Development Manager

London Bubble is seeking to employ a Development Manager to build and diversify support for our growing work in the community.

The role will principally have responsibility for researching and identifying trusts, foundations and public funding prospects and creating persuasive applications for both projects and core funding. With some exciting projects planned for the year and beyond, the Development Manager will play an important role in helping them come to fruition and in helping to determine future priorities.

You will be inspired by the work we do - creating theatre involving community and community involving theatre, and would want to inspire others to connect with it.

You will be a completer/ finisher, who takes pride in their ability to deliver on agreed plans. Your love for writing funding applications will be matched by a proven ability to achieve challenging income targets and to develop new relationships.

London Bubble is a theatre company based in Rotherhithe. We have been making theatre for and with Londoners of all ages for 40 years. Our aim is to inspire and encourage Londoners to watch, participate in and learn through theatre.

We operate mainly in Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich. We deliver a programme of work built around the sharing of stories. The techniques employed aim to engender well-being and an enjoyment of communication and community. We achieve this in three ways: through delivering projects in schools and youth centres, through running participatory workshops for children, young people and adults, and through creating public performance events that attract a mixed audience.
