Due to increased investment from the university we’re really excited to announce the recruitment for the role of Education Quality Coordinators.

Who we are

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfill potential; we help make it happen.

About the job

We're looking for two Education Quality Coordinator's to help make sure students' academic voices are heard loud and clear. You'll work closely with UAL staff and student leaders to deliver course-based initiatives, opportunities and events that make a real difference to the experience of our students. A big part of your role will be the annual cycle of recruiting, training and support course and school reps so they feel confident and capable in representing their peers. You'll work with students to collect and share feedback, run academic campaigns and help shape positive changes to courses across UAL. You'll also keep track of key data, and support targeted engagement initiatives, and make sure students feel a genuine sense of belonging through their academic journey. It's a hands-on role where relationship building and problem solving go hand in hand.

Who we are looking for ?

We want individuals who are organised, approachable, and love working with people. You should be comfortable building relationships with a wide range of students and staff, and able to explain processes clearly and simply. Experience in education, community development, or a similar role is a big plus - especially if you've delivered training or organised events before. You'll need strong data skills, from keeping accurate stats to analysing feedback and turning this into action. Being flexible, proactive and good at juggling projects will help you thrive. Most importantly, you'll care about creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where every student feels included, heard and that they can contribute.

Why apply?

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.

Benefits and Perks

In return for your passion and experience, we offer:

• a summer 4-day working week - we have a four day working week during the months of July & August
• Generous holiday entitlement (up to 39 days) - 25 days holidays per year, increasing at the rate of one day per full year served after the end of your second year of employment up to a maximum of 5 days
• A three-week closure during the festive period incorporating the three UK bank holidays (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day). This is approximately 12 additional leave days.
• A six-day closure during spring incorporating the two UK bank holidays (Good Friday and Easter Monday). Therefore, closure dates are from Thursday before Good Friday to Tuesday after Bank Holiday Monday. These are 2 additional leave days.
• Birthday Leave
• 2 days of Volunteering Leave
• Religious Festival Leave (up to 2 days)
• Cycle to Work scheme, enabling significant savings on bicycle purchase
• Flexible/ hybrid working arrangements
• Access to UAL staff training courses

Part 1 (Application Form) is all about you telling us about your suitability for the role and will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for interview.

It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting.

Application forms are formatted to ensure the equality monitoring data is removed before applications are seen by the shortlisting panel. This process allows us to ensure that the shortlisting is done in a fair and consistent manner and all applicants are given the same opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.

Job title: Director of Development: Principal Gifts and Global
Salary: circa £140,000 to £160,000
Location: Hybrid/South Kensington and White City (with travel to other Imperial campuses/meetings as required)

This is a unique opportunity to join one of the world’s leading universities and drive its principal gifts, global fundraising and foundation, corporates and trusts strategy. One of the most exciting leadership positions in the sector, the newly created role of Director of Development: Principal & Global, will be pivotal in helping Imperial scale its ambition and impact, at a moment of extraordinary momentum.

Founded in 1907, Imperial has long been recognised for its strengths in research, education and innovation. Throughout our history we have sought not only to be a world-leading university, but a world-changing one, with real-world impact at our core.

Earlier this year we launched our new strategy, Science for Humanity, which is bold and ambitious, and reflects the purpose of our global community. It is an actionable plan across all areas of our activity, a template for greater impact.

A strategy this ambitious requires us to think boldly, and we are in the planning stages of a comprehensive fundraising and alumni engagement campaign. Philanthropy already plays a significant role at the university, and we have a strong track record of securing principal gifts of £5m-£40m.

The Director of Development: Principal Gifts and Global sits at the heart of Imperial’s future. Reporting to the Vice President (Advancement), and sitting on their senior leadership team, the Director will steer high-level philanthropic engagement worldwide. Working closely with senior academic leaders and institutional stakeholders, you will lead a team that delivers gifts that are truly transformational.  You will build and deepen relationships with some of the most influential philanthropists globally and help to shape and drive Imperial’s next campaign.

With a track record of securing principal gifts and success in managing complex relationships, you will thrive in a collaborative and high-performing environment. You will be a values-driven strategic leader, energised by challenge, motivated by impact, and eager to inspire teams and donors alike.

This role will remain live until it is filled therefore please complete and submit your application at the earliest possible opportunity to avoid potential disappointment.

In addition to this post, we are going to be recruiting to two exceptional Global Development opportunities. As we continue to expand our international presence, we will shortly be recruiting for the following key leadership roles:

• Deputy of Global Development, North America
• Deputy of Global Development, Asia

Each of these roles offers a unique opportunity to shape our strategic direction, build impactful partnerships, and drive growth across diverse regions. 

Imperial College is partnering with Constellate Global Talent on this search. No agencies please.

We are looking for a warm, flexible and highly motivated fundraiser to work across all areas of our fundraising, from securing income from trusts and foundations and corporate partners to staying on top of our individual giving. 

You’ll benefit from regular mentoring sessions with an external fundraising consultant and be able to foster close relationships with our board of trustees and other key stakeholders. 

BYO has a very small core team, which you’ll be part of, and a large number of freelancers and external staff that join for programmes, events and performances. Our registered office is at the London Coliseum but day-to-day, when our big
programmes aren’t running, we work remotely. 

You’ll find yourself inputting across the organisation – for an inquisitive and proactive person there are plenty of opportunities to take on more responsibility as we grow. Here at BYO we actively support professional development and are very open to flexible working.
