The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Development Team at the world-renown BRIT School, famous for nurturing some of the UK’s most successful creative talent. Working closely with the Director of Development and Trusts & Grants Manager, the Trusts & Grants Officer will support the growth of The BRIT School’s funding from grant-making institutions.

The Development Team at The BRIT School is focused and experienced, with colleagues having worked in award-winning not-for-profits and national arts centres. Consisting of the Director of Development and colleagues focused on Corporate, Philanthropy, Trusts & Grants, the Team’s work is supported by a strong Senior Leadership Team and motivated Board of Trustees.
With current / recent institutional funders including Garfield Weston Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, Arts Council England, Dr. Martens Foundation and Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation - amongst many others - it is an exciting and unique organisation, bringing together world-class education with the creative industries.
You and The BRIT School
This is an exciting time to join The BRIT School team, as we continue to build on our successful trusts and grants programme and the momentum of recent years.
Joining us as Trusts & Grants Officer, you will be at the heart of our efforts to #keepBRITspecial, helping the School to realise its plans and ambitions.
We are looking for someone who has a passion for the ethos and ambition of The BRIT School.
As a member of an impactful team, you’ll have the autonomy, responsibility and freedom to bring your own creativity, drive and skills to the role, and to make an impact… not only on our fundraising ambitions, but on the lives of the young artists we support.
We would welcome candidates who are looking to move into trusts fundraising from other fundraising backgrounds, or relevant sales environments. We are supportive of - and happy to consider - flexible working arrangements, including hybrid/home working.
The BRIT School is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, which is the bedrock of our ethos and values.
We look forward to receiving your application, and we hope to meet you soon.
