Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT) is the dedicated hospital charity for Addenbrooke’s Hospital (Cambridge University Hospitals). Recently voted one of the top 100 hospitals in the world, Addenbrooke’s is a leader in the field of healthcare innovation and is recognised across the world as a pre-eminent teaching hospital. It is a centre of excellence for regional and national specialist services in cancer, paediatrics, organ transplantation, genetics and neurosciences, with patients receiving the highest standard of medical expertise.

Addenbrooke’s is embarking on a bold journey of transformation to ensure that it is fit for the future, can provide the highest possible standard of care for its patients, and continue to drive innovations that will impact people far beyond Cambridge.

As part of the first wave of transformation, two brand-new hospitals will be built: the Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital and the Cambridge Children’s Hospital. These two specialist hospitals are being designed with patients at their heart and will combine first-class clinical expertise with world-class biomedical research to transform care for cancer patients and children regionally, nationally and internationally.

To make this vision a reality, ACT is launching two ambitious multi-year, multi-million pound philanthropic campaigns to support the development of these new hospitals, both of which are presently in the private phase.

Fundraising from Trusts and Foundations is crucial as we scale up our philanthropy operation and so we are looking for an experienced trusts fundraiser who is capable of building relationships from the research phase through to long-term stewardship.

The Trusts Lead will play a vital role in maximising income from trusts and foundations by building and maintaining relationships. You will be focused on raising funds for two capital campaigns – Cambridge Cancer Research Hospital and the Cambridge Children’s Hospital – whilst continuing to drive forwards improvements in Addenbrooke’s.
