Our charity is on an incredible journey and this is a hugely exciting time to join our team.

2020 saw the UK come together in an outpouring of love and support for the NHS. As the NHS’ national charity and membership organisation for the NHS’ official charities throughout the UK, NHS Charities Together is the central charity receiving additional funding and support for our National Health Service where and when it needs it most. Thanks to phenomenal public support, our national Covid-19 Appeal has raised more than £150 million to help NHS staff, volunteers and patients through the immediate and long-term effects of coronavirus. 

We are now recruiting a brand-new Head of Mass Participation to develop a portfolio of mass participation fundraising campaigns.

The Head of Mass Participation is a pivotal new role within the Fundraising Directorate responsible for developing and delivering a successful portfolio of mass participation fundraising campaigns such as our flagship campaign, the NHS Big Tea.

Coming from a background working in strategic leadership roles, the successful candidate will have experience of managing mass participation virtual events and creating new products. You will be an innovative thinker with the ability to review our existing supporter base, analyse the market environment and identify opportunities for supporter acquisition, engagement and retention.

If you are passionate about the health and wellbeing of our nation, and believe that through supporting NHS charities we can significantly increase the vital support given to our hospitals, community, mental health and ambulance services, we would love to hear from you.
