UNIVERSITY OF NORTHAMPTON

Major and Corporate Gifts Manager

Park Campus

Full Time Permanent

Salary: £38,833 - £47,722 per annum

The University of Northampton’s focus on social impact means that our fundraising strategy is designed to raise money to support talented people, of all ages, to benefit from the educational and development opportunities we provide, whatever their economic and social circumstances. Therefore, this new post of Major and Corporate Gifts Manager at the University of Northampton offers a unique opportunity for an ambitious and determined individual to make a major contribution to social mobility through fundraising. Working with the Vice Chancellor, and all other members of the senior management team, the Major and Corporate Gifts Manager will create and implement campaigns for current and prospective donors.

You will have excellent relationship management skills, with the ability to motivate and inspire others, including University leaders, and will demonstrate a personal commitment to ethical fundraising to support social change.

Working closely with, and supported by, the Executive Dean: Research, Impact and Enterprise, and the Advancement Team, you will play a key role in delivering the University’s mission of Transforming Lives and Inspiring Change.

You are invited to contact Professor Simon Denny to arrange an informal discussion about the role and the opportunities it offers.

The University of Northampton’s focus on a personalised learning experience for our students was recently cited by HEFCE as a reason for our Gold award in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2017. To augment this approach further we have adopted an ‘Active Blended Learning’ (ABL) approach which places greater emphasis on student-centred activities that support the development of subject knowledge, understanding, independent learning and digital fluency. When you are applying for academic posts at the University of Northampton you will be expected to adopt ABL as standard in their teaching practice.

This is an exciting time to join our University as we prepare to relocate in September 2018 to a new purpose-built, town-centre campus designed to adapt to 21st century teaching and the ABL model. We are looking to recruit individuals who share our passion for innovation, creativity and social impact and who will play a key role as we realise our ambition of transforming lives for the better and inspiring positive change.

The University of Northampton is one of only two Ashoka U Changemaker Campuses in the UK, and in 2017 was awarded the Social Enterprise Gold Mark, an independent guarantee that we have proven to our employees, students and stakeholders that we are committed to continuous improvement across our business in order to consistently deliver a positive impact on people and planet.

All candidates will be asked to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK at interview. Due to the requirements laid out by UK Visas and Immigration regarding Right to Work in the UK, the University can only accept applications from individuals who currently have a status allowing them to work in the UK for this position. Due to this criteria we regret that we are unable to offer sponsorship at this time.
