Brentwood College School - Alumni Relations Coordinator 

This key member of the Advancement & Alumni Relations team is responsible for the strategic and tactical management of the alumni relations programme.  S/he provides support to the Old Brentonians' Executive and committees, as well as planning and implementing all alumni events, branch activities, affinity programmes, mentoring and networking opportunities, communications and special events.  The Alumni Relations Coordinator maintains strong connections with the alumni through the internship programme and various outreach initiatives including the alumni content for the School magazine, the alumni e-newsletter, the alumni website, and social media.  The optimal goal is the development of a lifelong meaningful relationship between Brentwood and its alumni, and to leverage all relationships and events to maximize fundraising potential.

This full-time permanent role at our office in Victoria involves identifying and profiling prospective supporters of SALTS and then initiating and cultivating relationships between them and SALTS. Prospective supporters include individuals, families, foundations, corporations, and some government sources. The role requires a high level of skill with computers and administration, combined with excellent relationship-building skills. Proposal or grant writing skills will also be an asset. This manager will represent our Christian mission and programs to the public and will uphold the society, staff, programs and clients in prayer, lead Christian devotions when called upon, and to be a personal example of the mission and values of the Society (as stated in the paragraph above this one). Experience with or knowledge of the SALTS program would be an asset but is not a requirement. An extensive personal and professional network in Victoria would be an asset but is not a requirement. The best candidate may turn out to be a fairly recent SALTS program participant who has the right personality and gifting for the job but limited experience, or a seasoned development person who has a passion for our mission and methods. We will not be hiring an external fundraising consultant--we will be hiring a full-time staff member who completely integrates with our staff team, based at our office from 8 am to 5 pm, Monday to Friday (with travel and visitation of course, and occasional evening/weekend work with time off in lieu). Individuals seeking a temporary or short-term position should not apply.
