This role is primarily a Community Fundraising role, focused on building strong relationships with supporters, volunteers, community groups and organisations across Scotland. You will support individuals and communities to take part in charity or third party run events or to organise their own fundraising activities, helping them feel confident, inspired and connected to the impact of their support. For 2026-27 we have an ambitious Community Fundraising target, based on previous years’ success and an active and growing community of supporters, we aim to raise £330,000 through a combination of challenge, in memory, community and individual giving. Your work will go a long way in achieving this target. By building meaningful relationships and engagement opportunities for supporters, many of whom will be bereaved families and beneficiaries, you will play an important part in growing sustainable income that allows Held In Our Hearts to continue supporting families across Scotland

A role with Stewardship at the heart of it: Alongside community fundraising, this role offers a unique and exciting opportunity to shape and develop the charity’s supporter stewardship approach. Having grown quickly in the last 4 years, our approach to stewardship is a growing area of focus for the charity, and you will play an important role in helping us ensure supporters feel valued, appreciated and connected to the difference their contributions make. This means the role goes beyond traditional community fundraising, giving you the opportunity to contribute to the development of high-quality supporter journeys and to develop meaningful ways to thank and recognise supporters across an array of fundraising products. Help create impactful donor communications and updates. Strengthen long-term relationships with supporters and partners. This combination of community fundraising and stewardship development offers a rare opportunity for someone who enjoys relationship-building and wants to broaden their experience in supporter engagement and fundraising strategy
