Current vacancies

Interim Legacy & In Memory Lead

  • Full time or Part time
  • £36,500 – £38,374
  • Hybrid: Edinburgh - Blend of office and home working
  • Closing 22nd October 2026

Our vision is that no one in Scotland faces the challenges of older age alone.

We provide older people, their families and carers with high quality information and advice services and we tackle loneliness through our dedicated friendship programmes.

We campaign and influence on the issues older people tell us they care about. We support and fund hundreds of older people’s groups and community initiatives across the country and deliver workshops to improve people’s quality of life.

We involve and empower people affected by dementia and host national forums for older people from ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community to help address the inequalities they face.

We're looking for an experienced and passionate fundraiser to join us as Interim Legacy and In Memory Lead.

In this role, you'll drive our legacy and in-memory fundraising programme, inspiring supporters to leave a lasting impact for older people across Scotland. You'll raise awareness of the difference gifts in wills and in-memory donations make, lead engaging campaigns and activities, and help grow both income and legacy pledges to support our work now and for generations to come.

If you're a creative, relationship-focused fundraiser with a track record of delivering results and a passion for making a meaningful difference, we'd love to hear from you.

The post will be Scotland-based, with a blend of office (Edinburgh-based) and home working. As a hybrid role the intention is that office-based and external facing work will constitute 40% of working time over each month. Age Scotland is a flexible employer, and flexible work patterns are available.

In return for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:

  • Generous holiday allowance of 39 days (FTE)
  • A range of learning and development opportunities
  • Company sick pay
  • Healthcare benefit through BHSF
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Discounts from major retailers
  • Contributory pension scheme with employer contributions of 9%
  • A comprehensive package of support though our Employee Assistance Programme
  • Group life cover up to three times your annual salary
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Paid carers leave and dependents’ support
  • Enhanced family life policies.
