The role
We are looking for an entrepreneurial and ambitious Business Development Manager to lead our organisational efforts around income generation. The role is ideal for someone with experience in fundraising and/or business development interested in leading the work of a small but impactful and highly respected charity in the health and social care space.
At National Voices, fundraising responsibilities are shared across the organisation, so it is important that the successful candidate is able to work in a collaborative way with others and is just as happy with rolling up their sleeves and writing bids and supporting others to.
National Voices’ is a unique organisation and so we are keen to bring on board a Business Development Manager who understands what our niche offer is and can work creatively to find funders and clients who are interested in that. We’re proud to be an organisation:

- With a strong research function, which is able to credibly and impactfully bring together the insights of people who experience health inequalities and people with long-term conditions in a way that informs and improves the practice of decision makers in the NHS and social care.
- With a skilled lived experience team, that works to develop the skills and knowledge of decision makers in health and care around co-production and co-design, and invests in the skills and agency of people with lived experience of health and care.
- With a strong focus on reducing health inequalities and a commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches to our work.
While your primary role will be raising funds for National Voices, you will need to be confident in acting as an ambassador for the organisation and in conveying who we are, what we do and the key priorities of our members and people who use health and care.

We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space. We also might ask you to meet in-person with members of your team from time to time, or to be available for face-to-face meetings with clients and partners where this enhances the work.
We assume that this would usually not amount to more than one day per fortnight for people who work full time.

So we strongly encourage people from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background, and people who live with health conditions or disability to apply. Our offices are fully accessible and we are an LGBT+ friendly employer. Men are currently underrepresented in our team so we would welcome applications from men and non-binary people.
