Love bringing people together, creating brilliant events and turning great ideas into opportunities that make a difference? This could be the role for you.

Your new opportunity

We’re looking for an enthusiastic and commercially minded Events & Fundraising Lead join Quarriers and help us grow our fundraising, partnerships and events.

This is no ordinary fundraising role. One day you could be building relationships with community groups and corporate partners, the next you could be bringing a conference to life, developing a new fundraising idea or showcasing William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre (WQSEC) as a fantastic venue for events and training.

You’ll have the freedom to build connections, spot opportunities and make things happen – all while generating valuable income that supports the work of Quarriers and WQSEC.

What you’ll be doing

• Growing community fundraising and developing new ways for people and organisations to support Quarriers.
• Building exciting relationships with supporters, businesses, NHS partners, charities, universities and community groups.
• Supporting volunteers and bringing people together around fundraising activities and events.
• Creating sponsorship and partnership opportunities that deliver real value.
• Promoting WQSEC’s conference, meeting and training facilities and helping to grow venue income.
• Taking events from the first enquiry through to the big day – coordinating bookings, catering, technology, room set-up and everything in between.
• Delivering a fantastic experience that keeps clients, supporters and partners coming back.
• Taking ownership of income generation, target achievement and performance, using creative approaches to maximise growth opportunities.

What we’re looking for

You might already work in fundraising, events or business development – or you may have built your experience in a customer-focused commercial role. What matters most is that you’re a confident relationship-builder who enjoys variety, takes ownership and can turn opportunities into action.

You’ll bring:

• Experience in fundraising, business development, events management or customer relationship management.
• A natural ability to network, engage and build lasting relationships.
• Excellent organisation skills and the confidence to juggle different projects, events and deadlines.
• A creative, proactive approach and plenty of ideas.
• Strong communication and customer service skills.
• Experience of working towards financial or income-generation targets.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and CRM or database systems.
• A full valid UK driving licence with access to your own car is essential.

Charity-sector, venue or conference experience would be a bonus, as would experience of working with volunteers or using Raiser’s Edge – but don’t let that stop you applying if you have great transferable experience.

A role with variety and flexibility

This is a full-time role working 35 hours per week. We work in an agile way, so your week will be a blend of working from WQSEC in Glasgow, visiting communities and partners across Scotland, and working from home, depending on what you need to achieve.

Fundraising and great events don’t always happen Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, so occasional evening and weekend working will be required to support events and fundraising activity.

If you’re looking for a varied role where you can be creative, build meaningful partnerships, deliver memorable events and see the impact of your work, we’d love to hear from you.

Background

Common Wheel is a 25 year old Registered Charity, based in Glasgow, providing meaningful activity for people recovering from or experiencing mental illness. Our Programmes of activity include; Arts, Music, Climbing, Gardening, Bike Building and our own highly varied Drop In Programme delivered from our own premises at the Gartnavel Hospital, The Nook in Glasgow and other community facilities. Our Bike Building Programme (BYOB) is delivered from our well respected and long-established Bike Workshops in Maryhill and Bridgeton.

Our Bike Workshops are staffed by our existing Bike Engineers and are supported by our team of volunteer Bike Engineers. In addition to being commercial Bike Workshops offering bike sales and repairs, our workshops are also highly supportive, training workspaces where we deliver the Build Your Own Bike Programme.

Due to volume of work, we are currently seeking to recruit a new Bike Engineer who will work across both Bike Workshops ensuring we can have longer opening hours.

Who are we looking for?

We want to find someone who has a passion for bikes and the skills and patience to match. We need someone who can do more than fix bikes. The role is also about passing on your knowledge and passion to improve the lives of people with mental illness.

Our bike repair side is more creative than in other bike workshops. We do many custom builds and seldom sell a bike the way it left the factory.

As with any job there will be training in how we do things. We do expect you to be able to re-cable a ‘90s bike in less than an hour, build wheels, fit mudguards and all the usual bike repair skills.

We are also seeking someone with customer service skills, preferably in a bike environment and someone with IT skills as we have admin responsibilities to our Funders. Specific bike retail experience would be advantageous.

Ideally, we are seeking someone with a non-judgemental, nurturing, motivational approach who will be able to support our participants as fully as possible, someone who understands the challenges presented by mental illness.

The Bike Engineer will have a full Common Wheel induction and will have access to mental health training including; working with forensic patients, suicide prevention, self-harm and trauma informed practice. You may be asked to take part in the bike subcommittee which is made up of staff, volunteers and board members.

Following the success of our established Housing First for Youth service in Fife, we’re expanding our team and creating exciting opportunities for new colleagues to join us. This is an opportunity to build on the strong foundations already in place, extending our impact and continuing to support young people to access and sustain a home of their own, with the right support to build a positive future. We’re looking for passionate, committed people who share our belief that every young person deserves a safe, secure place to call home and the opportunity to thrive.
