About Scottish Fair Trade

Scottish Fair Trade is the national network organisation for Fair Trade in Scotland.

We work to build a world where trade is fair, people are valued, and the planet is protected. We connect communities, campaign for change, and support ethical businesses to grow and thrive.

Scotland is a Fair Trade Nation, and we’re working to re-energise the movement for the future, bringing all sectors of Scottish society with us.

About the role

The Development & Business Partnerships Officer plays an important role in strengthening relationships between Scottish Fair Trade and businesses, public sector organisations, social enterprises and partner networks across Scotland. The postholder supports engagement and knowledge-sharing around Fair Trade, ethical sourcing and sustainable procurement, helping to grow understanding and participation across different sectors.

The role also supports the development of Scottish Fair Trade’s membership community, encouraging organisations and businesses to engage with and support the movement for fairer trade.

Alongside this, the postholder will help coordinate light-touch consultancy and advisory activity delivered through Fair Change Co., our trading subsidiary, working with external associates or consultants where appropriate.

This is a relationship-focused and coordination role suited to someone with strong communication and organisational skills, an interest in ethical business and sustainability, and the ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders.

As the Community and Events Fundraising Officer, you will play a key part in ending youth homelessness in Scotland by inspiring people to support Rock Trust.

You will deliver exceptional supporter care and create meaningful experiences for everyone fundraising for us. Although a varied role, your work will follow strong themes – relationship building, spending time with supporters, and working with the Fundraising team; all to make a tangible difference for young people.

You’ll join an experienced and collaborative Fundraising and Communications team and be supported to identify opportunities to grow our community presence, take ownership of our community-led income, and inspire long term supporter loyalty to Rock Trust. In this varied and people-focused role you will meet and present to community groups such as schools, student societies, churches, and voluntary organisations. You may support groups to host their own events, take part in Youth and Philanthropy Initiative projects, or run collections, and you’ll play an important role in improving our supporter stewardship; helping create meaningful ways to connect with, and thank, our supporters.

You will also look after our events portfolio; recruiting participants, ensuring they receive top-notch stewardship, and supporting them in their fundraising journey. From our annual Firewalk to third-party challenges such as marathons and abseils, you’ll ensure that every participant has a fantastic experience. You’ll also use your creativity to bring fresh ideas to the table, adding to, and enhancing, our existing events programme to keep supporters engaged and inspired.

In the office, you will collaborate with teams such as Communications and Finance. You will help bring supporter stories to life, create engaging content, process donations, maintain our CRM database, and ensure fundraising activities run smoothly. You’ll also play an important part in supporting volunteers and volunteer groups, helping to create an excellent supporter experience at every stage.

This is a fantastic opportunity to combine creativity, relationship building, and event management in a role where no two days are the same. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, while putting your own stamp on the work we do. Most importantly, your work will directly help end youth homelessness in Scotland, giving you the chance to see the real impact your efforts make on the lives of young people.
