This is an exciting opportunity to join our dedicated team and contribute to the success of our fundraising efforts.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage a portfolio of 150+ prospects, with a focus on cultivating mid-level giving, building relationships, and ensuring exceptional donor stewardship.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • A degree or equivalent experience.
  • Proven experience in fundraising, ideally within a higher education setting.
  • Excellent relationship-building skills, with experience working with donors, volunteers, or other stakeholders.
  • Exceptional communication skills, capable of conveying fundraising ideas and updates to a variety of audiences.
  • Strong IT skills, particularly in managing relational databases (experience with Raiser's Edge is an advantage).
  • A flexible approach to working hours and travel, and a genuine alignment with the College's mission of diversity and inclusion.

Why Lucy Cavendish College?

We are proud of our commitment to diversity and inclusion, ensuring that 90+% of our UK undergraduates come from state schools and a significant proportion from low-income or under-represented backgrounds.

Our international students come from over 80 countries, with a growing number supported by our fundraising efforts to study from less developed or under-represented regions.

You'll have the chance to shape the future of fundraising in this unique College, supporting our students who defy convention and exceed expectations.
