our friendly, caring staff are there to support families when they really need it. 
Hospital can be a lonely and scary place for anyone, but especially a child. Providing

portfolio and to increase our profile particularly in the areas close to our houses.

About Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity

Every day brings new challenges at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Every day, over 750 seriously ill children from across the UK arrive for life-changing treatments. Every day, young lives hang in the balance as patients, families and staff battle the most complex illnesses. And every day, the brightest minds come together to achieve pioneering medical breakthroughs that change the lives of thousands of children – and change the world. This extraordinary hospital has always depended on charitable support to give seriously ill children the best chance to fulfil their potential. Without donations, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity can’t help fund ground-breaking research, advanced equipment, child and family support services, and the rebuilding and refurbishment of wards and medical facilities. Our staff help to raise these vital funds for the hospital. A better future for seriously ill children starts with you.
 

Along with being awarded the ‘Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023’, we were delighted to be recently awarded the 'Charity Times Fundraising Team of the Year 2023.'

A more diverse workforce will enable us to deliver even more impact and we particularly encourage applications from communities which are under-represented in the charity. This includes people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, disabled people or those with long-term conditions, LGBTQ+ communities, and those from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Further information on our EDI strategy can be found on our site. 

As a Level 2 Disability Confident Committed Employer we are more than happy to make reasonable adjustments wherever possible throughout the recruitment process. For more information on this please contact us. 

Applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis and we reserve the right to close the role prior to the closing date, should a suitable applicant be found. Therefore, you are encouraged to apply right away, to avoid disappointment.

Are you a enthusiastic and self-motivated Fundraiser with the ability to write compelling, high quality applications? Would you like to help give animals a better life?

We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated Trusts Fundraiser to contribute significantly to the development of income generation at Raystede. You will expand our existing programme of Trusts support by creating persuasive applications and undertaking effective research, with the aim of securing funding for a variety of core costs and capital projects.

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, you will have autonomy to plan your time and manage and grow the Trusts & Foundations pipeline. You will be encouraged to take an innovative approach to stewardship and be supported to continue your professional development.

About Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare

Raystede is a charity that aims to give animals a better life through rehoming, rehabilitation and sanctuary, and give people the support and knowledge they need to treat animals with care and respect. Raystede is Sussex’s biggest animal welfare charity, with nearly 70 years’ experience of caring for and rehoming animals. Uniquely, we care for a huge range of animals - from dogs, cats and donkeys to rabbits, parrots and alpacas. Our experience, expertise and partnerships enable us to deliver an exceptional quality of care for the animals we help. Many of the animals have been neglected, abused or exploited. Raystede helps most of the animals find new homes but also provides life-long sanctuary for elderly horses and other animals that cannot be rehomed. Raystede provides love and safety to those animals that would have nowhere else to go.
