Description
ESMS is a thriving family of independent schools, set in beautiful grounds in the heart of Edinburgh. It is a vibrant community where extraordinary opportunities and inspirational teachers help children to discover their own unique potential. Established over 150 years ago, ESMS is now proud to be one of the leading schools in Scotland, teaching 2700 students, from 3 to 18.
Development has been a critical part of ESMS for 15 years. During that time over £5m has been raised for the ‘Access to Excellence’ campaign (for bursaries) and a community of over 14,000 alumni and stakeholders has been built and supported.
Following the retirement of the previous Director of Development, ESMS now seeks a highly experienced and creative development professional to lead fundraising and stakeholder relations into a new era. The Director of Development will build on the excellent work already undertaken in establishing Development at ESMS to create and deliver a development plan and function to support the strategic vision of the new Principal (previously the Head of Stewart’s Melville College). The successful candidate will report to the Principal and can look forward to working in a collaborative, friendly and highly supportive environment.
The role requires the creativity, knowledge and experience to realise the fundraising potential and the leadership skills to manage complex stakeholder relations in a multi-school environment. Ultimately you will build on the strength and scale of the ESMS community to bring significant benefit to the schools and local families.
Experience of working in an educational environment is not essential, but candidates will be supportive of independent education in general and the ESMS ethos in particular.
An excellent remuneration package is offered reflecting the seniority and significance of the position.
