St George’s Hospital Charity is committed to enhancing the life-changing care at St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Our dedication lies in making a tangible difference to patients and their families by supporting innovative developments that go above and beyond what the NHS provides. Our goal is to contribute to an enhanced experience and improved outcomes for those who rely on us in their time of need.

Catering to a vast population of 1.3 million people across South West London, and 3.5 million people in Surrey and Sussex, St George’s Hospital stands as one of the nation’s largest teaching hospitals, with an international reputation for quality of care, education, and pioneering treatments.

Our ambitions

The charity has been embracing exciting, new opportunities and increasing its impact since it became fully independent of the NHS in 2017 and today, it works hand in glove with the Trust to fund a range of projects, equipment, and services.

We have an ambitious agenda and are poised for growth, aiming to double or income from £3m in 5 years with a particular focus on increasing unrestricted income.  We have launched several exciting new initiatives to help reach these targets including a current major appeal, ‘Time for Change’, which aims to have raised £5m by the end of 2025, as well as the successful rollout of the charity’s first face-to-face fundraising programme.

To help realise our ambition, we are looking for a Director of Fundraising and Communications to join our senior leadership team and support the charity in achieving our goals.

The role

This crucial role will help to strategically grow and develop our income and awareness. As part of the Senior Management Team, you will report directly to the charity’s CEO, have key Trustee relationships with the Chair and Fundraising lead Trustee, and build collaborative relationships with the senior staff and clinicians across St George’s University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

You will build and lead the fundraising and communications team, both strategically and operationally, whilst managing them through a period of change. You will drive and deliver fundraising and marketing strategies, identify key areas to accelerate growth across a diversified range of income streams, and drive greater brand awareness.

This role will be required in the office a minimum of two days a week, with flexibility to engage with key stakeholders in the hospital according to their availability.

The person

We are seeking an experienced senior fundraiser to develop and grow sustainable, long-term support across all income streams, but with particular attention to the high-value portfolio.  

With proven experience of successfully developing and implementing ambitious fundraising and communications strategies, you will be an exceptional relationship builder, capable of building and nurturing strong and productive relationships, both internally and externally. We are also looking for an inspiring leader who will empower and support their team through a period of change, as well as the wider organisation to deliver our ambitious growth targets.
