer Charity & Evelina London Children's Charity), they collaborate with communities, partners, and hospitals, and use assets to transform lives.
This is an opportunity to join the Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation team, at a time where they are bringing their fundraising function in-house.

You will work closely with the philanthropy, corporate, grant team and clinical colleagues across the 3 hospitals to produce compelling and bespoke impact reports, communications and engagement opportunities for donors. The role is the subject matter expert in donor relations and will provide expert advice to stakeholders across the fundraising team and three hospitals regarding donor relations and stewardship activities.
This will mean working strategically to make recommendations, deliver and implement a range of meaningful donor experiences, communications, recognition opportunities, costings and activities for our most significant donors, deepening their connection to the charity and connecting them with the tangible impact of their giving.
To be considered for the role, you will bring experience of translating audience insight and profiling into key messaging and engaging content.
