The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward. The monumental events of the pandemic have drastically changed the theatre landscape and ecology, with its effects being keenly felt through unpredictable audience behaviour, and rising costs. As the nation navigates the cost-of-living crisis, the arts continue to face devastating funding cuts and challenges, including the withdrawal of much local council arts provision and the increasing competition for resources across trusts and foundations At the Gate, we have used this moment of transition to interrogate both our founding mission and what the needs of the sector are today. The Gate is now operating as a theatre producer as opposed to a venue, and seeks collaborations and partnerships in a variety of places to continue championing international voices through theatre. The Executive Director is also the Chief Executive, with responsibility for the organisational and financial health of the Gate, securing funding for programme and working closely with the Artistic team to ensure the art is kept at the heart of our strategy.

Director of Fundraising AllChild London, UK (Hybrid options available) Full-time and permanent role Salary: Highly competitive to attract an outstanding professional Help every child and young person flourish. How? Help us double our income and deepen our impact. We're a national charity with a local heartbeat - working with communities so that every child and young person can access the right support, at the right time, in the right way. Our place-based approach is rooted in early identification, trusted adult relationships, whole child/whole system support and joined-up communities. Our model has been successfully funded so far through a unique collective impact funding model across local and central government, schools and philanthropy, and we aim for a broader mix of funders who are committed to transforming their communities. As we embark on our second decade, we are ready for this next chapter: scaling our place-based model nationally and doubling our annual income from £8m to £16m+. To achieve this, we are now seeking an exceptional Director of Fundraising, who will help to design and drive a roadmap for a significant increase in philanthropy alongside the public sector engagement team. This is more than a fundraising role or a seat at the Executive Team table. It's a chance to shape strategy, influence systems, and unlock the investment needed to transform outcomes for thousands more children and young people. It will therefore take an exceptional individual to lead and deliver our income strategy across all non-government funding streams - building powerful partnerships with major donors, Trusts & Foundations and corporations. You'll define and articulate compelling cases for support, build and steward significant donor relationships, and grow a high-performing team who are ready to match this next level of our ambition. If you've personally secured transformational gifts, built teams that thrive, and know how to turn vision into strong philanthropic propositions, this is your chance and platform to enact real and lasting change. Underpinning your success in this role will be your broad and robust track record of developing attractive philanthropic opportunities, and engaging high-value donors and securing gifts at the 6-figure level or more. Your natural flair for story-telling and influencing, and approachable and collegial personal style, swiftly engenders trust from those around you. Your entrepreneurial and enterprising mindset, and highly developed interpersonal skills, will inspire confidence and motivate others to drive change. This is a very hands-on role so experience in high-growth charities will be highly desirable, and you will need to be able to navigate some ambiguity and "the new" as we grow. Whether you are securing the gift or supporting others in the success of this, most importantly, you are motivated by achieving transformative outcomes that matter. If you're driven by purpose, inspired by growth and ready to unlock transformational funding for children across the UK, we'd love to hear from you. If you're interested in hearing more, please contact our recruitment partner at Richmond Associates on (0) or you can download further details from their website: CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS 09:00 ON WEDNESDAY, 8 APRIL 2026
