Change Mental Health is a leading national mental health charity providing unique support to people with severe and enduring mental ill health. With over 50 years’ experience across Scotland, they believe people affected by poor mental health and illness deserve the highest quality of support in the community and that every person has the right to be valued and to share in the opportunities, challenges, and joys of everyday life.

The charity’s goal is to change mental health services for the better: to make them more accessible, more people centered and of a higher quality. Change Mental Health want to do exactly what their name suggests; to change the stigma around mental health and mental illness, so that more people can access the support they need.

Fundraising at Change Mental Health is highly relational and deeply people focused. This brand new Fundraiser role offers the chance to build meaningful relationships with supporters, volunteers, community groups and businesses, many of whom are motivated by personal connections to mental health. Each week in the Fundraiser role will be different, and much of the role takes place outside the office, including attending events, meeting fundraisers, visiting corporate partners and representing Change Mental Health across Scotland.

This role could suit someone with experience within a fundraising team who is looking to broaden their scope, work in a national charity or work for a cause thats positively impacting mental health.
