About Us

NHS Charities Together is the national charity for the NHS, here for everyone who uses and works in the NHS -now and for generations to come.

Working with a network of over 220 local and specialist NHS charities in every NHS Trust and Health Board across the UK, we’re driving the things that matter to help transform the NHS and deliver the best health and care for everyone.

Always a membership organisation at heart, NHS Charities Together has undergone significant transformation since the COVID-19 pandemic, evolving from a crisis-response fundraising body into a national charity and a grant giver. The COVID-19 Urgent Appeal catalysed unprecedented public and philanthropic support, leading to the creation of a structured senior leadership team and a new development directorate.

As we move beyond our COVID-19 legacy, we are redefining our mission : to unite every voice to build a new era of NHS healthcare, enabling the NHS to deliver the best care in the world. This requires a strategic shift to a unified approach focused on sector mobilisation, sustainable income, and transformational impact.

The Director of Development will lead this change. This is not traditional fundraising - it’s about creating sustainable income models, mobilising the sector, and unlocking transformational giving.

We are looking for someone who is :

Commercially astute, with experience in wealth management, consultancy, or large-scale philanthropy.

Entrepreneurial, with a track record of building income-generating models and strategic partnerships.

Skilled at engaging senior stakeholders across government, healthcare, and philanthropy.

Comfortable navigating complex systems and balancing mission-driven purpose with business pragmatism.

Experience in the NHS or healthcare charity sector is not essential, but the ability to speak the language of government, policy, and commercial growth is critical.
