Marymount International School, London is an independent day and boarding school for girls, nurturing the limitless potential of curious, motivated students (ages 11 – 18) of diverse faiths and backgrounds. Inspired by the charism of the RSHM, we proudly stand as the first all-girls’ school in the UK to adopt the International Baccalaureate curriculum, which promotes independent thought within and across a broad range of disciplines.

Background

The School is seeking an outstanding Director of Philanthropy & Community Engagement to embed a long-term culture of philanthropic support. The primary responsibilities for this important role will be to take responsibility for the School’s fundraising and to further develop Marymount’s vibrant alumnae community. This is a senior position and, as part of the Senior Management Team, the Director of Philanthropy & Community Engagement will provide leadership for, and management of, all aspects of development, fundraising and alumnae relations.

The appointee will report directly to the Headmistress and work closely with the Bursar and other members of the Senior Management Team in respect of the creation and implementation of development, fundraising and alumnae relations strategy.

This is a full-time, all year-round position. The normal hours of work will be from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday inclusive with a 45-minute unpaid lunch break each day and at such further times and for such periods as are necessary for the proper performance of duties. A degree of flexibility will be required with this post, as attendance at events after hours and on weekends will be required in accordance with the fundraising schedule.

MARYMOUNT ALUMNAE COMMUNITY

Marymount benefits from a vibrant and supportive alumnae community. The School is currently in touch with around 3,500 alumnae based in the UK and around the world.
