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.
