Because here, your work genuinely matters. Kingston Hospital Charity isn’t just another fundraising operation, it’s the driving force behind projects that transform patient care across Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust. From creating dementia friendly environments on Kingston Hospital’s care of the elderly wards to funding the introduction of robotic assisted surgery, the charity turns generosity into tangible change. They fund what the NHS isn’t able to, bringing comfort, dignity, and innovation to patients when they need it most - and they’re ambitious about scaling that impact even further.

Who We’re Looking For You have solid experience in supporter lead fundraising — and a track record of developing strategies that meet (and exceed) targets (or feel that you have the the potential to do so). You’re confident communicating with everyone from solicitors to clinicians to supporters, tailoring your message to build trust and engagement - then get in touch. People can who do well in these sort of roles come many guises and we are happy to speak to anyone. How to Apply Interviews will take place in person at Kingston Hospital in early to mid-December.
