Are you a passionate fundraising leader looking to use your skills to support the largest sculpture park of its kind in Europe?
Charity People is partnering with a pioneering sculpture park to find their new Head of Development. They're looking for an ambitious, experienced fundraising leader to help secure the sculpture park's future.
Salary: £42,000 to £47,500 per annum
Contract: Permanent, either full time (37.5 hours), or part-time hours considered to 0.8 FTE
Location: Hybrid between office and home, with 3 days per week onsite (for full-time employees)
Benefits: 33 days holidays per annum (pro-rata for part-time employees), including bank/public holidays plus an additional day for every year's service up to a maximum of 38 days, access to employee assistance programme, staff discount in the sculpture park's retail and catering outlets including a discounted lunch offer, free entry to the sculpture park after working hours, free parking onsite, free access to other visitor attractions across the UK.

About The Charity
The sculpture park is the leading international centre for modern and contemporary sculpture in the UK. It's an award-winning and pioneering organisation that aims to challenge, inspire, inform and delight, welcoming over 230,000 visitors every year. An independent charitable trust and registered museum, the sculpture park is situated in 500-acres of 18th-century landscape in West Yorkshire. As offices go, this one is pretty tough to beat!
About The Role
This is a brilliant time to join the sculpture park as it approaches its 50th anniversary and is looking to secure financial support for the next 50 years. The Head of Development will be integral in securing the charity's future through crafting and executing an ambitious fundraising strategy, developing new income streams, and growing a pipeline of funding. Currently, the development team generates £500k per annum, which the sculpture park aims to double over the next five years.
You'll lead and develop a team of four, providing the tools and support they need in order to deliver exceptional fundraising initiatives and events. While you'll work collaboratively towards shared goals, a key priority of this role will be to secure major gifts and build long-term relationships with a network of philanthropists, supporters and partners.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced fundraiser, ideally in the high value space. You'll have project management experience and will have developed and delivered strategic plans.
You'll be an expert communicator and relationship builder, with excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll also be a strong leader, with experience managing and inspiring staff to complete projects successfully.
Most importantly, you'll be excited by the prospect of working towards the sculpture park's mission to showcase exceptional art, creating meaningful and enjoyable cultural and learning experiences for everyone.
Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the first step.
Deadline: 9am on the 16th July
