BACKGROUND

Theatre director Michael Grandage CBE established MGCfutures as a charity in 2013 with the royalties from his first independent West End season.

Having transitioned mid-career from actor to director Michael is acutely aware of the obstacles and hardships that can prevent creative artists and technicians from achieving their true potential.

Since 2016 the charity’s primary focus has been its innovative bursary programme supporting career development across the theatre industry – from writers, directors and producers to costume designers, theatrical milliners and stage carpenters.

MGCfutures provides vital bridging support for theatre makers who reach a crucial stage in their chosen career.

The current Director, Andrew Broadley, is stepping down to pursue personal projects after seven years in the role. During his time with the charity there have been a total of 141 bursary awards amounting to more than £500,000.

As the programme continues to grow so does the charity’s need for funds.

The new Chair, Lady Lowy Mitchell (appointed in 2023) is committed to increasing the charity’s income and has considerable experience of fundraising and development. She intends to work closely with the incoming Director to achieve a minimum of £150,000 raised year on year.

About The Role
This is a varied and exciting communications role which sits in the fast-paced High Value Operations team in the Income and Engagement directorate. In the role, you’ll work closely with colleagues across the High Value Fundraising teams and beyond to lead on writing high value funding proposals, impact reports, event collateral and other impact focussed donor communications (£100,000+). You’ll be working collaboratively with teams across the organisation to gather the information you need to demonstrate impact for our donors – including major donors, trusts and corporate partners.
Working to briefs provided by fundraising relationship managers, you’ll use your knowledge of the organisation to create compelling and emotive narratives tailored to the donor, putting the stories of people affected by dementia at the heart of your proposals and reports. Your written work will engage supporters and encourage donations towards projects being delivered across Alzheimer’s Society. In the role, you’ll also review the written work of colleagues and feedback about how they can be strengthened in line with a set of quality principles.
Impact Comms is a close-knit, dynamic, virtual team who have the opportunity to get together face to face at least once a quarter. You’ll work closely alongside one other Impact Communications Officer and the two Managers in Impact Communications. And as part of the wider High Value Operations team, you’ll be empowering fundraising teams to deliver a first-class experience to their supporters.
You will:

- Have a proven track record in producing high-quality written communications, ideally for a fundraising audience.
- Have experience in making complex information engaging and accessible for different audiences.
- Have a problem-solving approach and be comfortable working in a busy team where no two weeks are the same.
- Confidently work with stakeholders across the Society to provide a high quality, seamless experience for our supporters
- Expertly create exciting, bespoke high-value (£100,000+) proposals that secure major donations, and demonstrating the impact of these donations through tailored, compelling reports that inspire future support.

About you
You are:

- A strategic thinker with a passion for creative writing who is able to juggle multiple projects at once
- Able to communicate, particularly in writing, compellingly, persuasively and credibly with a range of audiences
- Able to adapt and present complex information accurately, clearly and succinctly
- Able to manage several projects proactively and simultaneously: setting priorities, solving problems, working collaboratively, and meeting agreed standards and deadlines

A broad existing knowledge of the UK voluntary sector is required, while knowledge of working with high value audiences (charitable trusts, corporate partners and major donors) would be beneficial to the role, but not essential. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is looking to develop their communications skills and their understanding of High-Value fundraising and donor communications more widely, as you’ll get the opportunity to take a creative lead on a huge range of written comms within a supportive and collaborative team
If in doubt, please contact the Talent Acquisition Team for further support.
