UCL Department / Division: UCL Advancement

Grade: 7

Hours: Full Time

Salary (inclusive of London allowance): £36,770 - £44,388 (including London Allowance)

Duties and Responsibilities

We are UCL: a diverse community with the freedom to challenge and think differently. From cancer research to climate change, dementia to social inequality, the world is facing huge challenges and we’re determined to solve them.

There has never been a more exciting time to join Advancement, as we continue rapid growth in philanthropy and alumni engagement at UCL. We are a team of exceptionally ambitious and passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact. We would love for you to be part of this exciting journey.

Equity, diversity and inclusion is important to us. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone is encouraged to give their best in a place where their unique experiences, perspectives and skills are seen as valuable assets. We particularly welcome applications from people of colour.

Key requirements

You’ll have exceptional communication skills with a proven ability to write inspiring, clear and concise content, bringing complex facts and concepts to life for a sophisticated but lay audience. You’ll work collaboratively with colleagues across the UCL community to develop compelling donor propositions that marry donor interests with UCL’s strategic goals. Working on multiple projects to tight deadlines, while maintaining the highest editorial standards is essential.

We are pleased to accept applications from individuals who possess transferable skills and experience drawn from sectors outside of Higher Education. And from those with experience writing in areas of relevance to UCL fundraising activity (health, STEM, climate science and sustainability).

Further Details

We are happy to consider applications from candidates seeking part-time opportunities (minimum 0.8 FTE – equivalent of 4 days per week, stated salary to be pro-rata).

We know that our people are our greatest asset and in return we provide an empowering, values-based environment where personal and professional growth is invested in. We offer agile working and flexibility around working hours. Working with some of the greatest intellects in the world, UCL also offers a generous pension scheme and holiday allowance, plus closure and bank holidays.
