Trainer Requirements

We would expect all trainers to demonstrate the following skills and experience:

• A comprehensive, up-to-date knowledge of arts and cultural fundraising, drawn from recent hands-on experience of successful fundraising at a senior level within a range of arts and cultural organisations.  It will be expected that the trainer will demonstrate a high level of knowledge and expertise for the specific area(s) in which they wish to deliver training;
• A knowledge of the similarities and differences in arts and cultural fundraising across different arts forms, geographic regions and scales of organisations, and between arts and cultural fundraising and wider charitable fundraising;
• A successful track record in delivering high quality training to groups of arts and cultural professionals;
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a confident ability to use digital resources;
• Excellent organisation and planning skills; demonstrated both through working as an individual and as part of a team.

We would welcome bids from trainers of all backgrounds to reflect the diversity of artists and audiences for art and culture across England. Our definition of diversity encompasses responding to issues around race, ethnicity, faith, disability, age, gender, sexuality, class and economic disadvantage and any social and institutional barriers that prevent people from creating, participating or enjoying art and culture.
