This is your opportunity to make a real difference for Nottingham Hospitals Charity!

It’s a great privilege to be recruiting a Trusts and Foundations Manager to join our team based at City Hospital in Nottingham. In 2026 we celebrate our 20th Anniversary as a charity and over that time we have raised over £65 million to support our amazing local NHS hospitals. The estate has grown from QMC and City Hospital to now include the Nottingham Children's Hospital, Ropewalk House hearing centre and the National Rehabilitation Centre.

The NUH NHS Trust employs 19,000 staff who care for 1 million people locally but between 4-5 million in the East Midlands and beyond, each year. The Trust incubates several centres of excellence both within research and care, and its affiliation to the University of Nottingham’s Medical School gives the charity a unique position in the marketplace.

Earlier this year, we launched our three-year Development Strategy (2026-29) and within that we are committed to raising our income through increased investment in both Individual Giving and our Lottery. As we start to embed the strategy and new ways of working, we are looking for someone who can bring their demonstrable expertise and diverse experience in fundraising to help us realise our ambitions for the charity.

About the role

A newly created role in an ambitious and driven team, the Trusts and Foundations Manager will play a pivotal role in the success of the Development team, and charity as a whole. In line with our fundraising strategy, you will be responsible for securing new five and six-figure gifts to support some of our most impactful projects across NUH NHS Trust. Your focus will be on high-value trusts, foundations and statutory funders where appropriate.

You’ll work closely with senior leaders, clinicians and colleagues across the Charity and NHS Trust to bring compelling, high-impact projects to life, engaging new supporters and strengthening relationships with our existing donors.
