What it’s like to work here
At Nottingham Hospitals Charity, we take great pride in our passionate and dedicated team. Working closely together on fundraising Appeals, approving grants and telling the stories of how support from our donors has made a difference, it’s a fast-paced and challenging environment but it is also a hugely rewarding place to work.Our team is made up of three professional departments, who work closely together:
- Fundraising – this team leads our efforts in raising money for Nottingham’s NHS hospitals. Working with patients and their loved ones who have been treated here, schools and other community groups, and local businesses on the doorstep of our hospitals, our fundraising team collectively raises around £4million a year for vital enhancements to patient care in Nottingham.
- Finance – an incredibly important team of people, who work behind the scenes on making sure your donations go to where it is most needed. This includes approving and managing grant applications from NUH staff and dealing with thousands of donations from cheques, cash and online transactions.
- Communications – responsible for sharing our latest news, heart-felt patient stories and exciting fundraiser updates. The communications team showcases Nottingham Hospitals Charity and the impact your support has made, through local media, written content such as magazines and letters, and online, through our website, social media channels and email.
