supportive community where every student is encouraged to pursue their passions and develop
the skills they need for future success.

Development will lead the Alumnae and Development team and further broaden relations with
a network of friends, supporters and stakeholders, both nationally and internationally.

The successful candidate will be educated to degree level or equivalent and have experience of
successfully creating and implementing a major fundraising strategy, demonstrable experience
of  developing  and  leading  a  team  through  the  execution  of  a  strategic  plan  and  a
comprehensive  understanding  of  the  principles  and  practices  of  fundraising  and  alumnae
relations gained from working in the education, charity or arts sectors.

This is a full time, full year position.

people  and  expects  all  staff  and  volunteers  to  share  this  commitment.      Applicants  will  be

"protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
