Senior Development Officer – Maternity Cover and Permanent Role

About us

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust brings people together across the UK to remember the Holocaust, learn from the past, and challenge prejudice today.

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January. We commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions more murdered under Nazi persecution. We also learn and commemorate where persecution led in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

Through national commemoration and year-round education, we protect the legacy of the Holocaust against denial and distortion, and help build a society rooted in empathy, understanding and respect.

The role

We are looking for two Senior Development Officers (one full-time permanent and one maternity cover) to play a key role in growing our income and supporting the delivery of our work across the UK.

This is an opportunity to contribute to nationally significant work, building relationships with funders and helping ensure Holocaust Memorial Day continues to reach communities, organisations and individuals across the country and to play a direct role in growing support for this work.

Who are we looking for? 

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust is for everyone, and we are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our society.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and experiences, and particularly encourage candidates from communities that are underrepresented in our workforce, including people from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and disabled people.

We are especially interested in people who share our values—empathy, understanding and respect—and who are motivated to use remembrance and education to challenge prejudice and help build a more compassionate future.

Please note we are not in a position to sponsor visas so applicants should already hold a right to work in the UK. Applicants should also reside in the UK.
