Please note: This role is being advertised by NFP People on behalf of the organisation #INDNFP

Blackheath Halls is looking for an enthusiastic Development Manager to oversee all aspects of fundraising for our programme and building.

This role would suit someone who enjoys a wide breadth of fundraising activity, from overseeing our Friends and Patrons membership scheme, building and sustaining relationships with high level donors, to submitting funding applications for our community engagement programme.

Having been through a multi-million pound building transformation over the past ten years, Blackheath Halls has a strong track record in fundraising, but there is a huge amount of potential for a new Development Manager to build on these foundations to ensure the continued financial health of the charity.

If you would like to apply, please complete the application form and equality and diversity monitoring form available on our website. The deadline for applications is Tuesday 5 November, 9am. Interviews will be held on Friday 8 November.

We aim for our staff team to reflect the diversity of our local communities, and we encourage everyone with relevant experience who is interested in this role to apply.
