DEVELOPMENT MANAGER | WYCOMBE ABBEY

Wycombe Abbey is a world leader in girls’ boarding education and a place where academic excellence, empathy and integrity thrive.

The Development Manager will be instrumental in strengthening our ties with our pupils, our alumnae (Seniors), parents, and friends. Our relationships, built with integrity and transparency, are at the heart of the work of the Development Office.

Our commercial activities have expanded with the launch of Wycombe Abbey International and a summer programme on campus. Our ambitious academic, recreational and pastoral advancement plans can only be realised with increased philanthropic investment. This investment is a crucial part of shaping the future of Wycombe Abbey.

This past year, philanthropy has allowed us to support means-tested bursaries, build a golf simulator, sponsor a worldwide maths competition, and promote our pupils' positive mental health through an online Wellbeing Hub. Parents of our Clarence Leavers (Sixth Form) generously donated their deposits to support bursaries and various projects this year.

Philanthropic investment has allowed us to start imagining new buildings, including the Innovation & Design Centre, improved facilities, and a renewed campus that reflects the world class programme and provisions for which we are recognised.

The future generosity of our parents, Seniors and friends will allow us to unlock further opportunities that will benefit every pupil at Wycombe Abbey, including raising the level of support for means-tested bursaries and continuing development across our magnificent conservation-listed grounds. The Development Manager role is a key appointment that will allow us to pursue our aspirations.

This is an opportunity to join a creative, ambitious and dedicated small team committed to building community and growing philanthropic investment at an exciting time in the history of the School. You will join a community full of energy, joy, intellectual curiosity, and opportunity.

Salary up to ￡48,000 depending on skills and experience.
