Development Manager

The Tetley is seeking an experienced and skilled fundraiser to join the team as we embark on a capital development project and secure our position as Leeds centre for contemporary art. This part-time post (24 hours per week) will lead the development and delivery of The Tetley s fundraising and development strategy and support fundraising for programme and capital development, with a particular focus on trusts and foundations.

The Tetley has already developed an impressive track record in its first 9 years. Joining Arts Council England s National Portfolio in 2108, The Tetley has received international coverage of its artistic programme, with Turner Prize winner Tai Shani nominated for her exhibition at The Tetley, and won awards for its participation work with young people and communities in Leeds.

The Tetley is at the heart of the major South Bank development. Over the next few years the area will be transformed, doubling the size of Leeds city centre and creating a new park and community living and working around The Tetley. Our mission to create accessible, environmentally sound, flexible and fit-for-purpose galleries, learning and event spaces, is supported with Capital Investment from Arts Council England. The Development Manager will play a significant role in helping to secure a sustainable future and continue to develop and ensure financial health for the organisation.

The Tetley recognises, respects and values people s differences. We aim to create a workplace where diversity is valued and conditions support an individual's needs, where we devise and deliver a programme that champions diverse voices and which supports individuals who may have faced barriers to developing their creative practice, and where we work to transform inequities in our sector and in the communities we serve.

We understand that if The Tetley is to achieve these goals, our staff, trustees and the practitioners we work with need to reflect the diversity of Leeds, and to understand the interests and cultures of the individuals and communities who live here. Our jobs are open to all and we particularly welcome applications from disabled people, and people of South Asian heritage, as they are currently under-represented at The Tetley.

This is a flexible part-time role, 24 hours per week, that can be worked remotely and/or in The Tetley. Ideally the Development Manager would be able to work in The Tetley one day per week.
