Director of Development
Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith
Location: West London
Salary: No less than £95,000, plus flexibility where needed to ensure that the School is able to attract leading professionals to this important role.
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious Development professional to join the Latymer Foundation in this important Senior Management role. With the full backing of the Head, Governors and the Latymer community, and using the momentum of recent campaign success and anniversary celebrations, the new Director of Development will be ideally placed to draw up a roadmap for the fundraising and alumni engagement strategy for the next decade.
The Latymer Foundation runs Latymer Upper School and Latymer Prep in Hammersmith, alongside delivering a wide range of partnership initiatives with some 250 local schools, charities and other not-for-profit organisations.
Latymer Upper School is a school like no other. A vibrant co-educational day school which achieves extremely high standards, Latymer aims to develop young people with the necessary dispositions and skills to be a lifelong learner, a global citizen and successful in adult life. Through the fundraising, alumni and community engagement activities driven by the Latymer Foundation Office, the Upper School is able to provide significant financial support for talented students to access a world-class education, thus being a true engine for social mobility.
The Latymer Foundation’s Inspiring Minds campaign launched in 2017 with the aim of funding bursaries for as many as one in four Upper School pupils. The campaign successfully raised £50 million, enabling Latymer Upper to more than double its bursary provision and its endowment. The Foundation’s 400th anniversary in 2024 gave rise to a further opportunity to engage the Latymer community, paving the path for significant future philanthropy.
Reporting to the Head of Latymer Upper, and leading a team of 12, the new Director of Development will be a first-class relationship builder and manager, motivated by the School’s ethos for excellence and inclusivity. As an outstanding leader with a proven track record of developing and implementing philanthropic income generation strategies, confidence in your own ability to operate at this strategic level will be underpinned by your demonstrable experience of negotiating and securing high-level relationships for the organisations you’ve represented.
Key to your success in this role is your inspirational, inclusive and collaborative leadership approach, your experience of motivating high-performing teams, and your innovative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results. Your credibility, pragmatism and ability to show good judgement, will inspire those around you and enable you to take the team and Foundation’s activity to the next level. If you believe you have the skills, aptitude and commitment to lead the Latymer Foundation’s team with drive and ambition, and are committed to the School’s values and aims, we would love to hear from you.
