Vacancies Fundraising Manager
Permanent
Full time
For September 2023
The Godolphin and Latymer School is one of the country’s leading independent day schools for girls, located on a six acre site in Hammersmith, London. The School’s facilities are excellent, making it an exciting place to learn and work. The students at Godolphin and Latymer receive unrivalled academic and pastoral support and outstanding examination results are achieved.
We seek to appoint a senior member of the Development team, who will have the ability to manage multiple responsibilities. The role offers experience of the key aspects of fundraising and will require a skilled and dynamic individual.
As Fundraising Manager, you will have sole responsibility for the mid-level giving cycle and, alongside the Director of Development, will manage all major giving processes; this includes securing gifts from supporters at both these levels. In line with good practice, you will also be responsible for identifying opportunities to engage, cultivate and steward supporters. You will play a key role in developing and delivering the school’s fundraising goals.
Applicants must be highly personable and as Fundraising Manager will need to work collaboratively within the team and have the experience required to lead on smaller projects.
The post-holder will build on the success of the past two years, strengthening relationships with alumnae, current and past parents and staff; growing the fundraising programme and encouraging a thriving and supportive community.
Please refer to the recruitment information booklet for the full job description and person specification for this role.
The core working hours are 8.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Thursday and 8.00am to 4.30pm Friday (8.00am to 4.30pm daily during school holidays), with occasional evening/weekend work required due to the nature of the role and the needs of the department.
The post attracts 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays and two weeks at Christmas when the School is closed. All annual leave must be taken during periods of school holiday/school closure.
The salary will be commensurate with the post and will depend upon qualifications and experience.
Fully completed application forms should be returned to recruitment@godolphinandlatymer.com as soon as possible. Please note that applications must be made on the school’s application form. CVs alone will not be accepted.
There is no closing date for this vacancy.
Applications will be considered on receipt and interviews may occur at any stage.
The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The School may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social media accounts, as part of their application.
All staff working in the School during the school day will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. In this role you are unlikely to be working with children directly but will regularly interact with pupils who may seek your assistance or otherwise interact with you when moving around the school.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. The School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions on a self-declaration form in advance of attending an interview (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
