The Queen’s College
Founded in 1341 by Robert Eglesfield, Rector of Burgh and Chaplain to Queen Philippa, The Queen’s College has a strong commitment to academic values, whilst preserving an informal and friendly atmosphere. The College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford and, with Dr Claire Craig as its Provost, it comprises around 100 Fellows and lecturers, 160 graduates and 330 undergraduates. There are about 100 support staff working in roles such as administration, housekeeping, catering and maintenance.
The College’s historic site is in the centre of Oxford. Four other sites, all within one mile of the main site, provide additional undergraduate and graduate accommodation. Information about the College is available on the website: www.queens.ox.ac.uk. The College is a lively multi-disciplinary and international community.
The Department
Since 2005 the Old Members’ Office has been at the forefront of Queen's desires and efforts to build its relationship with its 7,000 Old Members located in the UK and around the world. Over the past two years we have increased our focus and professionalism in major gifts and legacy/planned giving and in 2022 we began creating a new, multi-channel regular giving programme.
Queen’s is building on a solid track record of securing substantial and sustained philanthropic support from alumni and friends of the College. In the past five years, for example, we have completed a multi-million pound capital campaign to build the New Library to complement our historic Upper and Lower Libraries; have permanently endowed a significant proportion of our Tutorial Fellowships, scholarships and bursaries; have received a number of six- and seven-figure legacy bequests to support key academic and student support priorities; and we continue to steward and work closely with other donors to provide annual funding for key areas such as access and outreach, student support, and academic fellowships and programmes.
Our potential to achieve even more with our regular giving fundraising is clear, however, and we want to hear from development professionals who are keen to apply their motivation, creativity and initiative to help us reach out to current and potential donors throughout the year.
The Successful Candidate and the Role
The Regular Giving Officer sits in the Old Members’ Office and the role will be well suited for a development professional looking to channel their creativity, love of data and analytical skills into a programme that consistently connects our Old Members around the world with the College and its fundraising priorities.
Over the past two years our regular giving programme has started to include a blend of print mailings, digital appeals and an highly successful Giving Day. Soon we will re-activate our Telethon as another means by which to highlight the importance of regular giving (via the Queen’s Society) and communicate to donors the impact their gifts are having on the College.
The Regular Giving Officer will be the key point of contact for Queen’s Society members and prospects, and to help grow the identity and membership of the Society you will have responsibility (and support) for delivering Queen’s Society-specific events that steward existing members and attract new ones.
Succeeding in the Role
Personal confidence and integrity are key attributes and we are looking for someone who will help us promote them in our team. We also place a high value on camaraderie and celebrating each other’s successes; we recognise the integral part each team member plays in helping all of us move forward as an office.
