Job Summary
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is looking for a Development Officer (Events & Membership) to join the team.
Job Description
Join the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment at one of the most unusual and inspiring workplaces in the arts: a world class orchestra based inside a north London comprehensive school. As our Development Officer (Events & Membership), you'll help nurture the community of passionate supporters who keep the OAE's music, education work and pioneering school residency thriving. From dreaming up engaging supporter events to crafting thoughtful communications and keeping our Friends programme running smoothly, you'll be right at the heart of the orchestra's story. This is a hands on role in a small, energetic team where no two days look the same. One moment you might be greeting donors at a Southbank Centre concert; the next, organising a Friends' open rehearsal in the School's iconic assembly hall or shaping content for our supporters' magazine. If you're a confident communicator with an eye for detail, a love of the arts and a desire to work somewhere genuinely distinctive, this is a rare chance to make a real impact in a friendly, mission driven organisation. This role is primarily office based with some opportunity to work from home.
