Newhampton Arts Centre (NAC) is a busy community arts centre in the Whitmore Reans area of Wolverhampton. NAC has a year-round programme of live events (music, theatre, spoken word, family shows) and almost 30 weekly courses and classes. It is also home to a community of resident creative and community organisations and artists, including two recording studios, visual artists, adult training providers and a tattooist. Our mix of live music from artists like The Wedding Present, Turin Brakes, Gaz Coombes and Mahalia, our contemporary jazz and folk music programmes, together with work for families and courses and classes makes NAC an exciting place to work.

Newhampton Arts Centre is looking for a Fundraising Officer to work with the Chief Executive, programming team and Community Arts Development Officer to develop new sources of funding to support the Centre’s growing programme of live events, classes and participatory programmes.

NAC has a robust business plan that enabled it to survive the pandemic. We are not looking for a bid-writer to shore up the bottom line, but one who can be part of the next phase of NAC’s development and help us increase the number of people we reach, and the quality and range of our programmes.

NAC is currently a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England and the fundraiser will be building on a strong track record in recent years that has seen NAC secure funding from Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Architectural Heritage Foundation, Eveson Trust and others.

It’s an exciting time to be joining NAC. As well as a programme of work that runs to 2026, we are in the early stages of a major capital redevelopment of the site and the post-holder will have a key role in shaping the NAC of 2040.
