At Prostate Scotland, we are dedicated to supporting men across Scotland in their prostate health journey. Nearly 1 in 2 men in Scotland will be affected by prostate disease at some stage of their lives and 1 in 10 are likely to develop prostate cancer. Our mission is to inform, educate, support, campaign, and advance on prostate disease in Scotland.

The Fundraising Officer plays a key relationship-focused and operational role in enabling and supporting income generation across Prostate Scotland. The postholder will contribute to the delivery of high-quality fundraising campaigns, events, and supporter engagement activity, initially with a focus on supporting individual and community supporters.
