Based in London at Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, and with a thriving national and international touring schedule, the Philharmonia creates thrilling performances for a global audience. 

The Orchestra is led by Finnish conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen, its Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor since 2008. Fellow Finn Santtu- Matias Rouvali takes over from Salonen as Principal Conductor in the 2021/22 season. 

At the beginning of September 2020, the orchestra welcomed Alexander Van Ingen as Chief Executive and Lord King of Lothbury as Chair, both of whom will play a pivotal role in shaping the Orchestra and equipping it to navigate the future with confidence and ambition.

The COVID pandemic has had a profound impact on the performing arts and the ability to perform to live audiences.  However, the Philharmonia has in the last six months pivoted and embraced the opportunity of harnessing technology to reimagine itself and music through the digital space.

This has given the orchestra the opportunity to create three extraordinary, and importantly, free digital concerts in partnership with Classic FM: The Philharmonia Sessions which have featured world renowned soloists Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Nicola Benedetti. These summer concerts have reached six-figure audiences in the UK and around the world and drawn widespread critical acclaim.  The Philharmonia has recently announced an autumn programme including a further six online performances as the Orchestra continues to build out its new digital performance schedule during this period.

The Head of Trusts & Foundations will work with the Director of Development and the Development Board to create a new trusts and foundations strategy realigning fundraising with the ‘new normal’, focusing not just on the important Learning and Engagement programmes but also strategically increasing the focus on wider core activity.

You will be an experienced trusts and foundations fundraiser who can bring demonstrable success in securing, managing and effectively stewarding significant grants, together with a clear strategic understanding of the current grant-making climate across the UK.

Ideally bringing your own knowledge of key contacts and networks to the role, you will be as confident in meeting and developing relationships with vital contacts in the sector as you are when writing a funding proposal. You will also be a strong team player who can work closely with colleagues to identify opportunities as they arise.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative and passionate trust fundraiser to play a vital strategic role in developing and expanding trust and foundation support for a world-class orchestra.

Flexible working including later or earlier start and finish times, compressed hours and home working will be considered.

Trust and Foundations Manager

Salary: Circa £45K

Location: Poplar High St, Poplar, London E14 0AF

Reports to: Group Head of Strategic Projects

Work closely with: Senior Management Team; Poplar campus redevelopment team; Finance

Type of position: Full-time, permanent

Introduction to New City College

New City College (NCC) is the fourth largest further education college in England. It has been formed through five mergers: the merger between Tower Hamlets College and Hackney Community College in August 2016 and subsequent mergers with Redbridge College in April 2017, Epping Forest College in August 2018 and the mergers with Havering College of Further and Higher Education and Havering Sixth Form College in August 2019.

NCC currently has over 25,000 students with a small provision of 14-15 education, a large cohort of 16-18 students and a significant number of adult students. It offers over a 100 courses from A Levels, BTECs and ESOL to vocational subjects, such as business, IT, performing arts, trade skills and catering as well as pre-University courses. Throughout its intensive period of growth, NCC has maintained a focus on students and teaching and learning.

NCC is based in east London and has 10 sites in five local authorities: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Redbridge, Epping Forest and Havering. The College continues to maintain its strong local presence, serving the needs of its local communities.

Join an ambitious and exciting redevelopment project

The College has an ambitious plan to redevelop its campus in Poplar. Located on Poplar High Street, right next to Poplar DLR station and within 200m of Canary Wharf and Crossrail, the current campus is formed of an amalgam of buildings from different areas. The oldest part is a 1894 Poplar library building and the campus also includes a grade II listed Naval College from 1906. Newer parts of the building are from 1990s and 2006. The current building is inefficient and it is no longer future proofed to accommodate education and training provision for decades to come.

As such, the College is looking to redevelop the new campus into a state-of-the-art education facility which provides a flexible learning environment, is aligned with industry requirements, is green, accessible and sustainable and celebrates the heritage of the local area and the Naval College. The new campus will be funded through an enabling development, built on the same site as the new campus. There is also an opportunity to enhance the public realm around the new development, including invigorating Poplar High Street.

As part of the early planning for the redevelopment, NCC has worked with fundraising consultancy More Partnership to assess the overall potential to seek philanthropic support for aspects of the redevelopment, including specific subject areas and student groups. From this, it is clear that there is considerable scope to engage Trusts and Foundations with the project and that resulting impact NCC has on the lives of young people in this part of London. 

As a result, NCC now wishes to appoint a Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead this work, and in so doing, to put in place a long-term and sustainable grant-focused fundraising programme.
