Background

Unicorn Preservation Society (UPS) is a Scottish charity responsible for the preservation of HMS Unicorn, one of the world’s oldest surviving warships and an important part of Scotland’s maritime heritage.

The Society faces two related fundraising challenges:

• Financial sustainability: securing sufficient unrestricted and revenue funding to support the charity’s core operating costs, develop sustainable income streams and strengthen its long-term financial position.
• Project Safe Haven (PSH) securing the capital funding required to support the major conservation project to safeguard HMS Unicorn for the future. Comprising transfer of HMS Unicorn into permanent dry dock in the East Graving Dock adjacent to her current location with new visitor facilities and shelter structure.

The Society wishes to appoint an experienced fundraising consultant/contractor to develop a clear, realistic and actionable fundraising plan that addresses both these priorities and supports the long-term sustainability of the organisation and the ship.

This work will contribute to UPS’s PSH Development Phase funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF.)

Purpose of the commission

The successful applicant will work with the Society to develop a prioritised fundraising plan for the period 2027 – 2030 covering both revenue and capital funding and keyed to Project Safe Haven milestones as appropriate.

The plan should identify the most promising funding opportunities, establish clear priorities, and set out the actions, resources and timescales required to pursue them. It should be grounded in an assessment of the Society’s circumstances, fundraising capacity and funding needs, and should distinguish between opportunities that can

deliver income in the short term and those requiring longer-term development.

The plan must be realistic about the likely availability and timing of funding, the probability of success and the resources required to secure it. It should be sufficiently practical to guide implementation by the Society following completion of the commission.

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.
