Brunel University is looking for an experienced fundraiser to join our small and friendly Development and Alumni Relations team.

Fundraising from trusts, foundations, selected corporations and wealthy individuals is a fundamental part of our strategy and we are looking for someone who can build on solid foundations and prospect research to deliver increasing amounts of income from these sources. This will entail working with existing supporters and projects, but also expanding the University’s relationships network and matching potential donors to suitable projects.

The Development Officer will report to the Director of Development, but will be required to work well on their own initiative and to enjoy the hands-on approach and variety of work that comes with working as part of a small team within a large and complex organisation.

Ideally suiting someone with experience in a fundraising or marketing role in Higher Education, this job might also appeal to someone with a corporate background or experience with charitable trusts.

For informal enquiries, please contact Clive Gee, Director of Development Alumni Relations on clive.gee@brunel.ac.uk

Closing date: 17^th February 2012
