Description

Job Summary

This role is for a fundraising leader with a broad range of experience to join the senior team.

Job Description

We're the only Museum of the Home in the world - revealing home as an emotional, psychological, socio-political and economic space - as well as the bricks and mortar.

Museum of the Home is a movement as much as a museum - seeing home as a lens through which many of the vital issues impacting the world can be viewed and solutions found.

We are now seeking a fundraising leader with a broad range of experience to join the senior team and take our fundraising programme to the next level.

Building on the foundation of a dynamic, partnership-focused new Museum strategy to take us to 2031, this role will play a key part in growing and diversifying our income streams and supporters.

Closing date for applications is 5pm Thursday 22 January. We aim to shortlist and let candidates know by 27 January.

Interviews will be held in person at the Museum on Tuesday 3 February. You will need to prepare a presentation/task ahead of interview, and this will form part of your interview discussion. If there is need for a second interview, we'll let you know.

Whilst we are searching for a full time post, we will carefully consider part time, 28 hours/4 days per week.

Job Requirements

We're looking for someone who brings both strategic thinking and hands on practical delivery skills to fundraising. The role involves:

Leadership and management of all charitable income streams and developing new forms of support

Building the growth of philanthropic income

Implementing and refining our fundraising strategy

Contributing to the management and future direction of the Museum as part of the Leadership Team

If you're an experienced fundraising leader looking for the opportunity to make your mark, we'd love to hear from you. The role is a great opportunity to support a small, committed team and to contribute to the next stage of the Museum's story.
