Senior Development Manager (Fundraising)

Are you a creative, collaborative and forward-thinking fundraiser, who can help the National Youth Choir grow our support and share inspirational music-making with even more young people and audiences? 

The National Youth Choir is looking to appoint a Senior Development Manager. Working within our Development Team and the wider National Youth Choir community, the successful candidate will lead on our Trust, Foundation and Corporate fundraising streams, including a highly successful portfolio of established funders and identifying and developing new relationships. As part of this role you will manage the cultivation strategy to proactively inspire and engage funders, enhance their engagement with the National Youth Choir and support us to develop sustainable income streams. 

Primarily you'll have a strong track record in fundraising from Trusts and Foundations and some experience in corporate fundraising. You’ll also be confident in undertaking prospect research and tracking these through the use of a CRM system (ideally Access/ThankQ).

You may already have an interest in choral singing, music or creative opportunities for young people – or you may bring transferable expertise and ideas from a relevant field and be enthusiastic about using these to contribute to our vision and mission.

We want to be a relevant and more representative organisation. We welcome applications from all sections of the community and from across the UK, and particularly from applicants who are from groups currently underrepresented in our workforce. This includes candidates from Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse backgrounds, or who identify as D/deaf or disabled.

• Salary: £37,000 per annum
• Hours: 35 hours per week (full-time)
• Location: Flexible (national) – the post-holder can be based remotely from home, or can work from our Durham office, with travel to activities, events and meetings across the UK
