Schools Programme Manager

The Clore Duffield Foundation is looking for somebody who makes great things happen to develop and lead our exciting new programme of support for school trips. Our ideal candidate loves a challenge, understands what makes schools tick and cares deeply about making a difference for children. They should be persuasive and proactive, enjoy working collaboratively and have excellent relationship building skills. They will hit the ground running and join a small but knowledgeable staff team committed to ensuring all children and young people have the chance to enjoy art, culture and heritage.

The Clore Duffield Foundation has been distributing funds to charities since 1964. Founded by Sir Charles Clore, the Foundation is now chaired by his daughter, Dame Vivien Duffield. It supports UK charities working in the arts, education, social welfare and health. Of particular concern is developing programmes and partnerships to create opportunities for people through art, culture and heritage in the UK, to ensure artistic talent is nurtured and supported wherever it exists and that careers in the cultural sector are open to all.

The Foundation continues its flagship Clore Learning Space programme and has new partnerships with Ark Schools, the National Saturday Club and Art Fund to further these aims. Trustees would like to develop a programme of support for cultural enrichment school trips. Building on learning from a pilot in Glasgow, The Foundation have developed plans for school trips support and are now seeking a Schools Programme Manager to work with the Director to establish and run the programme.
