Freelance Part Time Prospect Researcher

The ORNC in Greenwich is one of the country’s top 15 visitor attractions, with two million people visiting in the last year. Areas open daily free of charge include the Painted Hall, the Chapel and Discover Greenwich visitor centre.

The spectacular buildings, grounds and interiors of the ORNC are conserved and managed by the Greenwich Foundation, a heritage charity, which is also responsible for providing public access, interpretation and learning.

Now the Foundation has been given a rare chance to build an endowment fund to ensure long-term financial sustainability. We have been awarded a £1m grant from the Catalyst programme, funded by the HLF and the DCMS – but we need to match it by raising another £1m by June 2016.

To help the ORNC reach this target, we are currently seeking an experienced freelance part time Prospect Researcher. Initial research to include the 200 top prospects on our current ORNS data base to be followed by other HNWIs and companies in the naval/architecture/conservation sectors.

This role is 3 days per week for 6 months, preferably to start immediately. The daily rate is £125 and although the office is based in Greenwich, some of the work may be done from home.

Essential Skills:

Demonstrated experience in prospect research. Knowledge of the range of resources available to prospect researchers and the ability to apply those resources in an organized and purposeful manner.

Strong computer skills and experience working with a relational database, as well as the Microsoft Office suite of products, including excel. Ability to download and export information between systems.

Demonstrated ability to work independently, prioritize work, and meet deadlines.

Ability to maintain confidentiality and work with sensitive information.
