We need to increase our annual income so that we can continue to grow and develop the partnerships that will enable us to deliver the permanent Migration Museum in the next 3-5 years.

This role will involve researching and identifying funding opportunities, writing funding applications, narrative and financial reports, stewarding donor relationships and assisting with conceiving and delivering cultivation events and campaigns. The role will also entail implementing strategic communications to ensure that the museum’s supporters and potential supporters are fully aware of the museum’s outputs and achievements, and of the many ways in which they can provide support through funding, collaboration or amplifying our message.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of and enthusiasm for fundraising in a relevant setting. They will have exceptional written communication, presentation and interpersonal skills, be confident producing and interpreting financial information, self-directed and with attention to detail.
