This programme has been designed to meet the needs of experienced fundraisers who are in any of the following positions:
- Have recently taken on a role with both line management and strategic responsibility.
- Are keen to progress to a genuine management and leadership role.
- Want to explore whether a leadership position (e.g. Head of or Director of Fundraising) is one they want to pursue.
This programme offers the unique opportunity for you to raise and answer fundamental leadership questions, develop the skills you need to take your career to the next level and build a network of peers to support you along the way.
The programme is made up of five sessions. Each session will be one full day per month. Participants need to attend every session virtually for the full day, 9:30 - 17:00.
Throughout the programme participants will be asked to consider their development objectives and reflect on progress.
The sessions will involve hearing from guest speakers, such as current Directors of Fundraising from both large and small organisations, who will share insights on the role. Other guest speakers are likely to include former Directors of Fundraising, who have progressed to CEOs, and recruitment consultants who specialise in hiring Directors of Fundraising.
