Philanthropy Manager, Caterham School

Generous annual leave & pension | TOIL | Excellent benefits including fee remission

At Caterham, we are driving education forward in the UK - and philanthropy is central to making that vision a reality. Our school stands at the forefront of educational innovation, blending academic excellence with cutting-edge technology and a unique curriculum. As a provider of life-changing bursaries and a leader in pioneering partnerships, we’re not just transforming our own pupils’ futures, but influencing education outcomes for children across the region, too. Our approach has made us the destination of choice for families seeking a truly forward-thinking education, and we are on a trajectory that is ready to be taken to the next level.

The support we receive from our community makes a tangible and lasting difference to our pupils and beyond. We have set ambitious philanthropic goals, including a target of £7 million by 2030, and we are already gaining strong momentum. As Philanthropy Manager, you will be at the heart of this effort - leading on the cultivation and stewardship of high-value relationships with individuals and organisations.

You’ll work closely with the Development Director, as well as the Senior Leadership Team and a network of engaged volunteers, to inspire generosity and build meaningful, long-term connections. You will have the opportunity to contribute at a strategic level while also seeing the direct results of your work - whether through a bursary pupil’s success story or the opening of a new learning space funded by donors you’ve helped inspire.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a strategic, collaborative, and relationship-driven fundraiser to shape and drive a major gifts programme within a highly supportive and forward-thinking environment. Whether you come from an educational background or another area of the charitable sector, we’re looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about connecting people with purpose - and who sees the potential of philanthropy to change lives.

Caterham is a very special place to work. We are proud of our history but even more excited about our future. If that excites you too, we warmly encourage you to apply.
