This is an exciting time to join The Purcell School as we embark on a new fundraising strategy. We are seeking a Development Officer to play an integral role in supporting our ambitious aims and objectives. This is an exceptional opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated individual, looking to start or build on their career in fundraising and development .
