Job Description

permanent

Situated on a 100-acre campus in Elstree, just 13 miles from central London - Haberdashers’ Elstree Schools comprise two of the UK’s leading independent day schools: Habs Boys and Habs Girls. Each school operates as a through-school for pupils aged 4 to 18 and offers a distinctive, academically ambitious education within a shared setting - blending tradition with innovation.

We are seeking a dynamic and inspiring Director of Development to build on the strong foundations and successful legacy established by the current postholder and help shape the next chapter in the School’s story. Philanthropy lies at the heart of Habs’, with a proud tradition of giving that supports bursaries for pupils in financial need and helps ensure that a Habs’ education remains accessible to talented young people from all backgrounds. The joint Development Foundation for Habs’ Boys’ and Habs’ Girls’ continues to strengthen this spirit of generosity, broadening participation in school life and fostering a culture of community and connection.

The next Director of Development will be a motivated, relationship-driven professional who leads every aspect of the Development function — from alumni engagement and community relations to philanthropic fundraising and major gifts — ensuring that these efforts align with the Schools’ shared vision and values. This is an influential role, requiring someone who can be an authentic ambassador for both the Schools and the Haberdashers’ Company, engaging warmly and effectively with parents, staff, alumni, and friends of Habs’.

Direct experience in education is not essential, and we welcome applications from skilled fundraising professionals across a range of sectors. Most importantly, candidates will bring a deep belief in the power of education to transform lives, and a genuine commitment to the values and purpose of independent schools within society.

To download further information on the role or to apply, please visit quoting ‘8114’. The deadline for applications is 08:30 BST on Thursday 6th November.
