  • To be an experienced development professional with a strong track record of securing major gifts and the ability to secure gifts in the range of £100k-£1m+
  • Confidence to work with people from a range of backgrounds, both internally and externally
  • The ability to think creatively in prospecting, cultivation and stewardship

  • 38 days annual leave (including public holidays)
  • Hybrid working arrangements for a healthy work-life balance
