The University of Derby is seeking to appoint a new Head of Development who will deliver an ambitious fundraising strategy to meet institutional targets and support a range of activities across the institution.

The University of Derby is located in the heart of England and offers industry-relevant, expert teaching from foundation and undergraduate degrees to postgraduate study and research. Our combined higher and further education offering is spread over campuses in Derby, Buxton, Leek and Chesterfield, and we have invested more than £200 million in some of the best university facilities in the UK over the last ten years.

We achieve outstanding results for our teaching and research, and with more than 34,000 people choosing to study with us every year, we depend on the dedication of a team of 2,200 academics and professional services staff.

The University boasts world-leading research that demonstrates real-world impact and has recently received the prestigious TEF Gold for learning and teaching and student experience, which places the University of Derby in the top 20% of universities in England.

About the role

As the most senior development professional at the University of Derby, the Head of Development is a member of the senior management team within the Stakeholder Relationships Department and will lead the development, implementation and delivery of the University's Development and Fundraising strategies. The postholder will grow a comprehensive fundraising and stewardship programme that will meet ambitious institutional targets and support a range of activities across the institution.

The Head of Development will coordinate all aspects of fundraising activity, ensuring the development of a range of innovative income-generating activities in collaboration with colleagues and key external stakeholders.

Working closely with the wider External Relations team and the University's Executive members, the Head of Development will lead the review and cultivation of a range of individual, corporate and trust prospects to solicit major gifts. This will include targeted gift-giving campaigns, hosting high-profile events alongside executive members, and developing a network of contacts and partners to ensure the University of Derby is well-positioned to respond to opportunities to meet ambitious income generation targets.
