The Outward Bound Trust is a very busy, vibrant charity, that prides itself in offering a refreshing and stimulating work environment. This role will provide full confidential administrative support to the Chief Executive.

You’ll organise the detail behind the vision…from diaries, events, meetings, and travel. In addition, you will be responsible for overseeing and actioning some areas of organisational governance, as well as giving support to Senior Management Team members, and the Board of Trustees as and when required.

This role is more than an Executive Assistant role - you will wear many hats, meet many interesting people and be involved in many differing projects. This role is critical in supporting the organisation in its mission to support young people.

The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that inspires young people to believe they can achieve more than they ever thought possible through learning and adventure in the wild.

The UK fundraising team raises over £7m a year to provide bursary support for disadvantaged young people to participate in our residential courses, and towards capital requirements across the Trust. The team of 15 is based across three locations at Waterloo, London, Head Office in Hackthorpe, Cumbria and Glasgow, Scotland.

As Fundraising Executive, you will be part of a team working together with the Head of Scottish Partnerships to raise £750,000.

This is a full-time post in which you'll:

• Have responsibility for your own portfolio of trusts and pro-actively research and recruit new trusts to support Outward Bound
• Supporting the fundraising and stewardship of existing donors for The Trust’s two major projects in Scotland – The Mark Scott Leadership for Life Award and Scotland’s Next Generation.
• Supporting the Head of Scottish Partnerships in the stewardship of Corporate and Major Donors and planning and execution of fundraising events.
• Support the social media activity of the Scotland fundraising team.

This is a varied role with opportunities to provide fundraising support across a number of different income streams. Applicants will be based in Glasgow with hybrid home working considered.
