B-SIDE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR JOB DESCRIPTION

0.6 FTE pro-rata £30,000 p.a.

APPLICATIONS DEADLINE: 06 JANUARY 2020

We are looking for a dynamic and collaborative individual to join us in a new period of development. You will be an experienced fundraiser who can work across the range of fundraising activities e.g. grant applications, fundraising events, donors, sponsors and membership.  You will be able to demonstrate sound strategic financial knowledge, and the practical ability to manage finances and systems. There is an ample handover period with the current Executive Director built into our staffing plan. Some experience of managing policies and HR is desirable. 

The Development Director is offered as a 0.6 FTE pro-rata £30,000 p.a. PAYE position, with an initial guaranteed contract to April 2022 and further extension if the next round of the NPO or other major funding applications are successful. All the senior team are P/T and the remuneration across Artistic Directors / Creative Producers etc. is fixed at the same rate: the team ethos is generally collaborative and non-hierarchical.

Background

b-side has an unusual mission: ‘curating’ the Isle of Portland, Dorset with a series of temporary, commissioned artworks and a biennial festival. We are site-specific, site-responsive, outdoors and accessible. We produce moments not monuments. Our ‘collections’ are the collective memories of our audiences and participants. We ask our supporters to be players, partners and protagonists.

b-side was founded in 2007 as part of 2012 Cultural Olympiad. It became a Community Interest Company in 2009 and an Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation in 2012, retaining this status in 2015 & 2018. ACE continues to be its principal funder: other grants have included Heritage Lottery Foundation, Awards for All, Alice Ellen Cooper Dean etc. Recently b-side was awarded a Catalyst Small Grant and have developed a wider fundraising strategy with Cause4 to diversify our business model and income, which the Development Director would work with.

The Isle of Portland is an amazing island fortress of limestone, connected by a causeway to the Jurassic coast of Dorset. The distinct geology and geography have determined a distinct and significant environment and history. It is fitting that industries here include quarrying, prisons and the navy. It has strong, active communities; yet some wards are in the top 10% of multiple deprivation, the borough was ranked last in the UK for social mobility (2018) and is in the lowest quintile of the HEFCE PILOT4 survey (2017) measuring the proportion of school leavers entering HE.

This award-winning education organisation supports educators at every stage to keep getting better with the aim of ensuring that children from all backgrounds, including the most disadvantaged, are given the opportunity to thrive. An organisation that truly understands the impact it has on the communities and individuals it works with, the charity is recruiting for an Area Director managing school partnerships.

You'll lead on delivering regional acquisition targets, account manage senior stakeholders and motivate an outstanding regional sales team.

The post holder can be based in either Birmingham or Manchester, or home-based from Yorkshire or East Midlands.

Key responsibilities within the role will include:
* Develop and deliver the area plan in line with national strategy to achieve regional and national sales targets
* Lead, inspire and motivate staff to achieve results, providing for the development needs of staff within the team
* Work as a member of the SRMT to give strategic input to the overall regional operation
* Develop collaborative partnerships with key strategic partners and alliances including local authorities and Masters of Teaching; as well as opportunity areas and school's groups to achieve recruitment targets

On our 'wish list' for the perfect candidate:
* Experience of meeting ambitious and demanding sales targets in a previous role and of effectively managing a sales pipeline
* Experience of developing strategy and leading complex operations in a previous role
* Experience of successfully developing and leveraging external stakeholder relationships
* Knowledge of the education sector, national influencers, advocates and key stakeholders
* Experience of leading, motivating and developing others

This is an amazing opportunity to work for an organisation making genuine strides in ensuring that a high standard of education is delivered to all children regardless of their background. If you have experience of building partnerships within the education system, of leading and developing a team, and a passion for equality of education we'd love to hear from you.

If you'd like to be considered for this brilliant opportunity, please send your CV for more detail to our North West consultant, Amelia Lee: [email protected]
