As East London's oldest healthcare charity, Barts has been at the forefront of advancing healthcare for hundreds of years. The hospitals we support strive to provide excellent patient care. Yet too many people's lives in East London are affected by ill health.

As the dedicated charity for Barts Health NHS Trust, we support St Bartholomew's, Whipps Cross, Newham, The Royal London and Mile End hospitals. We're also partnered with the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London and the School of Health & Medical Sciences at City, St George's, where we fund world-leading medical research.

Together with our partners and supporters, we make better healthcare possible. We invest in inspiring people and projects that have the greatest impact on the health and lives of local people. And as our local community is one of the most diverse places to call home (2.5 million people from 97 nationalities), what makes a difference in East London has the potential to touch lives across the world.

We are entering a dynamic period of growth, having recently brought our Fundraising and Marketing & Communications teams together under a new directorate. With ambitious plans to grow income to c£5m-£10m per year, we are seeking a new Head of Fundraising to lead the strategic direction and operational delivery of fundraising to enable this growth.

This is a strategic, forward-looking role at the heart of our fundraising and marketing function. As Head of Fundraising, you will oversee the effective delivery of fundraising activity and lead the team through a period of continued growth and development.

The role will:

• Lead major gifts, public fundraising, community fundraising and challenge events to deliver ambitious income targets.
• Build strong relationships with hospital leadership, major donors, supporters and senior volunteers.
• Work closely with Marketing & Communications and Funding & Impact teams to deliver joined up fundraising strategies.
• Develop team capability and performance, embedding best practice, strong governance and a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

As a newly created role, this is an exciting chance to work closely with the Director of Fundraising & Communications to drive income growth and build strong supporter relationships. This role ensures integrated fundraising strategies that advance our mission to improve health in East London and beyond.
