St Dunstan’s Education Group’s highly successful fundraising programme was established in 2020 and, in a relatively short period, has secured nearly £2.5 million in gifts and legacies, alongside a further £1.2 million in pledges.
The Philanthropy Office is now entering an exciting new phase of growth after securing its first 7 figure gift, as St Dunstan’s Education Group (SDEG) builds towards an ambitious long-term goal of raising £15 million by 2038, coinciding with St Dunstan’s College’s 150th anniversary. The newly created Senior Philanthropy Manager will play a pivotal role in delivering this ambition.
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious and experienced fundraising professional to join a successful and growing programme at a significant point in its development. The role would particularly suit a candidate with experience in independent schools, higher education, charities or another relationship-led fundraising environment.
Early applications are advised as the College reserves the right to appoint at any stage during the application process.
St Dunstan’s Education Group is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post. As this role involves ‘regulated activity’ with children the successful applicant will be required to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure application. Employment will be conditional upon St Dunstan’s Education Group being satisfied with the result of the Enhanced DBS check and the outcome of all other checks.
St Dunstan’s Education Group will also carry out a check of the Children’s Barred List on the successful applicant. Applicants should be aware that it is unlawful for St Dunstan’s Education Group to employ anyone to work with children if they are barred from doing so, and it is a criminal offence for a person to apply to work with children if they are barred from doing so.
This role is also exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and St Dunstan’s Education Group is therefore permitted to ask shortlisted applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are ‘spent’ unless they are ‘protected’ under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
