Database Manager Jobs

The Yehudi Menuhin School based in Stoke D’Abernon, Cobham is seeking an experienced Trusts and Foundations Manager to have a significant impact on the lives of our current and future pupils.  The Yehudi Menuhin School operates a needs-blind admissions process, and we remain determined that no pupil should ever turn down a place at YMS due to a lack of funding.  More than 90% of pupils need help to take up their place, and grants from trusts and foundations are a vital source of income for our Bursary Fund, as well as a range of other projects and activities that are of direct benefit to our pupils.

You will join the Development team at an exciting time for the School.  Under new leadership and with pupil numbers at an all-time high, fundraising continues to play a crucial role in securing the future of musical education and helping to develop the next generation of classical musicians.  Our strategy is focused on reaching out to new donors, as well as continuing to engage our loyal body of current supporters, including several engaged grant-making trusts and foundations.

You will build on an existing portfolio of organisations that donate between four and six-figures.  Your ability to develop significant, multi-year relationships with new trusts and foundations will be critical to your success.  The School has also previously secured a grant from the DCMS Culture Recovery Fund, managed by the Arts Council, opening the door to possible future funding from statutory sources, which would also fall under your responsibility.  This is a key role in making The Yehudi Menuhin School’s strategic priorities a reality on the ground.  You will need to be proactive, enterprising and systematic in approaching funders, and be able to engage and manage internal stakeholders.

This is a permanent position, working 9.00am until 5.30pm 4 or 5 days per week.  Some flexibility will be required to attend evening and weekend concerts and events at YMS and in London.

The salary is competitive, based on experience.

Further information about the role can be found in the Candidate Information Pack.

If you are interested in the position and have the necessary skills and experience, please complete our application form.

The deadline for applications is Monday 14 October.

Your application form should be completed in full and submitted along with a covering letter addressed to the Head, Dr Robin Harskin.  Early applications are encouraged, and the School reserves the right to close the application process early should a suitable candidate be found.

The Yehudi Menuhin School is committed to safeguarding the welfare of children.  The School is registered with the DBS and successful applicants will be required to complete successfully the Disclosure Procedure at Enhanced level.  It is an offence for a person barred from working with children to apply for this post.

Event manager is a new role at the Progress Educational Trust (PET). It is the ideal opportunity for someone with excellent organisational skills to take PET's prestigious events to the next level.

PET provides impartial and accurate information to people affected by infertility or genetic conditions, and provides platforms for them – and relevant experts and practitioners – to discuss scientific, ethical, legal and policy developments in these areas. Key to this is PET’s programme of regular online debates and annual conference.

We have created this role to lead on the delivery of that programme of public events, working closely with PET’s Director. It’s a varied role with responsibility for event planning and delivery, marketing, sponsorship liaison, speaker management, supplier management and attendee support.

PET is a small charity with a big reputation for providing influential discussions on often challenging issues. You’ll be joining at an exciting time as we look to extend our reach, helping to improve choices for more people affected by infertility or genetic conditions.
