Development Manager 0.6

This is an amazing opportunity to join the Development Team at one of the best known and most exciting Schools in the UK. As the country’s first School for performing, creative and digital arts - free for all children - The BRIT School is world renown for the famous alumni that have been nurtured here over the past 27 years. But we are much more than that, with nine art forms taught - from Community Arts Practice to Interactive Digital Design – and alumni reaching every corner of the creative industries.

With government funding cuts affecting arts education across the UK, we are running a fundraising campaign to keep The BRIT School – an exempt charity - the special place it has become. We have had some fantastic fundraising successes to date – including from FTSE 100 companies, major donors and respected institutions - and we are now growing the Development Team to maximise opportunities to secure funding for the people, the productions and the facilities that make The BRIT School so special.

With a focus around maximising opportunities for engaging companies in supporting our work – from sponsorship to CSR donations – this role is ideal for someone who has passion for breaking down barriers to the arts for young people, and is keen to join a School that stands out from the crowd. You will be able to demonstrate excellent track record in fundraising from companies in particular. But we are also keen to welcome applications from those keen to move sectors who have strong relevant transferable skills. 

The BRIT School runs a 5 Term academic year with some school holidays falling at different times to the usual Local Authority school breaks.  Please see our web site for further details of our term dates.
