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. 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).
