Join a growing development office to help increase the number of free places for bright pupils at Hampton School. Hampton challenges and develops young minds, allowing pupils to progress as individuals in a kind and supportive environment where contributing to wider society is engrained in the culture.
Development at Hampton in its current form has been in place since the establishment of The Fitzwygram Foundation in 2016. Over this period, it has built up strong relationships within the School community and established excellent fundraising foundations.
The primary fundraising focus over recent years has been on raising funds for The Fitzwygram Foundation, to provide additional free places at the School. In total, 106 Senior School pupils are currently attending Hampton on completely free places, of which 17 are funded by the Foundation.
Our ambition, in the first phase, is to be able to fund an additional 50 free places via The Fitzwygram Foundation and this will be the focus of the development strategy and plan.This ambition is to be assessed and reviewed by the Development Director to determine realistic targets and associated expectations. Fundraising for capital projects and academic endeavours may also be part of the future fundraising plans.
Hampton is one of the countrys foremost independent schools and equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our ethos and the School has a thriving partnerships programme.
The role of Development Administrator is full time and will be based at Hampton School. The core working hours are 8.45am to 4.45pm, however, a high level of flexibility, commitment and dedication is required, as there will be some evening and weekend work to attend Fitzwygram Foundation and Alumni events.
The salary will be £28,870 and Hampton also offers an attractive benefits package including generous pension, free lunch, cycle to work scheme, fitness facilities and private health, subject to eligibility.
This role would be suitable for graduates looking to enter a career in development.
The School reserves the right to commence or complete the interview process at any time prior to the closing date so we encourage applications as soon as possible.
