5 months ago


Brighton, United Kingdom 279 University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Plans have been drawn up for Stages 2 and 3 of the 3Ts Redevelopment of the Royal Sussex County Hospital. Stage 2 is the new Sussex Cancer Centre (SCC) that will replace the Barry Building and surrounding structures and Stage 3 is the service and logistics yard that will replace the existing Cancer Centre.

A major capital appeal is being set up to support improvements to the new centre beyond what is available through standard NHS funding.

**The Capital Appeal will run in three phases**:
**Phase 1**: Planning Phase

**Phase 2**: Private (Quiet) Phase

**Phase 3**: Public Phase.

The Planning Phase is crucial to ensure we have the best foundation in place for a successful appeal. During the Private/Quiet Phase, the incumbent will secure income and pledges from charitable trusts, charity partners, high-net worth donors and prospects plus corporate partners.

During the Public Phase the appeal will be widened to include community fundraising, direct response campaigns and dedicated events reaching the whole of the catchment area audience, staff, past and current patients and their families, as well as continuing work securing support from charity partners, trusts, HNW individuals and corporates.

The wider capital development programme will also require charity input over time. The post holder will be expected to advise the charity on support for this programme, for instance, the acute floor reconfiguration at the Royal Sussex County Hospital and the new stroke unit at St Richard’s Hospital.

Lead the Capital Appeal for Sussex Cancer Centre’s £170m redevelopment project to build a new Cancer Centre. Within the charity, the post holder will work closely with the Director, the Head of Fund Raising and Communication as well as the current communications and fundraising team to ensure a co-ordinated and cohesive approach to raising the required Capital funds.
