High School of Dundee is a values-led school with a strong commitment to opportunity, inclusion and community. Its core values of Compassion, Challenge and Collaboration shape both its culture and its approach to learning. The school is committed to ensuring that pupils feel known, supported and inspired to fulfil their potential. While academic achievement is important, the school places equal value on confidence, self-worth, curiosity, creativity and social responsibility. Founded in 1239, High School of Dundee combines a proud heritage with a modern, forward-looking outlook. It aims to equip young people to contribute positively to the world around them and to make thoughtful, values-based decisions throughout their lives. At the heart of this mission is the High School of Dundee Charitable Foundation, established in 2000 as a registered charity. The Foundation exists to widen access to a High School education by supporting talented young people who may not otherwise be able to attend due to financial circumstances. The Foundation s key objectives are: To raise funds for children who need financial assistance to take up their place at the school To raise funds to support the school in providing the best possible learning environment Through its bursary programme, the Foundation promotes social mobility, inclusion and fairness, while enriching the school community through greater diversity of background and experience. The school and Foundation also contribute more widely through community partnerships, fundraising activity and outreach work that encourages empathy, responsibility and a culture of giving back. About the Role This is a newly created opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to lead the next phase of philanthropic growth for High School of Dundee and its Charitable Foundation. The role sits within the school but works closely with the Foundation, which is a separate entity with its own Board of Trustees and lay members. All funds raised are received by the Foundation and distributed to support agreed priorities, most notably bursaries for talented young people from families who would otherwise be unable to afford school fees, as well as selected capital projects that improve the school s infrastructure and facilities. The school has not had a dedicated fundraiser in post since before COVID. In recent years, fundraising has been absorbed within other teams, with activity focused more on maintaining relationships than generating significant new income. Legacy giving has remained strong and has helped sustain the Foundation, while events such as the annual Gala Ball have continued to attract support. However, there is substantial untapped potential across alumni, parents, donors and the wider school community. At a time when independent schools are facing increased financial pressure, including the impact of VAT on tuition fees and rising delivery costs, the school has taken the strategic decision to invest in dedicated fundraising leadership. The new Head of Development will work closely with the Executive Rector, Foundation Chair and Board of Trustees to develop and deliver a new fundraising strategy for the future. The role will focus on: Growing philanthropic income across a range of streams Strengthening alumni and supporter engagement Increasing annual bursary funding from £150,000 to £500,000 over five years Delivering a first-year target of an additional £50,000 This is a standalone role, so the successful candidate will need to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. It will suit someone who is comfortable building relationships, shaping a clear plan, influencing senior stakeholders and delivering fundraising activity directly. Key Responsibilities Fundraising strategy and income generation Grow fundraised income from alumni, individuals, trusts and foundations, corporates and other friends of the school Develop a multi-income fundraising strategy in partnership with the Executive Rector, Foundation Committee and Trustees Create segmentation, cultivation, stewardship and solicitation plans for existing and prospective supporters Ensure fundraising priorities remain aligned to the school s wider strategic goals Donor and stakeholder engagement Build and maintain strong relationships with alumni, with a particular emphasis on the UK and Europe Engage alumni as ambassadors, volunteers and supporters of school priorities Work closely with groups connected to the school, including alumni committees and related networks Support senior staff, Board members and Foundation representatives in approaches to high-level donors Help identify, cultivate and steward major donor relationships Events and development activity Lead collaboration with senior staff and volunteer leaders to plan and deliver cultivation and fundraising events Support events such as lunches, dinners, personal visits and other donor engagement opportunities in Dundee and elsewhere as required Develop and deliver an alumni volunteering and ambassador programme, including support for internships, guest speakers and mentors Leadership and operational delivery Provide fundraising expertise and guidance to colleagues across the school where needed Manage the fundraising budget effectively and ensure activity is approved and delivered within budget Raise the profile and reputation of the Development function internally and externally Maintain awareness of fundraising best practice, regulatory requirements and sector developments Ensure all fundraising activity adheres to relevant professional codes and regulations Undertake other duties appropriate to the role as directed by the Executive Rector Person Specification Essential experience and knowledge Significant fundraising experience, including a track record of growing income Understanding of effective fundraising within the education sector or a comparable charitable setting Experience of working across complex organisations and managing multiple stakeholders Strong communication and engagement skills Financial management and budgeting experience Degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent professional experience Essential skills and competencies Ability to deliver against agreed income and engagement targets Strategic thinker with the ability to solve problems and turn plans into action Strong relationship-building, influencing and cross-organisational collaboration skills Confidence working with senior leaders, Trustees, volunteers and donors Ability to work calmly in a fast-paced and changing environment Strong organisational skills and attention to detail Ability to work independently, use initiative and manage ambiguity Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion Strong alignment with the values of the school and its commitment to bursary support and widening opportunity Desirable Experience in school, higher education or charity fundraising Personal experience of bursary support or a strong understanding of its impact What the School is Looking For The school is seeking someone who is both strategic and hands-on.
