Development and Alumnae Relations Officer

Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client to help in their recruitment of Development and Alumnae Relations Officer.

The organisation is the oldest independent girls school in London and as such has girls education in its DNA. It is a school that offers forward-thinking and contemporary education to over 1100 students aged 4 to 18. They believe that all girls should be given the opportunity to grow and flourish in an environment where this is no limit to their ambitions. You will find a diverse and dynamic community that values individuality and inclusivity.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious fundraising and/or alumni relations professional to join a newly created Development and Alumnae Relations department. The postholder will support the Head of Development and Alumnae Relations in generating fundraising income for the school and will play an important part in building an active and engaged Alumnae Association to ultimately increase philanthropic support, especially for bursaries.

Proven experience of maintaining and updating a fundraising/alumni database, along with experience of website content management are essential.
