Charity People is thrilled to be working with Latymer Foundation in the recruitment for a Fundraising Manager. The person in this role will be a pivotal member of a brilliant development team.

Job Title: Fundraising Manager
Location: Hammersmith, London - 3-4 days a week in the office during term time and full time working from home during school holidays
Contract: Permanent and full time - 37.5-hour week, Flexible working hours between 08.00 - 19.00 Monday - Friday
Salary: £45K

About the organisation

2024 marks a hugely important milestone for the Latymer Foundation - its their 400th anniversary!

The Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith was established in 1624 by Edward Latymer, a lawyer and local landowner, with the aim of offering financial support to eight children living in the area, providing them with clothes and giving them an education. An education which would not otherwise have been possible for them to access.

Today, the Foundation runs Latymer Upper and Prep School and one of its main aims is to provide bursaries (financial support for school fees) to as many local children as possible, ensuring that any promising and talented child can access a first-class Latymer education, regardless of their family's financial situation.

As of September 2023, the Foundation is supporting bursaries for 1 in every 5 students at Latymer Upper School, and is aiming to increase this to 1 in 4 students by 2024.

The Role

Reporting to the Director of Development, the Fundraising Manager is a key member of a sector leading development team. Latymer's bursary programme is one of the most successful in any UK independent school. Since 2002, the number of pupils receiving means tested support has grown from just 7 to more than 280 as of September 2023, the majority of whom receive between 75-100% fee remission.

This growth has only been possible thanks to philanthropy through the Latymer community: parents, alumni, Governors, staff, and students.

The Fundraising Manager is at the heart of the community fundraising, focussing on the full cycle of cultivation, solicitation and stewardship

Responsibilities:

* Develop and deliver the strategy and tactics to increase giving and participation in support of our annual bursaries appeals (including Upper School and Prep) using a range of channels and touchpoints (e.g. DM, digital, phone campaign, events, face to face)
