Fundraising

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

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
