Job overview
Since 1999, RUHX has had an unwavering commitment to excellence that has extended beyond NHS budgets, supporting the RUH and community healthcare. We have gone further to give every patient the extra extraordinary care they deserve while supporting our staff to do what they do best and furthering innovation within our hospitals. We’re out there in our community, collaborating with the people and organisations that drive real change. And we’re making sure that every penny we raise goes towards improving health, happiness, and well-being for everyone in our community.
Every day on our team is a unique experience, offering a flexible work environment. We believe in a balanced approach, with equal time spent working from home, in the office, and engaging with our community.
Our track record speaks volumes, evidenced by £10m raised for the Dyson Cancer Centre, which opened in April 2024, the introduction of Robotic Surgery in 2023 following a £2.3m campaign, £1m+ for the Breast Unit expansion in 2022 and many other projects. We have numerous other initiatives on the horizon—this is an exciting time to join the team.
Main duties of the job
As our first Head of Development, you’ll have many opportunities to build and lead your team, make your mark, and have the freedom to try new ideas. You will also be supported by a culture that encourages learning and being positively disruptive.
You’ll build relationships with donors who give between £25,000 and £1m+. You’ll identify ways for them to engage with their hospital, ensuring that the partnership meets a shared vision of success and prompts future financial support.
You will need extensive experience in fundraising, especially Philanthropy. We will help support you in growing your career in the charity sector. At the same time, you will lead an ambitious and fun team that goes further to give every patient the extra extraordinary care they deserve.
