Closing date: 2pm on 13 July 2026.

Interviews for this role are currently scheduled for 4 August 2026, but this may be subject to change.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier than the advertised closing date if we receive a high volume of applications. In such circumstances, we will provide applicants who have expressed an interest with at least 24 hours' notice before the application deadline is brought forward.

The Head of Programming & Creative Producing is a new senior role, working with the Chief Executive to shape and deliver the artistic output of the Philharmonia.

The postholder works hand-in-hand with the Head of Artistic Planning, and members of the Executive team to programme and artistically shape traditional concert programmes at various scales and in various contexts, as well as learning and digital projects and pre- or post-concert activities. The postholder also leads on the development and producing of new performance formats for own-promoted concerts.

A first-rate creative thinker, you will be passionate about working with conductors, artists and agents to create world-class concert programmes, residencies and series, and will be able to draw on your deep knowledge and understanding of orchestral repertoire, artists, and the wider cultural context, as well as an established network of industry relationships to turn your ideas into reality.

Your artistic interests, however, will range beyond the traditional core, and you will be driven by a personal mission to engage different and new audiences with orchestral music, whether that is through music for films or games, cross-artform and cross-genre collaborations, pre-performance debates, schools performances, VR installations, or different performance formats. You will take a producing approach to new performance formats, keenly appreciative of the importance of staging, narrative and flow for contemporary audiences. 

You know the importance of equality and diversity on stage in building a future for classical music, and are an active champion of creative projects which demonstrate this. Discovering new artists and musical voices will be second nature to you, just as you will be sensitive to the needs of established artists and composers in shaping a project. While your focus is on the quality of the artistic output, you will maintain in-the-round awareness of the complex jigsaw of sometimes competing priorities and restrictions into which any project has to be delivered, including box office and audience development targets.

An important member of the HODs Team with a close relationship to the Philharmonia Orchestra Artistic Committee, this role suits a collaborative and inclusive emerging leader who acts with integrity, and who can manage complex systems and personalities in line with the Philharmonia’s mission to create the orchestral experience of the future.

For 50 years, SportsAid has been backing the next generation of athletes.

But we're only just getting started.

As we launch our new organisational strategy and celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're entering an exciting new chapter—one that will see us grow our impact, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and build one of the UK's most engaged sporting communities.

We're looking for an ambitious and experienced fundraising leader to help make that happen.

Our Vision

From potential to personal best – whatever your story.

We want a future where talented athletes can pursue their ambitions, whatever their background, circumstances or income.

A future where talent is not lost because life gets in the way, and where support comes early, consistently and without conditions.

Our Mission

SportsAid exists to champion and support the next generation of athletes to fulfil their potential in sport and in life.

We invest early. We back ambition. We bring together partners, supporters and alumni to provide financial help, trusted guidance and belief—particularly at the moments when staying in sport becomes hardest.

For five decades, we have stood alongside athletes when success was uncertain and outcomes were unknown. Today, our ambition goes further.

We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That's why we're strengthening support for athletes and families, amplifying athlete voices, building lifelong communities of athletes and alumni, and working with partners to create a sporting system where potential—not background—shapes opportunity.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a community fundraising role.

You'll lead the development of SportsAid's Community Fundraising & Engagement programme at a pivotal moment in our history, helping shape the future of one of the UK's most respected sports charities.

Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications and as part of an ambitious leadership team, you'll develop and deliver a bold community fundraising strategy, grow sustainable unrestricted income and create outstanding supporter experiences that inspire people to back the next generation.

You'll also provide strategic leadership for our growing alumni engagement programme, ensuring former SportsAid athletes remain connected through mentoring, advocacy, storytelling, volunteering and fundraising.

Whether it's launching new fundraising products, growing challenge events, building partnerships with schools, clubs and communities, or developing innovative supporter journeys, you'll have the freedom to build something with lasting impact.

About You

You're someone who enjoys creating as much as delivering.

You combine strategic thinking with a practical, hands-on approach and know that exceptional fundraising is built on exceptional relationships.

You may currently be leading community fundraising, supporter engagement or individual giving within a charity and be looking for the opportunity to shape a programme with genuine national potential.

You'll bring:

· Significant experience developing successful community fundraising or supporter engagement programmes.

· A track record of growing sustainable income and building long-term supporter relationships.

· Experience leading people, developing strategy and delivering results.

· Strong commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.

· Excellent relationship-building, influencing and communication skills.

· A passion for creating outstanding supporter experiences.

Most importantly, you'll be excited by the opportunity to build, innovate and help shape the future of SportsAid.

Why Join SportsAid?

There has never been a more exciting time to join us.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we're investing in ambitious plans to expand our fundraising, strengthen lifelong relationships with athletes and supporters, and increase our impact across the UK.

You'll join an ambitious, collaborative and values-led organisation with an engaged Board, a supportive leadership team and colleagues who genuinely care about our mission.

We offer:

· Salary of £50,000–£55,000 (pro rata if 0.8 FTE)

· Home-based or hybrid working

· Flexible working arrangements

· Private healthcare

· Pension contribution

· Cycle to Work Scheme

· Season ticket loan
