Could you be the driving force to elevate and accelerate fundraising, as Theatre by the Lake’s first ever Head of Development?
Theatre by the Lake’s vision is to produce work that enriches the lives of everyone in Cumbria, and see theatre made in Cumbria celebrated on the national stage. It’s a truly unique place to work, from a stunning location overlooking Derwentwater in the heart of the Lake District.
From its origins and rich history as the Blue Box, Theatre by the Lake was willed into existence by the local community. 25 years later the Theatre continues to consolidate its role as a vital community asset, embarking on a new strategic direction which places emphasis on social value and an inherent connection to place.
About the role
This is a new, pivotal role in the organisation, working closely with the Executive Director and Senior Management colleagues, to develop, embed, and drive forward a strategic approach to fundraising.
You’ll lead a significant step-change in the charity’s approach to philanthropy – articulating a compelling Case for Support, and using the Theatre’s 25th Anniversary Year (2024-2025) to implement a new fundraising strategy.
With broad scope and potential to increase impact across all fundraising income streams (Individuals, Corporates, and Trusts & Foundations), this could be a fantastic opportunity to widen your portfolio and take on strategic responsibility.
This is the organisation’s first leadership-level fundraising role. You’ll be supported by a passionate team of colleagues from across the organisation, plus dedicated volunteers. There’s real opportunity to grow income… and potentially a fundraising team in the future.
