You’ll have the flexibility to work away from home on up to 10 week-long residential projects per year. Ideally, you’ll also have experience of leading projects for children – whether residential or non-residential.

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 and invest these vital funds at the hospital and within child health research nationally. 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.'  

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.
