This is an exciting time for the External Relations department. We have worked hard to create a consistently positive experience for students and their families before, during and after their time at Freemen’s. There is still more to do, and we are seeking a Level 3 Fundraising Apprentice who will play a key role in supporting our Alumni and Development team.

 

No two days are the same: you can expect variety, new opportunities and the occasional challenge - all of which we face together, with good humour, mutual support and a genuine team spirit.

 

The successful candidate will thrive in a collaborative environment. While each of us has our own areas of responsibility, we pitch in and support one another whenever needed, working collectively to ensure the continued success and growth of the External Relations function. Any new team member can expect encouragement, guidance and support at every stage.

 

The City of London Corporation is committed to Equal Opportunities and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
