This is an exciting time to join the College and the Development Team, as we celebrate 170 years of the College’s Foundation. We are a small team who all work together to build our alumni network, provide a variety of events and activities, and fundraise for the Colleges Bursary Fund and ambitious Development plans.The post holder supports the Director of Development, to further fundraising, thank donors and organise a number of events and activities related to both fundraising and developing our Old Epsomian network for alumni.
This position will involve strengthening our alumni network through engagement activities, the continual development and input into the alumni database and use of social media and events to provide our former pupils with an informative, exciting and useful programme of events and fundraising activities for both the Bursary Fund and Capital Development projects.
From a strong administrative background, with excellent communications skills and the proven ability to write to a high standard we are looking for an individual with office experience and social media and networking knowledge. An administrative background in supporting finance, marketing and managing events is very desirable, as the role will include organising events and working with databases and complex financial systems.
The role is interesting, busy and varied with a range of responsibilities that will suit a team player who is results focused, has a positive a “can do” attitude and who is able to think creatively. You will meet our alumni and wider community at many events and you should be experienced in dealing with the public.
The position will ideally suit a graduate who is looking to work in development, fundraising or within the charity or educational sector.
The role sits within a small team at the College and is based on-site, full time, Monday to Friday.
There will be the need to travel within the UK and to work some evenings and weekends.
Experience of the Charity and Education sector is not crucial but a working knowledge of GDPR, and the legal framework for fundraising events and administration is useful.
