A world-class vocal ensemble, Ex Cathedra leads the choral sector in the fields of performance, learning and wellbeing. Thanks to a recent donation, we are able to create this new role for a skilled fundraiser to join our team to help us identify, recruit and manage a pipeline of individual donors capable of giving upwards of £5,000 to support Ex Cathedra’s agreed strategic priorities. You will join a supportive, dedicated staff team, which includes an Individual Giving Officer and freelance trusts fundraiser plus access to an external mentor if desirable.
At Ex Cathedra, we believe that the benefits of singing are for everyone, and seek to reach and engage as many people as possible through outstanding vocal experiences. We do this by exploring, commissioning and performing the finest choral music, nurturing young singers, and delivering an extensive, inspirational learning and wellbeing offer for participants of all ages – engaging 80,000+ people every year in a range of venues, schools, hospitals and communities, including through our acclaimed Singing Schools and Singing Medicine projects.
It is an exciting time to join Ex Cathedra and shape this new role. Over the next 5 years we will celebrate the legacy of founder Jeffrey Skidmore OBE and welcome a new artistic director. We are enjoying audience growth, our projects are being recognised at Award ceremonies, and we already have an established individual giving scheme which we hope you will help us grow.
We are looking for someone who:
* enjoys building meaningful relationships with donors and potential donors
* has a genuine passion for vocal music and the arts, and wants to make a positive impact on the lives of our audiences and project beneficiaries
* can demonstrate experience in an equivalent role
We’d love to hear from you, and welcome informal pre-application conversations.
The role is offered at 3 days or 22.5 hours per week, but we are open to some flexibility.
Application deadline: Thursday 1 May, 5pm
