Frimley Health Charity is ready for its next chapter. Join us to build visibility, unlock opportunity and create lasting impact across one of the UK's largest NHS Trusts.
Location: Frimley, Surrey (with travel across sites, including community sites), minimum 3 days on site
Applications close: 9 a.m. Wednesday 15th July 2026
Who we are
Frimley Health Charity is part of Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust, working in collaboration to enhance care, improve patient and staff experiences and support innovation across our hospitals and local communities.
While core services are funded through the NHS, the charity enables us to go further, funding projects, equipment, wellbeing initiatives and improvements that make a tangible difference to patients, families and staff.
We are now entering an exciting new chapter, with significant untapped potential. With a refreshed strategy and clear ambition for the future, we are now looking for a leader who can help us realise it. This is a rare opportunity to shape what comes next, building visibility, engagement and sustainable growth while making a lasting difference to patients, staff and communities.
About the role
As Director of Charity, you will lead the next phase of the charity's development. Working closely with the Trust's senior leadership teams, Board members and staff, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across fundraising, governance, charitable expenditure, partnerships and supporter engagement.
This is not simply a fundraising role. Success will depend on your ability to build relationships, raise the charity's profile, strengthen ways of working and create momentum across the organisation.
Leading a small and high-performing team, you will balance strategic leadership with hands-on delivery. You will be comfortable rolling up your sleeves to develop new processes, drive projects forward and support day-to-day operations, ensuring the charity is well run, highly visible and positioned for sustainable growth.
You will help shape future opportunities, develop new partnerships and ensure charitable funds are invested where they can make the greatest impact. This is a role for someone who enjoys building, influencing and making things happen.
What we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced and values-led leader who combines strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will bring experience of leading people, developing income, partnerships or services, and working confidently with a wide range of stakeholders. You will be comfortable operating in a complex environment and able to balance long-term ambition with day-to-day delivery.
You will be an excellent relationship builder, capable of engaging clinicians, staff, volunteers, donors, trustees and community partners. Commercial awareness, sound judgement and the ability to identify opportunities for growth will be important.
Most importantly, you will combine confidence with humility. You will be collaborative, emotionally intelligent and able to bring people with you while creating positive change.
Experience within healthcare or NHS charities would be beneficial, but we are equally interested in hearing from candidates who can demonstrate the leadership, relationship-building and organisational development skills needed to succeed in this unique role.
Please click on the link to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you will find further information and details of how to apply.
Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Wednesday 15th July 2026.
The work of Frimley Health Charity helps to improve lives across all our hospitals for patients, staff, and visitors.
