Job description

Head of Development & Engagement 

£50,000 per annum

Full-time. Permanent 

Based: Hybrid/Victoria Place, Woking 

Are you an ambitious and creative development/fundraising professional? 

Are you passionate about the performing arts and their power to transform opportunities for individuals? 

Do you see the performing arts as a force for cultural and social progress? 

Would you relish the opportunity to develop and grow a new fundraising programme with a focus on scholarships? 

Founded in 1911, our Client has an outstanding reputation for performing arts training and a roster of illustrious alumnx from Noel Coward to Bonnie Langford, Pixie Lott and Layton Williams.  In September 2022 our Client relocated from its three historic sites to one brand new purpose-built campus in central Woking. Bringing its 650 students, 140 staff and Sessional Tutors and 15 courses together under one roof for the very first time was a hugely exciting step and the institution has gone from strength to strength since then. 

As a lynchpin in its strategic vision, our Client is seeking its first Head of Development & Engagement.  The purpose of the role is to deliver a step-change in provision of scholarships and bursaries in support of its aim to build on its rich heritage to become the most inclusive performing arts institution in the UK. 

To succeed in the role, you'll be an ambitious and creative Development professional with the drive and experience to develop and grow our Client's first ever fundraising programme. Through your vision and influencing skills, you'll bring colleagues with you and engage a wide range of potential supporters, from individuals, artists and influencers, as well as charitable trusts and companies.

Your strong grasp of individual philanthropy/major donor and trust and foundation fundraising and your determination to make a long-lasting difference through the impact of your work will be instrumental to your success in the post.  This will be an exciting and career-enhancing role with the opportunity to shape and deliver the case for support and develop inspiring propositions for fundraising as well as cultivation and stewardship plans for this vibrant and exciting institution. 

Along with your fundraising expertise, you'll have a proactive approach and excellent organisational and administrative skills. Naturally, you'll love the performing arts and be willing to get stuck in as part of a small, friendly team and be an all-round communicator - articulate, open, collaborative and a pleasure to work with. 

We look forward to hearing from you if this sounds like a challenge that would inspire you. 

To apply, please submit a CV in the first instance to Femke Vorstman at Prospect Us. If your experience is suitable you will receive the full job pack and a call or meeting will be arranged to brief you on the role, ensuring you have all of the information needed to formally apply.

The closing date for applications is: Monday 5 May 2025. First-round interviews will take place in w/c 12 May 2025. 

Candidates must have the right to work in the UK. 

Our Client espouse a business culture where decisions and ideas from all people help them innovate, grow, and create the best environment for their students and staff and ensure they stay relevant in a rapidly changing world. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion matters at the organisation. They foster a working environment where they value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all their employees to thrive and achieve their full potential. They try to embed an inclusive mindset in everything they do. 

We positively encourage applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, gender, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, or religion or belief. As part of its drive to improve representation within its staff team, our Client would particularly welcome interest from Global Majority and LGBTQI+ applicants.
