About us

Mind in Enfield and Barnet (MiEB) is a local mental health charity, part of the Mind federation. Every week our staff and volunteers support local people through advocacy, talking therapies and counselling, crisis support, wellbeing courses, our Recovery College, and support for parents and families.

We work alongside the NHS, our two local authorities and voluntary sector partners across North Central London, with a team of around 60 staff and 60 volunteers and an annual turnover of around £2 million. Our values – Integrity, Empowerment, Compassion, Equity and Real Change – shape everything we do, from a first conversation with someone in distress to decisions in the boardroom.

Why join us now

Demand for mental health support keeps growing, and so do the expectations on local charities. Our strategy focuses on four things: being sustainable, delivering services that change lives, engaging our communities, and working with partners to change the systems that people with mental health problems rely on. As a trustee, you'll help set that direction, hold us to it, and make sure we stay well run, financially secure and true to our values.

The roles

Co-Chair, with HR and employment law expertise

You'll lead the Board in partnership with our existing Co-Chair and work closely with our Chief Executive. Together, you'll help ensure strong governance, maintain a clear focus on our charitable purpose, support and appraise the Chief Executive, and continue to build a skilled, diverse and inclusive Board.

We are therefore seeking a Co-Chair who is a highly experienced senior HR or employment law professional, with a strong track record of advising organisations at a strategic level on people, culture and workforce matters.

You may be, or have been, an HR Director, Chief People Officer, Head of Employee Relations, organisational development leader or employment lawyer.

• Sound judgement, integrity and the ability to provide supportive and constructive challenge.
• The leadership, diplomacy and collaborative style needed to co-chair effectively and build consensus.

A connection to Enfield or Barnet, and an understanding of the voluntary, community, health or mental health sectors, would be welcome.

Trustee

We'd love to hear from people who can add to the Board's mix of skills. Experience in any of these areas would be especially welcome: finance, fundraising and income generation, governance, digital and innovation, marketing and communications, service delivery and quality, or equity, diversity and inclusion.

Who we're looking for

For every role, you'll share our commitment to mental health and our values, and be able to analyse information, ask good questions and challenge constructively, while working as part of a team. We'd particularly welcome:

• people with direct or indirect lived experience of mental health problems

Help fund the future of orthopaedic care.

The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital is the UK’s leading specialist orthopaedic hospital. Its teams rebuild lives after spinal injury, bone cancer, amputation and complex joint failure, for children, adults and war veterans. RNOH Charity pays for what the NHS can’t: cutting-edge kit, research, rehabilitation and better spaces for patients and staff. It has given more than £5.5 million in grants in six years.

Now we want to grow. Income has been around £1m a year, and we’re aiming for £1.5m and beyond. A major veterans’ healthcare campaign is about to launch and we have more ambitious plans ahead linked to children’s healthcare, cancer, spinal cord injuries and therapeutic outdoor spaces.  

The groundwork is done. We’ve completed a full fundraising review, mapped donor journeys, and built KPI and ROI reporting into the team. Your job is to take it to the next level.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll set the strategy, and you’ll also be in the room with donors, making the ask. You’ll lead major gifts alongside the Chief Executive, write cases for support that make people want to give, build our legacy offer and lead a small, capable team of four. As part of the Senior Management Team, you’ll help shape where the charity goes next.

You’ll bring:

• Experience of driving growth in unrestricted fundraising income
• Proven experience of leading, developing and motivating an existing fundraising team
• A track record of personally securing major gifts and building long-term donor relationships
• Experience of writing and delivering a fundraising strategy, ideally in a small team
• A real love of relationship fundraising and confidence asking for big gifts
• Comfort using data and CRM to drive results
• The drive to spot opportunities and act on them without waiting to be asked

NHS, health or medical research experience, or legacy fundraising, would be a bonus but isn’t essential.

If you want to see exactly where your work goes, this role is for you. Every gift you secure goes straight into world-class care.

To apply: Send your CV and a supporting statement answering the three questions in the candidate pack to Philippa Randle at Charity People: philippa@charitypeople.co.uk / 07563 030588. Get in touch for a confidential chat, or if you need any adjustments to the process.

Key Dates

• Closing Date: midday Weds 18 Nov

• First round interviews: w/c 23 Nov (online)

• Final interviews: w/c 30 Nov (in person)

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability, and potential. Please inform us if you require any assistance or adjustment to help ensure the application process works for you.

What if your next Head of Fundraising role gave you the chance to rethink strategy and grow income for a world-leading specialist hospital?

The ‘League of Friends’ supports the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, funding projects and services that make a real difference to patients, staff and the wider hospital.

Now, with plans for significant growth, they’re looking for a brand-new Head of Fundraising to lead the development of innovative fundraising ambitions and build on what’s already been achieved.

Salary: £50,000-£55,000
Contract: Permanent. Full-time, part-time and reduced hours considered (37.5 hours FTE)
Location: Hybrid, with a minimum of two days a week onsite in Shropshire
Benefits: Holiday allowance, pension, wellbeing support and Blue Light discount

About the charity

The League of Friends has been supporting the hospital for decades, and it’s fair to say they get a lot done. As the Friends themselves put it, they punch above their weight.

Alongside fundraising, they run volunteer services, patient support, retail and hospitality services, plus veterans’ initiatives. Their fundraising has helped deliver projects that positively impact and improve patient experience and outcomes, from a nationally recognised, award-winning garden to investment in groundbreaking treatments.

About the role

You’ll lead the development and delivery of a new fundraising strategy, working closely with the Board and senior hospital stakeholders to agree priorities, explore opportunities and grow fundraising capacity.

As part of the senior leadership team, you’ll also help shape the wider direction of the organisation and contribute to a collaborative, supportive working culture.

This isn’t a role where you’ll be sitting back and overseeing things from a distance. Alongside the strategic work, you’ll get stuck into fundraising yourself: developing relationships with high-value funders, growing major donor income and building a strong pipeline for the future.

About you

You’re an experienced fundraising leader who can see the bigger picture, but is just as comfortable rolling your sleeves up and getting the job done.

You know how to turn strategy into sustainable income, bring people with you, and build the relationships that make fundraising successful. Just as importantly, you’ll be a visible and inspiring leader who invests in developing a high-performing team.

We’re looking for:

• Significant senior fundraising experience, with a proven ability to develop and deliver fundraising across multiple income streams.
• A strong personal track-record of securing high-value support.
• A data-informed approach, using insight and performance metrics to shape decisions and maximise growth.
• Experience leading, motivating and developing high-performing teams, creating an environment where people can thrive.
• Confidence working with Boards, Trustees and senior stakeholders, building credibility and influencing at a strategic level.

We’ll also expect you to get close to the experiences of patients and staff, understanding their stories and what really matters to them, so you can help bring that to life through fundraising.

If you’re excited by the prospect of shaping the future of a growing charity, combining strategic leadership with hands-on fundraising, and delivering meaningful impact for patients and staff, we’d love to hear from you.

To find out more, please send a copy of your CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile to Amelia Lee at Charity People as a first step.

Deadline: 9am on Friday 13^th November
