Development Assistant

As we celebrate our 125th anniversary, Wigmore Hall is beginning an ambitious new chapter in its fundraising journey, and we are looking for a proactive, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic Development Assistant to join our team.

Each season, we seek to raise around £3.5 million to support world-class concerts and innovative artistic projects, and deliver impactful community programmes.

In this vital role, you’ll help maintain and manage donor data, provide outstanding service to our members and supporters, and support the day-to-day running of a busy Development team.
