Development Officer 3 days a week (21 hours) term time, pro rata pay: £14,500 approx. per annum
The Grey Coat Hospital has long raised funds from various sources in order to provide its pupils with valuable enrichment opportunities. With a growing need for this supplementary funding, the school has recently further developed its fundraising by establishing a strong case for support, an effective fundraising website, and a basic fundraising strategy.
The Development Officer will lead on the implementation of this fundraising strategy with the support and guidance from an experienced Development Board. The role will require initiative, involve planning and administering high quality communications - through events, mailings and one-to-one contact – with parents, alumni, trusts and local companies to achieve financial targets agreed, as well as proper stewardship to ensure Grey Coat Hospital builds a pipeline of lifelong donors.
