Join as our Executive Director of Charities

Health inequalities are widening, demand on the NHS is rising, and the need for bold, creative support has never been greater. That’s why our three NHS charities - Guy’s & St Thomas’ Charity, Guy’s Cancer Charity and Evelina London Children’s Charity - exist: to provide the resources, innovation and care that go beyond what the NHS alone can deliver.

As our new Executive Director of Charities, you’ll lead the next chapter for these charities - setting clear strategy, building fundraising strength, and empowering a talented team. You’ll grow income, forge influential partnerships, and inspire supporters to back pioneering projects that enhance patient care, improve staff wellbeing and create healthier futures for the communities we serve.
