The team

We ride ourselves on being supporter focused and agile, working at the heart of the charity to deliver impact for patients and staff across our hospitals.

Responsible for attracting and retaining donors, and delivering an outstanding supporter experience, the fundraising department comprises two teams which work closely together to achieve our shared objectives:

· Our Philanthropy & Campaigns team builds relationships with individual philanthropists, trusts, foundations, corporate organisations, and intermediaries, giving or facilitating donations of £10,000 or more to the charity each year. They lead major appeal activity for the charity, currently focused on the acquisition of a new surgical robot, our forthcoming cancer campaign, our essential volunteering, complementary therapy and support services, the charity’s first patrons’ programme, and special events to support these activities.

This includes committed giving, in memory support, gifts in wills, and fundraising events and challenges. Our database and supporter care teams sit within public fundraising, with their work underpinning and supporting the entire department.

We’re on the look out for a new member of our team, a new member of our Executive Team, and someone that is going to be part a key part of this inspirational organisation, We Are Survivors. 

Could you be our new Criminal Justice Services Director?

Are you the person that wants to lead an amazing team of therapists working both outside in the community and inside prison and secure settings?

Do you want to inspire a team of ISVAs, the first male focused ISVA team in the UK to do more for those victims/survivors in the criminal justice process as the system across England and Wales is straining?

Do you, like us, think that every person has the capacity to create change and so want to be part of an organisation that is not only ground breaking but now the largest male victim/survivor organisation in the UK?

The Criminal Justice Services Directorate is an incredibly important part of our organisation, delivering services in the community and in secure settings including Prisons, with a range of individuals and groups that have all been impacted by sexual harms (including sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, or boys and men) alongside the impact on their families and friends.

Over the past 15+ years we have grown as an organisation, both physically and metaphorically, and we’re now supporting approximately 2,500 male survivors every single year across all our services in the Community Services Directorate and the Criminal Justice Services Directorate. The current state of the criminal justice system, the difficulties in the mental health system, the cost of living and other societal pressures will make the next few years both challenging and fascinating and you could get to help shape our local and regional response, along with influencing the national discussion on tackling sexual and domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and the ever-growing prison population.

This role is one that will give you the opportunity to use your:

• strategic planning skills;
• systems leadership experience;
• people management and influencing; and
• governance and performance leadership.

You’ll work with the Community Services Director and the Operations Director, and alongside the Deputy Chief Executive Officer to be part of the Executive Leadership team; whilst supporting and working with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure we make our vision a reality.

We want people to be in control of their end-of-life decisions because there is no-one better to make them. We support people to make informed choices, start honest conversations about death and dying with loved ones, and record and revisit their wishes whenever they want to.

Our nurse-led information line is a unique service, which helps to ensure people’s wishes are known and respected at the end of their lives. We do this through advance care planning and by helping people to make decisions about treatment and navigate the healthcare system. The service sits at the heart of the organisation. We listen to what people tell us and amplify their voices to drive changes to policy and healthcare practice. In 2023 we supported over 4,000 people and call volumes are increasing.

We are delighted to be expanding our clinical team and are looking for two dedicated and motivated nurses who can provide accurate, clear and practical verbal and written information and support. 

The successful candidate will have relevant clinical knowledge and experience alongside excellent communication skills, enabling them to convey complex information in a straightforward and sensitive way by phone and email. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion of a growing information service which not only delivers direct support to people, but also drives improvements in practice.
