• Run training sessions for parents on topics such as starting a walking or bike bus, facilitating an air pollution workshop and developing community organising skills.
• Build a pool of volunteers able to deliver air pollution workshops in schools by training volunteers in workshop facilitation and workshop content, and arranging sessions with participating schools.
• Support the delivery of parent-to-parent air pollution workshops within schools.
• Promote Parents for Future Scotland among parents and support community members to become involved in the organisation.
• Facilitate peer-to-peer support and knowledge-sharing between schemes across different schools.

Can you turn research and intelligence into practical opportunities that help fundraisers build stronger relationships and grow income? We are looking for a curious, analytical and collaborative Philanthropy Executive to strengthen CHAS’s prospect pipeline and help identify the people, organisations and connections with the greatest potential to support children and families across Scotland.

This is much more than a desk research role. You will combine high-quality prospect research and donor intelligence with sound judgement, relationship mapping and pipeline insight. Working closely with fundraisers and external research partners, you will identify and qualify prospective supporters, recommend routes to engagement and help ensure promising opportunities are progressed effectively.

You will produce clear briefings and evidence-based recommendations across philanthropy, corporate foundations and partnerships and campaign fundraising. You will also help maintain accurate prospect information, support regular pipeline reviews and translate complex research into practical next steps that colleagues can act on.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage several priorities and deadlines.
• A sound understanding of responsible information management, including data protection and confidentiality.

Experience of major donor, corporate foundations, or campaign fundraising would be helpful, as would experience of relationship mapping, due diligence, wealth screening or working with external research providers. These are desirable rather than essential.
