The role would suit someone with strong leadership qualities who will be excited and willing to contribute to our wider leadership team and can build strong relationships across our health sector and academic partners, with compelling written communication skills and extensive experience of impact evaluation and grants governance.

In line with the charity’s core behaviours, we value diverse backgrounds and contributions.

About RBH Charity:

Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals Charity is dedicated to improving the lives of people with serious heart and lung disease. Each year we grant around £6m to fund projects at our partner hospitals, including current initiatives such as:

• Equipping Royal Brompton Hospital with a high specification genetic sequencer to screen and plan treatment for patients and their families
• Creating a new consultant fellowship in imaging related to structural heart disease
• Providing core funding for the rb&hArts programme combining improvements to the hospital environment with therapeutic activities such as Singing for Breathing
• Supporting three fellowships annually to support allied health professionals in pursuing research projects

• Committing £100,000 to a Patients’ Fund each year, to support around 40 micro-projects from palliative care ‘comfort boxes’ to better seating and new televisions on wards

Our funding comes from the fundraising efforts of thousands of supporters as well as income generated by our investments in property and equity markets.

We have a small, committed and skilled team (29 in 2024/25), with expertise across fundraising, marketing, HR, property management, grant-making and financial management.

We are committed to – and hold ourselves and each other to account for – the following core behaviours:

· Setting ourselves challenging goals, in order to achieve more for the charity’s beneficiaries

· Working as one team, sharing information and ideas, and valuing our diverse range of backgrounds and contributions

· Solving problems, using our resources, our networks and our creativity to provide a better service

· Creating opportunities to learn, and supporting each other to grow

· Enjoying our work, celebrating our successes and finding time to have fun as a team

At Thrive, we work with people to improve their physical, social and emotional health through gardening. We primarily work with people with disabilities and health conditions. We deliver face-to-face Social and Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) programmes and we are the leading Social and Therapeutic Horticulture training provider in the UK, helping organisations, health and social care professionals and teachers deliver STH. We also provide free resources that help people garden at home, reducing the risk of poor health, and helping people to garden with specific long-term health conditions or disabilities.

Established in 1979, we are an independent charity, funded by donations, trusts and grants, and services paid for by local authorities. We employ 50 staff, supported by 200 volunteers, across our three centres at Reading, Birmingham and London.   

This role is based at our centre in Beech Hill, nr. Reading and visits to our other centres will be required. We offer flexible working arrangements, including some homeworking, please do get in touch to discuss.

About the role:

As well as working with our managed service provider to ensure the efficient day-to-day operation of our IT systems and processes, this role will play a key part in the successful delivery of IT projects (including network migration).

Initially, a significant part of the role will be to manage the migration of our on-premises network to the cloud. This will involve cross-team working to establish site structure and access. An overlapping project will be the implementation of VOIP telephony.

Working across the organisation, with non-technical staff, you will ensure that our IT infrastructure supports and enhances our charitable delivery. 

To succeed in this role, you will have excellent technical knowledge (particularly in Microsoft 365, integrations and CRM platforms) and experience in the IT function of an SME organisation (ideally one with multiple functions and different geographical locations). You will have demonstrable experience of identifying and delivering operational efficiencies.

Appointment to this post will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service check. Thrive complies fully with the DBS Code of Practice. Having a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an individual from working for Thrive.

Collaborating with the Rehabilitation, Trainer, and Behaviour Advisor (RTBA), you'll manage challenging horse behaviours to support successful home placements.

Client-focused and decisive, you handle pressure well and challenge risk-averse decisions using evidence-based methods. You follow set processes, adapt to new methods, and aim to improve horse welfare by maintaining high standards in the adoption process. 

Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential. You remain professional and approachable, handling difficult situations calmly. You are open-minded, adaptable, and able to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues. 

Your skills allow you to assess support levels for horses and borrowers, identifying and addressing underlying issues. You support borrowers in maintaining high welfare standards. 

Trustworthy and proactive, you approach your work enthusiastically. Your problem-solving mindset helps you find solutions and prioritize decisions with attention to detail. 

Resilient and emotionally intelligent, you support clients and colleagues empathetically. Motivated, flexible, and dependable, you provide exceptional service to Blue Cross horses and customers, managing your workload effectively both independently and as part of a team.
