Head of Individual Giving (maternity cover)

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment £48,000 Closing date 11 January 2026
The OAE is recruiting a fixed-term Head of Individual Giving as maternity cover from early March 2026.

Our Development team raises over £1m annually. The Head of Individual Giving will play a vital role in securing funds towards this target and be responsible for all Individual Giving, including our popular Patrons and Friends programmes.

The successful candidate will raise funds to support the OAE’s concert activity, education work and our pioneering residency in Acland Burghley School. In this role you will line manage the two Development Officers and you will work closely with the Development Director, the rest of the Development team and the CEO.

The OAE has a loyal and generous family of individual supporters, and you will manage the delivery of high-quality stewardship for these supporters through communications, regular meeting and special events, including a Gala, celebrating OAE’s 40th anniversary in June 2026. You will also work with the Development and wider OAE team, as well as Trustees and players, to build a network of prospective supporters, introducing them to the OAE’s work through concerts, visits to Acland Burghley School and supporters’ events.
