Role purpose and scope
Sight Research UK began life as theNational Eye Research Centre, founded in 1986 by David Easty MD FRCS, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Bristol and Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Bristol Eye Hospital.
The charity began as a Bristol-based research centre, focusing on projects to improve treatment for corneal eye conditions, enabling the establishment of the UK’s first Corneal Transplant Service.
The charity grew out of the generosity of the many eye hospital patients in Professor Easty’s care, who were keen to support research for new treatments. As donations grew over time, we began to support research across the UK in leading ophthalmology centres within universities and hospitals, covering all eye conditions in children and adults.
Since we were founded, we have invested nearly £18 million in research projects that bring scientists ever closer to answering some of the most fundamental questions about eye health and how eye disease develops.
Sight Research UK, as we are today, is committed to turning scientific discoveries in to tangible health benefits for people at risk of sight-threatening conditions, working collectively to beat sight loss and blindness forever.
Sight Research UK has ambitious plans to grow income to increase the reach and impact of our work. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser to deliver a new strategy and expand fundraising activities across key growth areas.
The successful candidate will join a small but growing team, reporting to the CEO, with the potential to grow the fundraising team in the next 24 months.
We need the help of a talented fundraiser with experience across income streams, to support the transformational growth that we are aiming to deliver.
