Guildhall School is a vibrant, international community of young musicians, actors and production artists in the heart of the City of London. The School is a global leader of creative and professional practice which promotes innovation, experiment and research. Their ambition is to lead students through the transformative journey of training in music, acting and production arts.
The role will focus on fundraising for the institution's ongoing philanthropic needs which currently include student support and scholarships and projects related to world class training, artistic citizenship and research. The institution has a phenomenal reputation with their training programmes and ensuring those that are able to attain a scholarship are able to do so.
The Development Manager will lead on raising funds in support of the Guildhall School in the form of major gifts (from £5,000), mid-level and regular-giving commitments (from £1,000 per annum) from a variety of philanthropic sources including trusts & foundations, City livery companies and corporates. You will also need to identify, research and qualify potential new donors in collaboration with the data team and plan appropriate and bespoke personal approaches. In this role, you will have responsibility of line managing the Development Officer (Organisations) in meeting agreed fundraising targets and stewarding relationships with trusts and foundations.
The role is perfect for someone who will come into this role and hit the ground running. The successful applicant will have a natural written ability which is both persuasive and personable.

Are you an experienced major donor fundraiser, looking for your next challenge, who is committed to conservation and enthusiastic about investing in our environment?
The Heart of England Forest is an exciting and ambitious charity working hard to create a huge new woodland in the heart of the country that will benefit people and wildlife for generations to come.
We take our mission very seriously; it has never been more important to invest in our natural environment.

The significance and scale of our work cannot be underestimated: The Heart of England Forest - already the largest new native forest in the country – will become one of the largest forests in England.
Not only is our Forest expanding, so too is our team, and we have an exciting opportunity for you to join us. The charity is a rewarding place to work and offers its staff a number of benefits.
