Head of Development (Fundraising)

Queer Britain Museum is the UK's national LGBTQ+ museum with a mission to reclaim, preserve and inspire LGBTQ+ history and culture.

We reopened our galleries in February following a two-month refurbishment and unveiled an entirely new exhibition programme. You can see our recent appearance on BBC News here .

We have a five-year strategic plan in place, including a five-year programming plan. We're looking for an experienced fundraiser to become our Head of Development to help us maintain and grow our philanthropic support.

We operate without any public funding - we are generously supported by our brilliant members, donors and sponsors. Fundraising accounts for 75% of our income, with the remaining 25% earned from trading activities.

Our ideal candidate would be:

• A fundraiser with at least 3-years experience in professional fundraising, within either the arts, culture, heritage sector or with an LGBTQ+ organisation

• Experienced with major gifts and working with individual philanthropists

Perhaps you are currently a manager, and looking for your first leadership role in fundraising; or an experienced fundraiser looking to move to an organisation that puts storytelling through lived experience at the heart of everything we do.

The offer is a salary of £41,840 for full-time, but we are open to discussing part-time with the right candidate. We work flexibly with an expectation of being onsite at least 3 days per week (all of our staff are onsite on Wednesdays).
