The Yehudi Menuhin School (YMS) operates a needs-blind admissions process, and we remain determined that no pupil should ever turn down a place at YMS due to a lack of funding. More than 90% of pupils need help to take up their place, and support from philanthropy (individuals, trusts and foundations, legacies and corporate supporters) is a vital source of income for our Bursary Fund, as well as a range of other projects and activities that are of direct benefit to our pupils.
You will join the Development Office at an exciting time for the School. Under new leadership, the School has recently published an exciting strategic plan, 21st Century Musicians, for the period 2022-2027, which includes several exciting new initiatives for the School to roll out over the next five to ten years. The strategic plan provides a strong case for support to underpin all fundraising activities and will allow us to reach out to new donors, as well as continuing to engage our loyal body of current supporters.
You will be responsible for identifying and researching individuals, corporations and trusts and foundations, mainly overseas. You will work closely with the Director of Development & External Relations, the Leadership Team and other colleagues in helping to identify, plan and deliver a number of donor cultivation events.
This is a key role in making the School’s strategic priorities a reality on the ground. You will need to be proactive, curious, enterprising and systematic in your approach to prospect research, and be able to engage and manage internal stakeholder relationships.
The Yehudi Menuhin is a great place to work with lots of fantastic benefits including a pension scheme, opportunity of flexible working, free school lunches during term time, use of swimming pool (when available), life assurance and free parking.
