Development and Projects Assistant

Role Description

In 2023, we launched a ten-year vision to transform Alexandra Park and Palace into a sustainable home for inspirational culture, creative and educational opportunities and green space. We are now beginning work to deliver an ambitious Strategic Plan and capital fundraising campaign to help achieve our goals.

The Development and Projects Assistant will support work to secure donations from charitable trusts, foundations and government supporters to the campaign and support the delivery of both building and strategy projects.

Working closely with both the Head of Development and Head of Strategic Projects and Planning, you’ll be joining a growing team with the opportunity to shape your role and make a real impact on both the future of Alexandra Palace and the North London communities we serve. Skills gained in this role could help you to build a career in fundraising, project delivery or in assessing the social impact of heritage and culture.

Your work will help us to:

1. restore and reopen derelict spaces in the Victorian Palace for everyone to enjoy
2. improve key areas of the Park for both people and wildlife (including playgrounds, wetlands, wayfinding)
3. deliver our creative learning and wellbeing programmes, using the Palace’s amazing spaces and programme to make change with and for local communities
4. take forward our ambitious programme to help Ally Pally reach Net Zero

We look to recruit a strong administrator excited to learn and make change. We will consider applicants with previous experience in fundraising or project management in arts and heritage organisations, or transferable skills from customer-facing and administrative roles in other industries.
