At the Royal Devon Hospitals Charity, we are dedicated to enhancing the lives of NHS patients and staff through impactful fundraising and community engagement. Our charity shops, vibrant community events, and strong local support are just the beginning. Your responsibilities will include:

•  Leading fundraising campaigns - launch and manage compelling appeals, including our current Super Theatre appeal, that inspire and engage donors.

•  Organizing memorable events - create and oversee events that bring people together to have fun, foster a sense of community and raise money for causes, close to people’s hearts.

•  Building community awareness - ensure that our community understands the Charity’s mission, what it is here to do and how to get involved.

•  Acting as an ambassador – act as an ambassador for the Charity with potential donors, grant organisations, public, patients and staff.

•  Strategic planning - think strategically to align the Charity’s resources with the priorities of the NHS Trust, supporting Trustees in making long- term and effective investment decisions.

We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, cultures, and abilities.

As an Associate Director in the Paid Media Team, you'll oversee the execution of digital advertising campaigns across clients ranging from leading UK and global charities and UN bodies, to global brands and their CSR programmes.

Switching seamlessly from a client presentation to writing an insightful analysis of campaign performance, and rolling up your sleeves to launch advertising campaigns in new platforms are no big deal for you. You’re used to spending most of your day speaking in acronyms — terms like CPA, DSP, VTR, and ROAS are a natural part of your vocabulary — and you know how to explain them to clients and colleagues. 

You will use your depth of experience to inform your work but also use your curiosity to keep ahead of the changing sector in order to ensure we’re innovating for our clients wherever possible.
