Background information

About us:

National Voices is the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England. We have more than 200 members covering a diverse range of health conditions and communities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people. We work together to strengthen the voice of patients, people with Lived Experience, unpaid carers, their families and the voluntary organisations that work for them.

Our mission:

We advocate for a more equitable and person-centred health and care, shaped by the people who use and need it the most.

We do this by:

- Understanding and advocating for what matters to people, especially those living with health conditions and groups who experience inequalities

- Finding common cause across communities and conditions by working with member charities and those they support

- Connecting and convening charities, decisions makers and citizens to work together to change health and care for good.

Our five-year strategy:

In September 2024 we published a new five-year strategy that was co-produced with our staff, our member charities, our Lived Experience Partners and our key stakeholders. This set out three clear goals:

- End unequal access
By addressing the barriers experienced by those facing the worst outcomes, we will find solutions that improve care for all.

- Transfer power to people and communities
As a leader in co-production, we will help communities to work with system leaders at national and neighbourhood level to make big decisions together. This will maximise the skills and capabilities of patients, ensuring care is truly person-centred.

- Shift the measures of success
By campaigning for better patient experience and outcomes metrics, we can ensure that what matters to people becomes the key measure of success for the NHS.

In the first two years of the strategy we have already made big strides. For example, our work encouraging the Government to focus on “getting the basics right” has seen major policy initiatives designed to fix access to primary care and the 8am rush. Similarly, our work on the experience of waiting for elective care has seen the introduction of the first ever set of minimum standards for waiting.

Our work on the 10 Year Plan, and on the Quality Strategy, has also seen both patient experience and outcome measures given much greater prominence in how the NHS judges success and National Voices has now been commissioned by NHS England to help design the future of patient feedback mechanisms.

We have also successfully campaigned for funding formulas to be revised to enable the NHS to directly address the inverse care law and tackle the impact of health inequalities head on.

But there are challenges ahead, not least the role patients and communities play directly in co-producing improvement. With ICBs under huge financial pressures, and so much change in the health and care system, we need to make sure every piece of work we deliver is of the highest quality and adds real value. This is the only way to help others across the sector understand the value that people with Lived Experience offer to problem solving processes and creating better and more inclusive solutions.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a stable, high-performing fundraising team with exceptional staff longevity. The person previously in this role was in post for 10 years, and the line manager has been with the organisation for 9 years — a real testament to the culture, leadership and support on offer.

The Partnerships Officer will manage a successful corporate portfolio worth c.£400k, made up of a strong mix of long-standing partners and new business.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing and growing an established portfolio of corporate partners

• Developing new business, with a focus on local corporate opportunities

• Building strong, long-term relationships across a mix of partnership types

• Supporting corporate-led events and wider community fundraising activity

• Working closely with fundraising and communications colleagues

• Accurately recording activity and income using a CRM

The organisation is based on a beautiful site between Teddington and Hampton Wick, offering a genuinely lovely working environment.

The team typically works 2–3 days per week in the office, with Tuesday as the anchor team day, and the remainder working from home.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in corporate fundraising or partnerships

• A track record of managing relationships and delivering income

• Strong communication and organisational skills

• A proactive, collaborative and relationship-led approach

Experience of community fundraising and events would be welcome but is not essential.

The Royal British Legion is looking for an experienced and analytical Senior Acquisition Manager to lead its mass fundraising acquisition activity and drive sustainable growth across multiple channels.

This is a senior role at the heart of RBL’s acquisition strategy, responsible for bringing new supporters into the organisation and creating the foundations for long-term engagement and income. You will lead acquisition across digital, TV, face-to-face and wider campaign activity, ensuring channels work together to deliver a consistent supporter experience. Crucially, you will ensure acquisition is designed as the first stage of an ongoing supporter journey, with clear connections into Welcome, Retention and Growth and a shared focus on building lasting relationships with supporters.

Reporting to the Head of Acquisition and Development, you will define acquisition plans, set priorities and make informed decisions about investment, performance and future growth. Working closely with colleagues across Planning, Product, Digital, Brand and Fundraising, you will use data, insight and audience understanding to identify opportunities, optimise activity and continually improve performance. You will also work closely with colleagues across the wider supporter journey to ensure acquisition activity is coordinated with what follows, creating a cohesive experience from a supporter’s first interaction with RBL onwards.

You will also lead and develop a team of Acquisition Managers and Officers, creating clarity, supporting high performance and embedding new ways of working across the team. Strong stakeholder management will be essential, as you build effective relationships across RBL and with external agencies, while constructively challenging activity to ensure it delivers against wider fundraising objectives.

The ideal candidate will bring significant experience of developing mass fundraising or marketing strategies at scale, strong analytical and commercial skills, and a proven track record of managing teams in complex organisations. You will be confident working with substantial budgets, using data to inform decisions and translating organisational strategy into clear plans and objectives for your team.
