About East Ayrshire Citizens Advice Bureau
East Ayrshire Citizens Advice Bureau is an independent charity providing free, confidential and impartial advice to people across East Ayrshire. We support thousands of local residents every year with issues including debt, benefits, housing, employment and consumer problems.
As demand for advice continues to grow, the Bureau is entering a new phase of development. We are seeking a Business Development Manager to play a key role in strengthening the organisation’s financial sustainability and supporting the strategic development of our services.
Purpose of the Role
The Business Development Manager will lead on identifying, securing and developing funding opportunities to support the Bureau’s work. This will include building relationships with funders, developing compelling funding proposals and creating a clear and sustainable funding strategy for the organisation.
Working closely with the Chief Executive and Board, the postholder will also support the wider development of the Bureau as a resilient and forward-looking organisation, identifying opportunities for service growth, partnership working and innovation within the advice sector.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with practical delivery and who is motivated by strengthening services that make a real difference to people’s lives.
