About the service

Our Fundraising Team raises the voluntary income that allows Cyrenians to prevent homelessness and support people towards more stable futures. That income comes from individual donors, community groups, schools and businesses across Scotland, many who have stood with us for years.

The team is small, busy and collaborative, and works closely with colleagues in the marketing & communications team, and across our services. Every relationship we look after well helps to support the mission of Cyrenians, to tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness.

About the role

The Fundraising Coordinator is the first person many of our supporters meet. You will hold the day to day tasks of supporter care and help grow our community fundraising, so that everyone who gives to Cyrenians feels thanked, informed and glad they did.

• Look after an existing portfolio of fundraisers and help deliver a calendar of events, sponsored challenges and community talks.
• Keep our supporter records accurate and compliant, including Gift Aid declarations and consent, and support the team with reporting.

About you

We are looking for someone personable and highly organised, who takes care over the detail and enjoys being the friendly voice of an organisation.

• Excellent customer service and communication skills, in writing, on the phone and face to face.
• Well organised, confident with IT and databases, and able to manage a varied workload to deadlines.
• Experience of working in a busy fundraising environment, with experience working with a supporter database an advantage.

How we’ll support you

You will join a supportive and motivated fundraising team, reporting to the Senior Fundraising Manager, with regular support and supervision and a clear work plan to shape your first year.

You’ll also have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme, and staff wellbeing services.
