Base pay range

Prospect Development Assistant

At the University of Southampton, our aim is to change the world for the better, bringing together realms of academic research, creativity and knowledge to have a truly collaborative, immersive and ground-breaking impact. We care about the challenges that humanity is facing, and work to support others on a local and global scale.

In the Office of Development & Alumni Relations (ODAR), our job is to galvanise our community to solve these challenges and to make a difference. Would you like this to be your job too?

About the role

The Prospect Development Assistant will provide a varied range of administrative and research support to the Prospect Development team. This will include being an active part of all aspects of the team’s activity, from the management of information, through to customer service support for our internal users.

The wider Prospect Development team’s function within ODAR is to create a diverse pipeline of fundraising prospects for our fundraisers. In support of this, the role will also collaborate closely with the fundraising team to ensure relevant researched constituents enjoy positive engagement through effective and crucial administration.

About you

We are looking for a proactive individual, with a range of administrative skills. You will be a great communicator who is confident, whilst being well-organised. You will have a good eye for detail and be solution-driven. You will have a willingness to learn new skills, whilst managing a busy and varied workload. We want you to feel you offer fresh ideas to help enhance all aspects of our work.

About Us

We are planning our first University-wide fundraising and engagement campaign. Together, we want to raise more money and engage more alumni and friends with Southampton so that we can change the world. And with the full support and investment of our University leadership, we are growing our team over the next few years. We are so excited.

We need people with intellectual curiosity and different ideas. We need people with direct experience or transferable skills and the interest and drive to take on a new challenge. We are actively determined to welcome a diverse group of colleagues into our inclusive team. Every day will be different, you will meet incredible people, and the rewards will be huge.

Imagine fundraising for medical technologies that could cure cancer or dementia. Or engaging a volunteer who can help a student improve their graduate prospects. Or connecting alumni around the world and reawakening important friendships and partnerships. Or seeing the look on a student’s face when they learn they will be the first person in their family to attend University—because of a scholarship that you secured. That could be you.

The only thing holding us back is more talented people. This could be a career-defining and remarkable opportunity.

Help us change the world. Join us.

What can we offer you?

We recognise that our staff are at the heart of what we do, so we have a generous benefits package. Our hybrid working approach helps you with your work-life balance and offers you the chance to split your time between the office (at least once or twice a week in Southampton) and home working.

Thank you for your interest in joining our team.
