Job Details

Associate Director of Philanthropy, King’s Maudsley Partnership (KMP)

King’s College London, in partnership with the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and Maudsley Charity, is seeking an exceptional Associate Director of Philanthropy to lead fundraising efforts for the King’s Maudsley Partnership (KMP), a unique collaboration at the forefront of children and adolescent mental health research and treatment. This pivotal role offers the opportunity to drive transformative philanthropic support for the KMP, housed in the Pears Maudsley Centre for Children and Young People, opening in 2025.

The KMP brings together the clinical expertise of South London and Maudsley NHS Trust, the research excellence of King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), and the philanthropic leadership of the Maudsley Charity. With a mission to predict, prevent, and treat mental health disorders for children and young people, the KMP’s work is local, national, and global in its reach and ambition.

As Associate Director of Philanthropy, you will lead a dedicated team within the Fundraising & Supporter Development function and play a vital role in securing significant long-term investment, managing relationships with key high-net-worth donors, and supporting fundraising projects that align with KMP’s strategic priorities. You will work across a complex network of internal and external stakeholders, including academics, clinicians, and philanthropic partners, to ensure the continued growth and success of this groundbreaking initiative.

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in securing 6-8 figure gifts, leading high-performing fundraising teams, and developing impactful donor engagement strategies. You will bring exceptional leadership and strategic planning skills, along with the ability to manage competing priorities. This is a hybrid role, with a requirement to spend at least two days per week onsite at King’s or the Pears Maudsley Centre when it opens.

For further information, please visit the job description and to apply, go to the Jobs at King’s pages and submit the specified documentation. For an informal conversation, please contact Jamie Surgenor or Robyn Eade within the King’s Search Team at kings-search@kcl.ac.uk

The closing date for applications is 23.59 hrs on Monday 10th February. The selection process will include a longlisting and two-stage interview process (in March 2025), with opportunities for informal engagements with key stakeholders.

The Fundraising & Supporter Development Directorate values diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including those currently underrepresented in the sector, and offer a range of flexible and inclusive benefits to support all employees.
