About Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity
Every day, around 750 children and young people from across the UK are seen at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). At Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, we help the hospital go above and beyond for seriously ill children, enabling kinder and better treatments, bringing hope for children with the rarest and most complex illnesses, and making hospital a little bit easier and a lot more fun for the thousands of children who are treated at GOSH every year. Our staff raise vital funds to support ground-breaking research, cutting-edge medical equipment, and the creation of child-centred facilities to help save more young lives, and essential support services that help save childhoods too.
Together, we can help give seriously ill children the best chance, and the best childhood, possible. We were delighted to be named Charity Times - Charity of the Year 2024, recognising the impact of our shared mission.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that GOSH Charity and the charity sector more widely should reflect the diversity of patients, communities, and society at large. We also know that having a more diverse and inclusive workforce will make us more innovative, challenge the status quo, and enable us to deliver more impact. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. In particular, we encourage applications from those who are currently under represented within the charity sector as they may be marginalised by race and/or ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, long-term health conditions, or socioeconomic status.

As we grow our DIY sport program there are a number of areas where we see potential and have exciting plans to develop, as well as maintaining the excellent program that already exists
Within this team, you’ll be responsible for generating income for the charity from individuals and groups organising their own sport-related fundraisers. With a strong emphasis on Golf, Football and Motors, this role requires the ability to manage projects to start to finish, liaising and working closely with supporter’s, identifying their needs, exploring supporter lead opportunities and developing and maintaining supporter journeys across our DIY sport program.
This role will be expected to deliver increased income across a number of areas, through project management, supporter stewardship, attending and supporting our own events such as our annual Golf Championships and the ability to collaborate closely with our Communications and Partnerships team.
What we want from you
We’re seeking someone with knowledge and experience of working in a fundraising environment. You’ll have proven experience in donor stewardship and a clear understanding of the importance of meeting donor needs.
Exceptional communication skills and a collaborative team spirit are essential, as you’ll be engaging comfortably with key stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally. The role requires effective project management skills and the ability to oversee multiple income streams. Familiarity with Community Fundraising and sports organisations, particularly in the context of golf, would be highly beneficial. Additionally, experience working closely with fundraising supporters is desirable.
If you’re motivated by fundraising and keen to contribute to meaningful change, we would love to hear from you.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace, that represents, and can advocate for the communities we support. We stand against discrimination and prejudice, and we champion tolerance, fairness and equality in everything we do. This makes us stronger and helps us reach more people. We’re all here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.
We're committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities. This will help us create an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.

Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.
