Applications are invited for the above post, based at our University Park campus. The University has recently closed its most successful fundraising campaign yet, Impact: The Nottingham Campaign which surpassed its extended targets to raise over £200m and to engage more than 1,000 volunteers.

The role holder will be expected to oversee that all activity is executed to professional standards by all team members.
