We are a small charity doing big things in Glasgow. The Glasgow Care Foundation has been providing a helping hand to families and individuals in Glasgow for more than 150 years.

Our aim is to alleviate poverty and improve quality of life people in Glasgow. We offer practical assistance to people in need, fund local community projects and administer pensions and grants for a range of trusts with mutual aims. Our small staff team work remotely, and our Board of Trustees are actively involved in delivering our mission.

Due to upcoming staff retirement, and a desire to expand our impact, we are recruiting a dynamic Fundraising and Partnerships Manager. This post holder will play a key role in delivering our ambition to positively impact 100,000 lives over the next 10 years.

This role would suit a candidate who possesses strong business development and fundraising experience, excellent stakeholder management skills, a strong work ethic and a high level of self-accountability.

Whilst most of this role will be based remotely, regular travel in and around the Glasgow area will be required to support stakeholder engagement and business development activities (such as meetings and events).

Why Join Us?

We make a real difference to people’s lives. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in growing our income, developing partnerships, and helping us increase our impact. If you are a motivated fundraiser who enjoys building relationships, identifying opportunities, and delivering results, we would love to hear from you.
