Development Officer

Christ Church has a large and thriving alumni base of more than 9,000 members. Major resources have been invested in development activities since the mid-1990s, with important results for the institution’s long-term financial security and ability to invest in its students. As the 500th anniversary in 2025 approaches, Christ Church remains committed to widening access through outreach activities, increasing student financial support, sustaining the tutorial system, preserving historic buildings and attracting world-class scholars. The Development Office plays a crucial role in raising funds in support of those important priorities.

The successful candidate will bring a proven track record of success within fundraising, and will have demonstrated the ability to build strong and lasting professional relationships. This would be an ideal role for someone with annual fund experience wishing to take the next step in their career. Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills are sought, along with the energy and resilience to be a self-starter and motivating individual with an aptitude to work independently but also as part of a team. The ideal candidate will bring strong organisational and time management skills and be adept at managing information and scrutinising data. A willingness to travel is essential, both within and beyond the UK.
