No agency support is required

The Development Office at The King's School Canterbury plays a vital role in supporting the School's long-term vision and sustainability. Working at the intersection of fundraising, alumni relations, and community engagement, it is responsible for building meaningful relationships with past pupils (OKS), parents, and supporters, and is entering a pivotal and ambitious phase of growth.

Guided by a bold five-year Philanthropy and Engagement Strategy, the Development Office places philanthropy and community engagement at the centre of its long-term vision to transform lives through education.

This is a moment of genuine momentum. Building on strong recent progress – including the revitalisation of major gifts activity, the successful launch of a regular giving programme, and the establishment of a unified King’s Association – the School has also recently completed Phase I of The Charter Awards, its ambitious fundraising campaign. Launched in 2023 to grow the School’s endowment to £50 million by the 500th anniversary of its 1541 Charter, the campaign has already exceeded expectations, raising over £3 million in just three years. Charter Awards bursaries are already transforming lives, enabling talented young people who would otherwise never have the opportunity to access a King’s education.

The King’s School now seeks an outstanding Director of Development to lead the next phase of this journey. The focus will be on scaling impact: strengthening the major gifts pipeline, expanding regular and legacy giving, and delivering high-impact fundraising aligned with the School’s strategic priorities.

This is a highly relational and outward-facing role, requiring close partnership with senior leadership, governors, and an international network of supporters to inspire philanthropic investment and deepen engagement across the global King’s community. The successful candidate will be supported by a Head of Development, a Development Officer, an Engagement Manager, and part-time Events and Admin Officers.

This is an exciting opportunity to join one of the world’s great schools at a defining moment in its development programme, where ambition, collaboration and a commitment to excellence underpin everything we do.

For further information and to apply online, please visit our website.

Provisional date for first interviews: 11 and 12 June 2026.

Second interviews: 17 June 2026.

The King’s School is committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About the Role
Here at Fire Fighters Charity, we are here to help all serving and retired members of the UK’s fire family to live healthier and happier lives.

We’re looking for a Performance and Insight Coordinator to help us better understand our performance, impact and relationships, and use that insight to drive improvement across the organisation.

Working within our Change and Innovation team, you’ll play a key role in bringing together data, feedback and relational insight from across the organisation and our partners. You’ll gather and analyse both quantitative data (such as service performance and reach) and qualitative insight (including staff feedback, stakeholder views and “soft signals”) to build a complete picture of how we’re performing.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across teams and with external partners, including Fire and Rescue Services (FRS), to capture and analyse relationship insight. By connecting this with performance data, you’ll help identify emerging trends, risks and opportunities.

A key part of the role will be turning complex information into clear, actionable insight. You’ll produce dashboards, briefings, heatmaps and reports tailored to different audiences, enabling teams and leaders to make informed decisions and continuously improve.

You’ll also support strategic planning and innovation by feeding insight into change activity, tracking learning, and helping embed a culture of reflection, feedback and improvement across the organisation.

This role is subject to a basic DBS check.

About You
You are confident working with both data and people, able to bring together numbers, feedback and observations to tell a clear and compelling story.

You’ll have experience in a role involving data, as well as research, engagement or service delivery, with a proven ability to analyse diverse information and translate it into meaningful insight. You’re comfortable working across teams in a complex organisation and understand the importance of strong stakeholder relationships.

You’re a skilled communicator, able to present information clearly to a range of audiences, including senior leaders and non-specialists. You’re also highly organised, able to manage multiple priorities and work collaboratively across geographically dispersed teams.

With strong emotional intelligence and listening skills, you can create safe spaces for feedback and ensure insight is captured consistently. You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity, spotting patterns, and identifying what matters most.

You’ll also bring:

• Experience working with both qualitative and quantitative data
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Experience using data visualisation tools (Tableau strongly preferred), Microsoft applications, and CRM systems (. previous ues of Salesforce is advantageous)
• A proactive, flexible and solution-focused approach
• A commitment to continuous learning and improvement

Above all, you’re motivated by using insight to drive positive change, improve services, and strengthen relationships.

Interviews are planned for week commencing 15 June 2026.

About us

The Sir Martin Gilbert Learning Centre is an educational charity whose mission is to educate young people about who Jews are and the contributions they have made to society. Our free workshops are integrated with the National Curriculum and rooted in academic research. Since launching in January 2024, we've reached over 5,800 students and built partnerships with schools across England, Scotland and Wales.

We're now entering an ambitious phase of growth, developing deeper relationships with select Focus Schools and building towards a national reach of 25,000 students per year.

The role

This is far more than a management job. As our first School Partnerships Manager, you'll lead our outreach to schools and play a central role in shaping how the Centre develops and grows. Working closely with the Director, you'll drive the number of schools accessing our programmes, deepen relationships with existing partners, and help design our Focus School programme from the ground up.

You'll spend your time:

• Building and stewarding relationships with teachers, heads of department, and senior school leaders
• Proactively identifying and contacting prospective partner schools through outreach, networking and events
• Managing the full partnership lifecycle, from first contact through booking, delivery and follow-up
• Shaping our Focus School programme and contributing ideas for curriculum development
• Representing the Centre at conferences and educational events

This job is for you if…

• You have experience working directly in or with schools, and understand what motivates teachers and senior leaders
• You've worked in relationship management, outreach, partnership development, sales or business development
• You're a confident, persuasive communicator - comfortable on outreach calls, in writing, and presenting in person
• You're self-motivated, well organised, and thrive in a small, ambitious team
• You're genuinely committed to our mission and excited to help shape a young charity at a pivotal moment
• You're committed to safeguarding and the welfare of children and young people

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced EA who thrives in a fast-paced academic environment and enjoys providing high-level support to senior leadership.

Key responsibilities for this role include:

• Supporting the day-to-day operations of the Dean’s Office, including managing phones, ordering supplies, and reporting maintenance issues.
• Coordinating meeting logistics such as room bookings, catering, AV support, and ensuring meeting spaces are set up appropriately.
• Assisting with diary and meeting management for the Dean and COO, including developing an understanding of their preferences and priorities.
• Collaborating with departments across the school to ensure consistent service delivery and effective cross-functional working.
