This is the perfect role for a senior fundraiser, who wants to use their skills and passion to create change in our local hospitals.
With experience of creating and nurturing relationships with major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners, your work will touch the hearts and minds of existing and new supporters and funders across Bristol, Weston and beyond. You’ll leave them with no option but to donate, sign up or join us in an exciting partnership.
Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity raises funds for all ten hospitals in the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW). Millions of patients pass through the doors each year and 15,000 NHS staff care for them.
We’re a busy, energetic charity, completely committed to bringing moments of joy, comfort and hope to those who need it most. This is the perfect role for a master communicator, who can deliver impactful and persuasive applications, appeals, pitches and presentations that create change.

If you find your heart singing when you hear about the amazing feats people undergo to improve the lives of others, or you feel inspired playing your part in improving the health and happiness of every patient cared for in our hospitals, then we think you’d better apply.

Bridge 5 Mill is a centre of social change in a historic 5 storey mill on the edge of Ancoats, comprising workspaces and event spaces. Our unique sustainable and ethical approach characterises our building and drives all our activities. Bridge 5 Mill is part of a family of organisations including the Kindling Trust, promoting ecological and social justice through a broad range of projects.
We have just secured funding to fix our broken lift. This is great news, as the period without a lift had a significant impact on our community of tenants, wider users and also therefore, on our income from venue hire (with much less events able to take place during this time). This came on the tail of the Covid pandemic, which transformed how and when people use workspaces and events spaces. The funding means we are now at a pivotal time to rebuild both our events program and our offer as a beautiful, ethical and central venue to hire, as well as exploring how to diversify our services. You will be an instrumental part in the development and growth of our activities and in overcoming these recent challenges.
We are looking for a motivated and passionate person to join our small team here at Bridge 5 Mill. You will be part of an exciting new chapter for our organisation, as we prepare for our events “relaunch”, diversify our services and begin working on exciting new development projects. As our Finance Manager, you will be an integral part of this transition, working alongside the Building Manager and Community Engagement Manager, to increase event occupancy, improve our current services and financially futureproof Bridge 5 Mill.
We are at an exciting time in the life of our organisation and there has never been a more important time for us to deliver our vision. We are looking for someone with the experience, skills and energy to help us do that.
