Philanthropy Lead

We are looking for an experienced major donor specialist to join the Charity during an exciting time of growth. We have a major capital appeal underway for a significant redevelopment of our oldest and largest Ronald McDonald House at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. We are looking for a strong relational fundraiser to drive engagement with high-net-worth individuals with the ability to secure transformational six and seven figure gifts.

This will be the Charity’s first dedicated major giving role and we are seeking someone who has helped with the creation of an Appeal Board and who is confident in engaging at CEO and Board level.

Two-year fixed-term contract, up to full time, 28-35 hours a week.

This role will require travel within the UK, particularly to Ronald McDonald House Alder Hey.

Since 1989 the Charity has been supporting families with children in hospital. This is an exciting time to join the Charity, as we celebrate 35 years of providing accommodation and support for families at such a traumatic time in their lives.

Ronald McDonald House Charities UK provides free “home away from home” accommodation for the families of sick children who are being treated in hospital. Our support helps ease financial worry, reduces the stresses of travel, keeps families together and ensures family stability is maintained during a very difficult time. It makes a very positive, real and tangible difference to the families of sick children across the UK.
