Charity Engagement and Impact Manager in317 Trustwide in317 Trustwide PUBLISHED 24 OCT 2024

Thanks to our brilliant supporters in 2023/24 Newcastle Hospitals Charity were able to provide over £7.5m in funding to over 600 different projects and initiatives. The funding provided covers a range of projects, from cutting edge medical equipment through to taking new health initiatives into the local communities.

The charity receives ideas for projects from people in wide ranging and varied roles, and the role of the Engagement and Impact Manager is at the heart of helping to generate the ideas that can make a fantastic contribution to patient experience, staff wellbeing and redressing health inequalities.

You'll play a key role in reaching out across the hospitals to encourage the submission of ideas. Once those ideas have been submitted to the charity you'll help assess them and prepare them for decision making. For those ideas which the charity is able to fund you'll provide the support to help get started, and then when the project is finished you'll work with them to understand what difference their projects have made.

If you want to be right at the forefront of implementing the funding programmes to help Newcastle Hospitals be the best that they can be - this is the role for you.
