Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships Fundraising

Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity has been doing great things for ten hospitals in the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) for more than 50 years.

Each year we bring joy, comfort and hope to millions of patients and 15,000 NHS staff through the work we do. From major capital builds to sensitive and calming spaces for bereaved parents. From gardening sessions for dementia patients to innovative equipment to treat cancer, we re here with full-hearted goodness from first breaths to final goodbyes and every day in-between.

It s always an exciting time to join our charity but even more so right now as we launch our ambitious new five-year strategy. We re looking for a Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships to lead the Philanthropy, Corporate and Hospital Partnership teams to achieve sustainable income growth, making even more impact for patients in our UHBW hospitals.

A strategic leader and successful fundraiser in your own right, you ll be able to lead by example, taking responsibility for your own portfolio of key contacts. You will be an excellent and inspiring leader, who can act as coach and mentor to the team at the same time as being an effective manager. You will know how to develop compelling and credible propositions, bids and pitches that bring new and repeat significant support to the table. Alongside this, you ll be experienced in delivering exceptional stewardship plans that ensure long term support and raising money for capital appeals. Above all, we re looking for someone who bring energy to this incredibly special role, have the ability to build strong connections and have a passion for their work and making a difference.

Chances are we all know someone who has needed an NHS hospital at some point in their lives or have been a patient ourselves. An individual who lives and breathes our values and behaviours and stands alongside the NHS will shine in this role. You ll talk with passion about your proven track record in delivering substantial and sustained charitable income and how you did this across a variety of sources and nd you ll know how to inspire others with your leadership, setting out a clear vision for income generation and how we implement our plan to achieve it.
