Are you a Fundraiser looking for a varied role where you can demonstrate the breadth of your experience and grow your skills?

This exciting role will give you the opportunity to develop and maximise income from the local community and third-party events, corporates, major donors trusts and statutory funders to help deliver our vision of a world without barriers for every deaf child.

As part of the Relationship and Partnership Fundraising team you will use your keen understanding of the statutory fundraising landscape in Scotland to deliver vital income for the charity. In addition, you will be responsible for managing and developing existing supporters from a variety of sources in your region as well as identifying and securing new supporters and partnerships to ensure long-term income for the charity.

Experience of working in a similar role and delivering written funding proposals is essential, as are outstanding supporter stewardship skills. You will be self-motivated and enjoy taking ownership over your work, with an ambitious drive to progress the success of your team. A friendly, approachable manner is essential to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
