Capital Campaign Manager – NOW CLOSED
Newhampton Arts Centre is looking for an experienced fundraiser to join our executive team at this exciting time in our capital redevelopment programme.
Our historic site, the former Wolverhampton Municipal Grammar School, is one of Wolverhampton’s most recognisable buildings and sits on a key entry point to the city centre. After thirty years as NAC, we are embarking on a process of renewal and redevelopment across our site to make it fit for the twenty-first century as the city’s creative hub.
The Capital Campaign Manager will work alongside the CEO and Chair to drive our campaign to secure the next 30 years of creativity onsite for the city of Wolverhamptons.
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.
