Interview date: 28 September 2021

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (NHCM) plays a unique role in the UK as a memorial, a museum, a place of testimony and learning. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding individual into the new post of Director of Fundraising. This position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to play a pivotal role in a unique institution and help position us for future growth.

Set in a beautiful rural location, yet only 90 minutes from Central London, we are also the only place of Holocaust remembrance & learning in the world founded by non-Jewish people. The remarkable Smith family designed and built the Centre in 1995, creating a uniquely peaceful and contemplative ‘safe space’ including beautiful memorial rose gardens. Rapidly, they attracted not only visitors and school groups but an amazing team of Holocaust survivors for whom we became a home from home. We blossomed into an Arts Council supported museum of global creative excellence. But the Smith family ethos endures, as does our beloved family of Holocaust survivors. Their stories will always remain at the heart of our learning programmes.

Our hugely exciting redevelopment project will reinforce and sustain our mission in the face of twin challenges. First, rising anti-Jewish racism and social media which distorts the history of the world’s greatest crime against humanity. Second, we are slowly losing the Holocaust survivors who were first-hand witnesses. To offset their inevitable passing, we have created cutting-edge interactive VR and app experiences. These will future-proof Holocaust education for our whole sector. And the world-class team of designers and architects we have hired for redevelopment will enhance and grow the ecosystem they all live in.

If you’re a highly organised self-starter with a successful track-record in philanthropy fundraising, confident and able to lead a team, ideally with a good knowledge of the Jewish philanthropic community, we would love to hear from you. 

Location: Flexible with proximity to London and regular visits to NHCM, Laxton, Nottinghamshire, NG22 0PA.
