We are delighted you are thinking about joining our team as Head of Partnerships and Philanthropy.

This leadership role is a key part of our strategy, and you'll be leading a small team of dedicated specialists while being part of a supportive wider team of fundraising professionals changing the conversation on bone health.

This is a leadership role, and with solid trusts, major donor, and corporate experience, both strategic and hands-on, if you would like to manage a small team, we'd love to hear from you. Overall income at the moment is £5m, which is mostly legacies, with £1m of that being the P and P income.

Osteoporosis is an underdiagnosed condition, and you could be making a very significant difference to the lives of the 3.5 million people affected by and at risk of osteoporosis.

The Royal Osteoporosis Society works to improve diagnosis and access to care for the unacceptably high number of people whose lives risk being devastated by this highly treatable condition each day. Fractures represent the fourth largest cause of disability and death.

We have been recently influencing some major policy changes and are seeking to raise further awareness and support to help more people avoid debilitating lifestyle changes, investing now in our fundraising team.

Fuelled by two national media partnerships over the past year, ROS has recently secured a commitment from all political parties for the national adoption of a 'gold standard' NHS diagnostic service by 2030, which will prevent 74,000 fractures over five years, saving over 8,000 lives.

This influencing success will ultimately increase the number of people approaching ROS for support. We have had some strong recent success in all three areas of Trusts, Corporate, and Major Donor income, and with your help, we are looking to build on this, funding significant projects that will make a step change in our reach and impact to meet the urgent and growing need.

Linked to the low public awareness of the condition, ROS's voluntary income had been static for far too long. We've now increased our fundraised income by 50% over the last three years and have the ambition to transform our income further to meet the urgent and growing need for our services.

You would have responsibility for diversifying, developing, and driving ROS's high-value funding and partnerships to generate restricted and unrestricted income and in-kind value for the charity, primarily through grant-giving trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, and major donors while we are also seeking to understand the market for commercial income streams.

Working with the stakeholders across the charity, you would also support the development of new charitable programmes so that their sustainable funding is central to their design from the outset.

The Head of Partnerships & Philanthropy reports directly to the Director of Income and Engagement and is part of the wider Leadership Team.

Investment in our people is of paramount importance to ROS, and from day one, you will have access to what is needed to support your personal and professional development, ensuring you have the skills and support to lead and grow with the role. You will also have the ability and backing to grow your team and investment as we build and diversify ROS's income.

In 2024, 100% of colleagues told us that 95% were proud to work for the charity (charity benchmark 91%), and 87% would recommend working for the charity (77% charity benchmark).

In 2023, the Royal Osteoporosis Society won three Third Sector Award categories for Best Charity, Best Marketing Campaign, and Financial Excellence.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment, encouraging applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We are dedicated to a welcoming and supportive application process and employment.

Application is by CV in the first instance, and for questions, thoughts, and a full pack, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Charlotte Wilmot, Director, Eardley Wilmot. The deadline for this position is rolling, and we are reviewing applications as we receive them.

Thank you so much once again, and we very much look forward to hearing from you!
