The Fundraising Manager at Lauderdale House
The Fundraising Manager at Lauderdale House is an exciting new role, designed to build on the foundation of previous fundraising initiatives in order to develop a consistent income stream and broaden our income base, primarily from trusts, foundations, individual giving and legacies. The creation of this role is the next strategic step in the development of the organisation itself, ensuring that Lauderdale House can continue to make a real difference locally and extend our charitable impact.
Lauderdale House
Lauderdale House is a fascinating Grade II* historic house, brought to life as an arts and education centre with activities taking place over 360 days a year. A core part of the House is our education programmes in secondary schools, taking creative practitioners into the classroom to augment the curriculum and explore human rights, the environment and Tudor culture. Alongside this runs a free programme, including weekly sessions at the local youth club, lunchtime concerts and family activities. The Fundraising Manager will play a crucial role in supporting the House's education and outreach programme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
