Cambridge, United Kingdom Peterborough Cathedral Full time

We are delighted to be working in partnership with Peterborough Cathedral. Peterborough Cathedral is one of England’s finest Norman landmarks. Founded as a monastic community in 654 AD, it grew into a prominent medieval abbey, the burial site of two queens, and a witness to Civil War drama. 

Today, this iconic building is a major attraction in a vibrant city, hosting exhibitions, cultural events, and gatherings. Yet at its heart, it remains a sacred place of Christian worship and mission—the ‘Mother Church’ of the Diocese of Peterborough and the seat of the Bishop of Peterborough. Every activity here reflects the Cathedral’s inspiring vision and values.

We are seeking a new Head of Fundraising. An experienced fundraising professional to lead income generation for the Cathedral, focusing on ambitious capital projects and ongoing operations. You’ll manage the fundraising officer in developing a regular giving program and nurturing lasting donor relationships through personalised, multi-channel engagement. By inspiring support for the Cathedral’s vision, you’ll drive sustainable income while coordinating multiple fundraising agencies to align with the new fundraising strategy.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate:

  • A proven track record of securing 6 to 7 figure funding in grant, philanthropic and statutory grants environment
  • Solid understanding and experience in legacy fundraising
