Denville Hall
Appeal Director
£70,000
Full-time
Two year initial contract with review and possible extension

Opened in 1926 as the 'Haven for elderly actors & actresses', Denville Hall has been providing care for actors and members of the wider theatrical industry ever since.

Care, happiness and dignity are our core values at Denville Hall.

We are one of just two adult social care facilities in the UK that is dedicated to the support of members of the theatre dance and music professions. While some achieve notable success, there are many who do not and pursuing a career in theatre and the arts can be a precarious business.

Denville Hall already provides a range of residential care services that are tailored to individual need and wishes, which can support people over time. The addition of sheltered accommodation offers the opportunity for us to extend the length of care and support that we are able to offer members of the arts professions whom we exist to serve.

The need for sheltered housing accommodation is clear and present. Quite simply, people are living longer and like all of us, they want to be independent as possible for as long as possible.

We have the plans and all the necessary planning permission for what we anticipate will be a very successful and high-profile £12m capital appeal. Already we have support promised from some of the UKs house-hold names and are hopeful that we will also receive support from trusts and foundations dedicated to the support of the arts.

All that is needed now is an Appeal Director to deliver on all the promise that exists and that will leave a last legacy for both Denville Hall for the next 100 years as we will celebrate our centenary in 2026.
