Head of Fundraising
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity
£55,000-£60,000 | Full-time, hybrid | Stanmore & Central London

Every day at RNOH, lives get rebuilt; staff at the hospital treat spinal cord injuries, bone cancer, and carry out complex joint reconstruction. We are the UK's leading specialist orthopaedic hospital, and our charity exists to fund the equipment, research, and rehabilitation that push patient care beyond what the NHS alone can offer.

Now we're looking for a Head of Fundraising who wants to build something, not just manage it.

Why now

Having recently completed a full fundraising review, the groundwork is now laid for future income growth. We have mapped donor journeys and embedded KPI and ROI reporting embedded across the team. What's missing is someone to take the baton and run.

You'll join as a major campaign is moving toward launch, backed by a completed feasibility study and serious clinical sponsorship, plus an ongoing capital appeal for the hospital's Mako robotic arm. This isn't a blank page; it's a campaign ready to be brought to life by the right person.

What we're looking for

Someone who genuinely loves philanthropy fundraising, who's energised by building relationships with major donors, not just managing a team that does. Strategic enough to shape where the charity goes next; hands-on enough to be in the room making the ask.

You'll lead a small team of four, working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Management Team, and operate in a genuinely collaborative partnership with the hospital. You'll be comfortable navigating complex internal stakeholder relationships, influencing senior colleagues, and resilience and an entrepreneurial instinct will go a long way.

What you'll need

• A track record of personally securing major gifts and building long-term donor relationships

• Experience developing (not just delivering) a fundraising strategy, ideally in a small team

• A good working understanding of digital and data-led fundraising; you don't need to be the expert, just know what good looks like

• Resilience, tenacity, and the appetite to spot and chase opportunities rather than wait for permission

Benefits include

• 33 days' annual leave, including eight bank holidays

• Nest pension scheme 5% employer and 5% employee

• Reduced gym membership (on site gym and swimming pool)

• Subsidised staff restaurant

• Occupational health. Assessment of eligibility for in-house physiotherapy

• Free of charge shuttlebus service between the hospital and Stanmore Underground station for both staff

• Free parking onsite

The opportunity:

This is a senior role with responsibility for the strategic direction, quality and impact of We Belong’s youth development portfolio. Reporting to the CEO and working as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will lead programmes spanning early intervention, educational attainment, further and higher education, employability, skills development, youth leadership and progression into positive opportunities.

You will oversee the Let Us Learn Programme, Emerging Young Leaders Programme, Schools Excellence Programme and Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Bronze programme. You will also strengthen young people’s influence within We Belong through the Core Group, ensuring that lived experience informs organisational priorities and programme development.

The Context:

Following the landmark Supreme Court judgment in the Tigere case, which helped secure fairer access to higher education for young migrants, We Belong has continued working to ensure that young people can progress into higher education. This has included successful campaigning to increase scholarship opportunities and building strong relationships with educational institutions across the UK.

However, more work is needed. Young migrants can experience significant barriers to educational attainment, further and higher education, employment and personal development because of their immigration status.

These barriers can arise long before a young person reaches the point of applying to university, beginning an apprenticeship or entering employment. We recognise that university is not the only pathway to success and that young people should be supported to explore a range of routes that reflect their ambitions, strengths and circumstances.

Early intervention is therefore essential to ensure that young migrants understand their rights, receive accurate information and appropriate support, and are able to make informed decisions about their education, training, employment and future.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young people, supporting their development and creating pathways for them to achieve their ambitions.

If successful, the applicant will be joining an award-winning youth charity and a staff team dedicated to improving outcomes for young migrants between the ages of 16-25 years old and empowering young people to create change.

You'll bring hands-on experience and strategic thinking when it comes to managing social media accounts for a brand, charity or values-led organisation, along with a strong understanding of what works across different platforms. You'll enjoy working at pace, balancing BAU activity with reactive comms, and using data and insight to continually improve your work.
