At Prostate Scotland, we are dedicated to supporting men across Scotland in their prostate health journey. Nearly 1 in 2 men in Scotland will be affected by prostate disease at some stage of their lives and 1 in 10 are likely to develop prostate cancer. Our mission is to inform, educate, support, campaign, and advance on prostate disease in Scotland.

The Fundraising Officer plays a key relationship-focused and operational role in enabling and supporting income generation across Prostate Scotland. The postholder will contribute to the delivery of high-quality fundraising campaigns, events, and supporter engagement activity, initially with a focus on supporting individual and community supporters. Thereafter the focus would be on developing corporate fundraising and sponsorship.

Working closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications and supporter care, the Fundraising Officer will provide essential relationship-management and operational support to ensure fundraising activity is well coordinated, effectively delivered and accurately reported.

This role is suited to an initiative taking, people-focused fundraiser who enjoys building relationships, supporting team delivery, and contributing to the growth of sustainable income streams.

Prostate Scotland is the leading charity dedicated to prostate disease, working across Scotland to inform, support and raise awareness among men, their families, healthcare professionals and the wider public. Based in central Edinburgh, we support men throughout their prostate health journey and work to improve outcomes through education, engagement and community-based activity.

We are seeking a motivated and organised Volunteer Coordinator to lead the development, coordination and delivery of Prostate Scotland’s volunteer programme. The postholder will be responsible for recruiting, training, supporting and engaging a diverse team of volunteers, including those involved in awareness talks and community outreach. Working closely with colleagues, partner organisations and volunteers, you will ensure that volunteers are well supported, effectively deployed and able to make a meaningful contribution to the charity’s mission to raise awareness of prostate health across Scotland.

This exciting role will involve:

• Developing and delivering a robust volunteer framework covering recruitment, induction, training, engagement, recognition and retention.
• Coordinating volunteer activity across a range of roles, including community awareness talks, events and fundraising support.
• Working in partnership with an external organisation to recruit and support partnership volunteers delivering awareness activity across Scotland.
• Ensuring volunteers receive high-quality induction, training and ongoing support to enable them to carry out their roles safely and effectively.
• Matching volunteer skills, experience and interests to organisational needs and community opportunities.
• Supporting and coordinating volunteer-led awareness talks, including allocating volunteers, providing resources and recording activity.
• Building strong, positive relationships with volunteers and partner organisations to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging.
• Monitoring and evaluating volunteer activity and impact, and producing reports and updates for internal use, including the Board.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure volunteering activity supports Prostate Scotland’s strategic aims and public awareness work.

Your strong communication, organisational and relationship-building skills will be essential in working with volunteers, partner organisations, colleagues and community stakeholders. You will play a key role in ensuring volunteers are well supported, motivated and equipped to deliver high-quality awareness activity, and you may represent Prostate Scotland at meetings, events and community awareness sessions. This is an exciting time to join Prostate Scotland as we continue to grow and strengthen our volunteer programme and expand our reach across Scotland. If you are passionate about supporting and empowering volunteers and want to contribute to a meaningful cause within a supportive and collaborative team, this role offers an excellent opportunity to make a real impact.
