Development Director, Live Music Now

Salary – Up to £50K

Location - Central London

Full time, permanent

Engagement with live music has been shown to bring measurable health, social and educational benefits and this is particularly the case for older people living with dementia or loneliness, as well as children with special educational needs and disabilities. Our client, Live Music Now, makes an enormous impact on the lives of vulnerable children and adults, throughout the UK, by delivering around 3,500 participatory performances and specialist workshops each year to over 120,000 people, through its musicians who are young professionals at the start of their career.

Since its creation in 1977, by Yehudi Menuhin and Sir Ian Stoutzker, the charity has reached over 2.5 million people. As the leading organisation in this field, Live Music Now works regularly at hundreds of schools and care homes each year. However, many vulnerable children and older people still cannot access the transformative benefits of live music. The charity’s vision is to scale up its activities, working with partner organisations, teachers and carers to create long-term sustainable programmes throughout the UK.  To achieve this, the Board and Executive Director of LMN are putting in place a step change in its fundraising strategy, alongside a profile-raising strategy.

A highly accomplished Development Director is therefore sought to help lead this fundraising strategy. Ideally, the successful candidate will:

• Bring strategic knowledge of raising funds through multiple income streams including major donors, individual giving, legacies and corporate sponsorship
• Demonstrate their expertise in developing sustainable partnerships
• Understand the needs of working with vulnerable adults and children in the arts, health, care or education sectors
• Possess excellent personal and public presentation skills
• At all times display empathy, with dynamism, in their internal and external relationships

This exciting and essential new role is a key appointment for the charity, so culture fit is as important as the skills required.  A charity fundraising background is not essential although strong commercial acumen, with a proven track record of successful income generation, is required. As an individual, you will believe deeply in the impact that LMN’s work can make to the wellbeing of disadvantaged people and be able to convey this in ways that relate to the interests and motivations of potential donors. It is important that the new Development Director is comfortable talking to people from different backgrounds and is confident in their ability to ‘tell the story’ in an engaging and compelling way.

To apply for this exceptional opportunity, and to request an application pack, please send your CV and Supporting statement to Jenny Warner, Managing Director, Charisma Recruitment Ltd quoting reference JO2761.

Reports To The Managing Director Job Overview

Orchestra of the Swan (OOTS) is a professional chamber orchestra with orchestral residencies in Stratford upon Avon, at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, The Courtyard Hereford and (from Jan 2021) at Coventry University. With a national and international reputation, OOTS performs around 45 concerts per year, supported by a nationally recognised programme of community activity in care homes, dementia cafés and schools regionally. This is a key role in the organisation, providing support directly to the Managing Director. Though the primary function of the role is to raise funds from charitable foundations, sponsorship and donations, the successful candidate will also be expected to provide support for other office activities and to meet and greet people at orchestra events. The successful candidate will be engaged with a 6-month probation period, during which it would be expected that they will have raised at least the equivalent to the cost of their 6-month employment. This is an exciting opportunity to maximise and diversify funding streams, build the organisation’s capacity and activity and expand the Friends of OOTS. The office team at OOTS is small and it is expected that the holder of this role will be comfortable being a member of that team and will provide support to their colleagues whenever it is required.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Work with and support the Managing Director in devising and implementing the fundraising strategy to meet the orchestra’s needs
• Research, devise and write applications to charitable foundations, companies and public bodies
• Cultivate relationships with grant-makers, donors and sponsors to ensure continued support
• Cultivate relationships with staff and players to ensure a full understanding of what we do and why
• Manage the administration and promotion of the Friends of the orchestra (FOOTS) including the maintenance of the database
• Attend concerts and other orchestra activities to meet and greet attendees and provide hosting to sponsors, VIPs and supporters
• Provide support for other office activities, such as database maintenance 

Qualifications

The primary qualification for this role is to have a genuine enjoyment for writing; to be articulate and creative. It also requires someone who enjoys research and is able, from that research to understand the requirements and motivations of funding bodies and to use that understanding to shape funding applications.

The successful candidate will have:

• an interest in the performing arts and, preferably, in classical orchestral music
• demonstrable experience of fundraising
• excellent communication skills and be comfortable meeting people at all levels
• good IT skills, being able to use all common office software, databases and social media
• enthusiasm for and experience of working in a hands-on way for a small charity

Year Here is an immersive full-time course in social innovation, kicking off on 31st August 2020.

We believe that starting a scalable social business could be your best shot at impact – and that learning on the frontline is where you need to start.

Over 10 months, you’ll gain deep insight into complex social issues and learn to build entrepreneurial solutions to society’s toughest problems – from the housing crisis to knife crime.

If selected to become a Fellow, you will:

• Get frontline insights. You’ll spend the first 5 months working with the people hit hardest by austerity and gaining deep user insight. To deepen your systemic understanding, you’ll also work on briefs set by clients like Crisis, the NHS and the Greater London Authority.
• Meet your co-founders. Our Fellows have an average of 7 years’ career experience in fields ranging from biochemistry to law, and from journalism to engineering. They will become your support network, your collaborators and, ultimately, your co-founders.
• Build scalable ventures. You’ll test and build your own social business, with the potential to progress to our Incubator and launch it into the world. Venture teams are guided by expert partners like the Boston Consulting Group, ForwardPMX and BNYMellon.
• Learn from expert faculty. You’ll get a personal mentor and receive tonnes of training from a faculty of more than 80 social innovation leaders – from award-winning social designer Lauren Currie OBE to Nishant Lalwani, Managing Director at Luminate.

Beyond Year Here

Finish the programme with a venture and you’ll get seed funding, business support, desk-space and client introductions to launch your business.

Our alumni have launched 33 social ventures including: 

• Cracked It, the tech repair service staffed by ex-gang members. Social Enterprise of the Year 2018 and 2019.
• Birdsong the feminist fashion brand selling wardrobe stapes made by women paid a fair wage. Featured in Vogue, Dazed and Vice.
• Appt, a HealthTech business that uses behavioural economics to help patients manage their long-term conditions – with multi-year investment from Innovate UK.
• Chatterbox, an online language tuition platform powered by refugee talent, featured in The Economist, Tech Crunch and The Times. 

Those that don’t start a venture join other fast-growing social startups like The Difference, BeyondMe, Switchback and Matr.

No course fees

Unlike a Master's degree or MBA, we have no tuition fee. This is a reimagination of higher education. Rather than spending a year in a lecture hall and paying £10,000 for the privilege, we challenge you to learn by doing – working on real social impact projects. Our partners pay us to be involved and that covers your tuition costs.

To widen access to the programme we have a small number of means-tested bursaries available, and offer additional support through TfL discounts and recommendations for flexible paid work and affordable accommodation.

Selection Process

We’re looking for people with a solid professional skillset and an entrepreneurial track record. This doesn’t mean you have to have started your own business before but you will need to demonstrate that you have a bias towards action. Drive, passion for social justice and a strong learning orientation are also essential.

It’s a 3-stage process: a written application, video interview and half-day selection workshop. Typically, 1 in 10 applicants secure a place on the programme.

Apply by midnight Sunday 7th June.

In January 2020, we updated our Theory of Change to reflect the evolving food landscape and the learnings we had taken from our first 2 years of operation.

The Theory of Change can be found on our website.
