Head of Fundraising, RNOH Charity
£55,000–£60,000 | Full-time | Hybrid, 2 - 3 days a week in North and Central London

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

• 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

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Kairos Community Trust
London |  £75,000 subject to experience

Lead an organisation where community, practical support and a belief in change help people rebuild their lives.

For more than three decades, Kairos Community Trust (Kairos) has stood alongside people affected by addiction and homelessness, offering the structured services, relationships and opportunities that make recovery possible. As Chief Executive, you will lead an organisation with strong roots, committed people and a clear understanding that nobody should be defined by their past.

The opportunity

You will be joining Kairos at an important point in its journey. The organisation has a proud history, a distinctive community ethos and services that make a tangible difference. The opportunity now is to protect what makes Kairos special while bringing the confidence, vision and drive needed for its next chapter.

This role offers real breadth. You will have the space to shape strategy, strengthen financial sustainability, develop partnerships and income, support an experienced team and ensure people with lived experience have genuine voice, choice and influence. You will also work with an engaged Board that wants the next Chief Executive to bring openness to innovation, honest challenge and inclusive leadership.

For the right person, this is the chance to combine strategic leadership with meaningful human impact. You will see the difference the organisation makes and have the opportunity to extend that impact to more people.

About Kairos

Kairos began with the Kilburn Night Shelter, established in 1988 to support people experiencing homelessness. Its early development brought together people from different Christian traditions. As the work developed, a stronger focus on the need for recovery, rehabilitation and supported housing emerged. Founded in 1991, it became Kairos Community Trust in 1994.

Today, Kairos is an independent and inclusive charity. People of all faiths and none are welcomed. What unites the organisation is a shared commitment to dignity, recovery, mutual care and the belief that change is possible.  This focus, alongside its organic historic development, is the foundation of its ethos.

The Board and staff team include people with a range of religious beliefs and non-religious worldviews, alongside varied cultural backgrounds and lived experiences. This breadth of perspective strengthens Kairos and supports informed, compassionate decision making.

The role

As Chief Executive, you will be accountable to the Board for the leadership, performance and long-term sustainability of Kairos. You will be visible and approachable, equally comfortable discussing strategy with trustees and funders, supporting colleagues across services and listening carefully to the people Kairos exists to serve.
•    Provide inclusive strategic leadership and clear organisational direction, translating strategy into practical priorities and measurable impact.
•    Provide clear, inclusive and supportive leadership and line management, nurturing an inclusive culture in which colleagues and volunteers can contribute, learn and thrive.
•    Develop sustainable funding and responsible income opportunities, maintaining proportionate financial controls and supporting long-term organisational sustainability.
•    Build trusted relationships with funders, partners and the wider community.
•    Ensure that services are safe, effective, financially sustainable and shaped around the rights, aspirations and outcomes of the people we support.
•    Provide the Board with timely advice, clear reporting and support for effective governance.
•    Raise the profile and influence of Kairos across statutory, voluntary and community sectors.
•    Oversee development and maintenance of the charity’s housing stock.
•    Work with managers in the application of relevant legislation and regulation.

The person we are looking for

You will be an experienced, thoughtful and compassionate leader who combines strategic leadership with sound operational oversight. Substantial experience of strategic or senior leadership in a relevant environment, such as a charity, social enterprise, housing, homelessness, recovery, health, social care or community organisation. Evidence may have been gained through different professional or community routes.

You do not need to have followed one particular career path. Experience in homelessness, addiction, housing, health, social care or community services would be valuable, but we are equally interested in the quality and transferability of your leadership skills. What matters is that you can demonstrate:
•    Strategic and operational leadership in a complex, purpose led organisation.
•    Strong financial judgement and the ability to support long-term organisational sustainability.
•    Experience of leading and developing people through change.
•    The confidence to build relationships, influence others and create opportunities.
•    A collaborative approach to governance and a constructive relationship with a Board.
•    A genuine commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and valuing lived experience.
•    A credible, reflective and accountable leader who invites challenge and learns from feedback.

Salary and package

Salary: £75,000 subject to experience
Access to a company car or alternative travel arrangements will be considered where appropriate.
Annual leave in accordance with organisational policy. Pension scheme: Kairos Community Trust contributes 3% when the employee contributes 5%.
