600,000 people have epilepsy in the UK - that is about one in every 100. For anyone with epilepsy, having seizures, the fear of having seizures, and their unpredictability, impacts upon all areas of life, including education, employment, driving, leisure, safety and personal relationships.

Epilepsy Society wants everyone affected by epilepsy to have the best opportunity for a full life – as free from seizures as possible. The Charity’s mission is: To enhance the quality of life of people affected by epilepsy by promoting public awareness and education, by undertaking research and by delivering specialist medical care and support services. The Charity was started in 1892 over 125 years ago.

The role will include developing and implementing a strategy for major donors, corporate and trusts fundraising, managing an existing portfolio of partnerships and winning new business.  The Epilepsy Society’s research is world renowned and its partnerships with UCL and UCLH give great appeal to those willing to invest in cutting edge, world leading epilepsy research. You will line manage the Trusts & Foundations Officer and there is the opportunity to grow the Philanthropy team if potential net income in these areas can be realised.

You will have excellent relationship building and communications skills and the ability to develop long term strategic partnerships.
