Waverley Care is looking for a new Fundraising Manager specializing in individual giving with a secondary focus on legacy giving.
The organisation has been at the forefront of providing care for those impacted by HIV and AIDS since 1989. Waverley Care now approaches a seminal moment as they close in on Scotland being one of the first countries in the world to get new HIV transmission down to zero by 2030.
To ensure they can meet the ambition, growth and expansion the charity sees in its future, the fundraising team has been invested in, including creating this new role. The fundraising team is in a good place and just needs the right person to join the charity to provide the remaining missing puzzle piece.
The successful candidate for the role of Fundraising Manager for Individual Giving and Legacies will be someone who has previously worked on delivering successful individual giving campaigns and is looking to broaden their remit to include other income streams such as legacies and mid-value giving, and/or to take on full responsibility for an income stream. In time there is the scope to include line management under this position. The role would suit someone who is excited by potential and is ambitious. Who can lead an individual giving campaign and be a credible expert for IG within Waverley Care.
You will be skilled in providing an excellent supporter journey, and able to apply the fundamentals of gold standard stewardship to other income streams such as with mid value donors and legacy pledgers.
This role is hybrid based, with some presence expected at Waverley Care head office for meetings and to build relationships across the wider team. Waverley Care are happy to consider candidates from outside of Scotland, as long as there is agreed commitment to attend quarterly team meetings in person in Edinburgh, and support at key events across the year.
This role was previously advertised last year as Fundraising Manager covering IG, Legacies and Major Donors. Upon reflection, the team have revised the role to be more focused on just IG and Legacies in line with the skills and expertise they hope to find in the successful candidate.
