If you require the use of AI software to aid in completing your application, we ask you use the generative responses as a prompt for writing your answers and avoid copying and pasting.

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.

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.
