The team

Our dynamic fundraising department generated £4.5 million through donations in 2023/2024, and we are now preparing for an ambitious multi-million-pound campaign in support of a ground-breaking cancer centre on the Royal Free Hospital site.

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.

· Our Public Fundraising team harnesses the support and energy of individuals and groups, helping them to give back in the way that works for them. 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.

Building on our achievements, our board of trustees has agreed to invest in expanding the fundraising team to develop a sustainable infrastructure that will support our growth ambitions.

Our Vision

Our vision is for everyone served by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust (RFL) to have access to world-leading healthcare, delivered by a thriving workforce, and driven by medical research that has a global impact. We support the 12,000 staff of the RFL and their 1.6 million patients across Barnet, Chase Farm and Royal Free hospitals, and more than 30 NHS services.

What we do

Through the services we provide, and the programmes and equipment we fund, we make a profound and immediate difference to patients’ experiences of care. Our volunteering, support hub, and complementary therapy teams enhance the hospital journey for all patients – whether they live locally, or come from further away to access the trust’s specialist services.

Our support of the RFL workforce enables staff to perform at their very best. Spanning individual professional development and training through to organisation wide interventions, our initiatives bolster employee resilience and mental health so staff can achieve the best outcomes for patients.

We fund ground-breaking research with the potential to change people’s lives, whether it’s through our grant programmes, commissioned research, or delivering major capital funding appeals.

Our approach

We are a solution-focused strategic partner to the RFL, helping our hospitals to go further and faster than the NHS could do alone. We believe funding decisions should be made based on strategic priority and impact, with a strong focus on working closely with staff and patients to reach a shared outcome (coproduction).

The Royal Free Charity (the charity) invests in:

· enhanced support for patients

· vital support for our staff

· ground-breaking research and innovation

· cutting-edge medical equipment

The generosity of our donors, fundraisers and volunteers enables us to do this.

Are you passionate about equality of access to education for people seeking asylum and refugees?

Access to education is transformative. The people we work with tell us that university is how they will rebuild their lives after being forced to flee conflict or persecution. Yet refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK face significant challenges in accessing higher education, including restrictive policies, limited financial support, difficulty navigating the complex university system, and a lack of adequate information and guidance.

In this role, you will empower activists, collaborate with universities, and drive sector-wide change to ensure that more refugees can access life-changing opportunities at university.

You’ll need excellent knowledge of the challenges facing refugees in the UK, particularly around access to higher education, as well as experience working in or with the higher education sector. You’ll also bring excellent communication and relationship-building skills, ideally a proven track record in policy or campaign work. Highly organised and motivated, you’ll be comfortable working independently and collaborating flexibly within a small, dynamic team.

If you’re committed to breaking down barriers to education and making a tangible difference, we’d love to hear from you.

About James’ Place

suicidal thoughts, but didn’t find it. James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. James’ Place offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment.
