The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. We ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world.

From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground-breaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, we will never stop looking for ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

We are a very ambitious organisation which has gone through transformational growth over the past five years. Alongside funding an existing programme of world-leading research, treatment and care, the Charity completed its largest capital appeal to date, successfully raising £70 million to build the Oak Cancer Centre at the hospital’s Sutton site, which opened in summer 2023.

We have exceeded our fundraising targets, over the past three years, raising over £90m against a target of £83m and making over £82m in funding available to The Royal Marsden. However, with one in two of us expected to develop some form of cancer, it is essential that we go even further in our fundraising efforts to support the essential work of The Royal Marsden. Therefore, we have recently launched our most ambitious strategy yet, that will see us raising at least £215m over the 5-year period.

The Charity is committed to raising £150 million, through a major fundraising appeal, for a new major development project in Chelsea, which will launch in 2025/26. There is also an extensive portfolio of engaging projects outside of the capital appeals, that help to support all aspects of the hospital’s work to improve the lives of cancer patients.

Working for us offers you a challenging and rewarding career, as well as the chance to really improve the lives of those living with cancer. The Community Fundraising team stewards some of our most dedicated supporters, who organise events and bring their networks together to raise up to six figure sums. We build long lasting relationships with individuals as well as community groups, schools and corporate organisations to raise millions for Charity every year.

This role will play an important part in the engagement of community supporters, identifying new prospects and effectively stewarding existing supporters. You will be a high performing fundraiser with experience of delivering income growth through effective relationship management. You will be ambitious and proactive and relish the opportunity to support the Charity to achieve its ambitious goals.

The Natural History Museum is a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. They care for more than 80 million objects spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually.  They now seek a new Senior Philanthropy Manager to personally secure six and seven figure gifts.

You will work to big income targets and will mange a personal portfolio of funder accounts, managing both the Patrons Manager and Philanthropy Manager too.  Collaborating with the Special Events team and Corporate team too, you will prepare written donor proposals, donor stewardship materials and actions and will work independently to plan and implement creative strategies to increase philanthropic gifts.

The selected candidate will have an established track record in significant fundraising or income generation, with a proven track record of securing income at the six-figure-plus level. You will enjoy working within a results-oriented environment and will have demonstrated success in managing high value portfolio partners.
