Philanthropy Manager (Manchester Museum)
Job reference: PSX-026773
Salary: £45,585-£56,021 per annum, dependent on relevant experience
Location: Manchester Museum
Employment type: Fixed Term
Hours Per Week: Full Time (1 FTE)
Contract Duration: 14 months (Maternity Cover)
Right now, is Manchester’s time to shine. This year, we’re celebrating 200 years of making a difference. And we’re currently preparing to launch our first ever major fundraising and volunteering campaign.
Manchester Museum will play a key role in the campaign. The Museum – which is part of The University of Manchester – cares for over 4.5 million objects, with an internationally important collection spanning from Archaeology to Zoology. It works with communities, supports university students and schools in Manchester and beyond, and is a free, inclusive museum for all.
Since reopening after a major capital redevelopment in February 2023, Manchester Museum has gone from strength to strength. In its first year it more than doubled its visitor numbers. The Museum’s visitor base today reflects its communities and context – just under a third of visitors are under 25 and over a third are from the global majority.
As the University’s fundraising lead for Manchester Museum, you’ll be responsible for driving forward the Museum’s philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with colleagues across the Museum and our wider University fundraising team. You’ll unlock the potential of philanthropy at Manchester Museum – developing and nurturing relationships with people, networks, businesses and associations who have the ability to make significant gifts to support Museum priorities. Working closely with colleagues across the Museum and University, you’ll identify opportunities for philanthropy to play a key role in delivering the Museum’s mission. And you’ll develop creative and effective engagement, cultivation and stewardship plans that deepen prospect relationships and inspire future support.
Working in close collaboration with colleagues in areas like Trusts and Foundations, Legacies, Regular Giving, and Communications, you’ll identify opportunities to maximise fundraising income across Manchester Museum. You’ll work together to embed a culture of fundraising across the Museum – giving visitors, online audiences, supporters and friends the Museum the opportunity to play an active role in its future. You’ll also act as a key point of liaison between the Museum and the University’s fundraising team.
What you will get in return:
· Fantastic market leading Pension scheme.
· Excellent employee health and wellbeing services including an Employee Assistance Programme.
· Exceptional starting annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays.
· Additional paid closure over the Christmas period.
· Local and national discounts at a range of major retailers.

Today, Ochil Tower School is a thriving educational and residential community, where 27 children and young people, aged 8-21, with special and complex additional support needs live, learn and grow together.
The School is part of the Camphill Community which comprises 11 different Camphill sites in Scotland.
Ochil Tower School is set in seven acres of stunning Perthshire countryside. This enables its children and young adults to feel more relaxed and better able to forge relationships with peers and staff. They are then more able to build self-esteem, confidence and their capacity for resilience.
The School provides excellent care and education and is not short on ambition. In October 2018, it opened a new Life Skills Centre. This facility is for young adults aged 18 – 21 and is designed to help them so that they are better prepared for the challenges of living an independent adult life by developing their skills in learning, life and work. OTS is now focussed on extending the residential provision to 52 weeks. The Board of Trustees have a commitment to further enhancing and developing their residential houses and plans to build new educational facilities for the school.
Ochil Tower School is now looking for a Head of Care who will form a key part of the Leadership Team, working under a highly experienced and dynamic Executive Director. The Head of Care would be effective in collaborating with the education team, parents and carers and a range of other partners to meet the needs of our children and young people.
The Head of Care will liaise with members of the school community primarily but will link in with other residential schools and with other external agencies to ensure that the service remains responsive to need, is professional in approach and in line with National Care Standards, as well as Government initiatives regarding residential and day care for children and young people. The successful candidate will undertake the day-to-day strategic leadership and management of the residential team and ensure effective systems are in place for policies, procedures and monitoring. You should have significant experience of working successfully in a leadership role with proven experience of leading and supporting the development and delivery of operational strategies and associated action plans.
As well as all the skills required of a senior manager, you will need to have a commitment to and respect for the Camphill ideology.
We would emphasise that you need not be an existing Head of Care but a very experienced leader in a sizable organisation who is ready to step into strategic management.
If this sounds like you and you feel you are strongly aligned with the vision, mission and values of Ochil Tower School, we’d like to hear from you.
