Join the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment at one of the most unusual and inspiring workplaces in the arts: a world‑class orchestra based inside a north London comprehensive school. As our Development Officer (Events & Membership), you’ll help nurture the community of passionate supporters who keep the OAE’s music, education work and pioneering school residency thriving. From dreaming up engaging supporter events to crafting thoughtful communications and keeping our Friends programme running smoothly, you’ll be right at the heart of the orchestra’s story.
This is a hands‑on role in a small, energetic team where no two days look the same. One moment you might be greeting donors at a Southbank Centre concert; the next, organising a Friends’ open rehearsal in the School's iconic assembly hall or shaping content for our supporters’ magazine. If you’re a confident communicator with an eye for detail, a love of the arts and a desire to work somewhere genuinely distinctive, this is a rare chance to make a real impact in a friendly, mission‑driven organisation.
This role is primarily office based with some opportunity to work from home.

This is a full-time Chief Exec role offering an exciting time to join an organisation making
a huge impact with minimal resources. As the Organisation enters its tenth year,
regrettably the need for this work has never been greater and in addition to enhancing
existing projects, we plan to grow our Dignity Centre locations as well as expand our
outreach and impact in the coming two to five years. As a small charity, the role is
incredibly varied as well as hands-on. While there is no physical back office, meaning
the role is mostly from home/remote, the CEO spends sustained periods of time in our
projects in Nicosia, Cyprus and Bournemouth, UK as well as any new or potential
project sites in the UK and abroad. A typical day could include troubleshooting and
managing maintenance problems at distance for our projects in Nicosia and
Bournemouth, preparing and delivering interviews and presentations to the media or for
donors, calling volunteers to prepare them for collaborating with us and collating
indicator data for impact reports.
