Access and diversity are at the heart of who we are, and we are deeply committed to ensuring talented students from all backgrounds can experience our training, uplifting the greatest range of voices and perspectives.

This is an exciting time to join us.

In addition to our vocational training aims, we are building on our foundational strengths to expand our income streams through life changing work aligned with our core pedagogy, and ethos. We aim to co-create with industry and other stakeholders to build on our reputation as a centre of excellence and innovation in our field.

We are seeking an experienced fundraising events professional to join our Development team at a pivotal point in our journey. As Head of Development Events, you will play a key role in driving RADA’s future fundraising growth by developing special events to cultivate and steward individual supporters, corporate partners, trusts, and graduates. The role will lead the programming and operational delivery of an annual programme of events to support strategic priorities, including income generation, public programmes, industry connections, graduates and student engagement, and royal patronage events.

The ideal candidate will be able to deal confidently and professionally with some of the most senior and successful creative people internally and externally. You will take a collaborative approach to event planning and work with Development colleagues to help them successfully deliver the new multi-year fundraising campaign strategy. Your ability to work at both strategic and operational levels will be key to your success.
