This is a truly exciting time to be joining the Haberdashers’ Monmouth family following the launch of its fully co-educational school in September 2024. Through the support of the Haberdashers’ Company and the strength of the William Jones endowment, the School has invested significantly in its fabric to create first-class, contemporary facilities which will deliver a distinctive education for years to come. The Haberdashers’ Advantage programme and the four pillars of Sport, Performing Arts, Design and Textiles and Sustainability combine now to create a unique provision, providing its students with an education that stays with them for life.

The Executive Head is now looking to appoint a Development Director to spearhead significant growth of the development office to support the School’s ambitious plans for impactful bursary provision and major capital works to enhance the learning environment. The Development Director will report to the Executive Head and sit on the School’s Executive Team, working closely with other senior leaders and the Board of Governors towards the School’s aims and objectives.

The next Development Director will bring a proven track record of raising money over a sustained period and be a proactive self-starter comfortable working with a range of constituents. The successful candidate will need to be a natural relationship-builder with the capacity to design and implement a compelling and effective development strategy for a growing school. This person will be dynamic and tenacious in their approach and wholly committed to helping to lead the school community into its next chapter. Applications are welcome from a variety of sectors but strong candidates are likely to be proven fundraising professionals with a demonstrable track record of delivering five and six-figure major gifts.

Letters of application and CVs should be submitted by the closing date, 09.00 GMT on Monday 10 March.
