Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation is hiring an Events Fundraising Lead to deliver a high-impact portfolio of fundraising events, from the London Marathon and Landmarks Half to their iconic hospital abseil. You’ll bring operational rigour, creative energy and a real sense of ownership to a role that’s central to their 10-year vision.
* Job title: Events Fundraising Lead
* Location: Hybrid – 2 days/week in central London office
