Who we are

Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. Our aim is to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. We provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, campaign for the rights of people affected by dementia and fund vital dementia research.

What you’ll do

This is an exciting leadership role with a clear purpose: to grow, develop and improve Alzheimer Scotland’s community fundraising and events activity across Scotland. You will play a key role in delivering the Fundraising & Engagement strategy by supporting more individuals, groups, volunteers, local organisations, colleagues and communities to fundraise effectively for Alzheimer Scotland.

As Community and Events Lead, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for Alzheimer Scotland’s community fundraising and events channels. You will translate organisational and Fundraising & Engagement objectives into clear plans, budgets, KPIs, workplans and delivery priorities, ensuring community fundraising and events activity is well planned, well supported and focused on meaningful results.

You will lead and develop a high-performing team, line managing two Events Officers and a Community Officer. You will ensure community fundraising, third-party events, and Alzheimer Scotland-led events are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with agreed objectives.

You will lead and grow community fundraising activity by individuals, groups, clubs, small businesses and community organisations. A key part of the role will be helping others to fundraise well: providing the tools, encouragement, expertise, stewardship and follow-up that enable supporters, volunteers, local teams and community groups to turn ideas and goodwill into successful fundraising activity.

You will lead the community and events aspects of national fundraising and engagement programmes, including Memory Walk, Tea & Blether and future initiatives. You will help increase community engagement, awareness and participation, while ensuring activity is delivered safely, consistently and with excellent supporter and volunteer stewardship.

Working closely with colleagues across Fundraising & Engagement, Communications and operational teams, you will support appropriate communications and promotional activity for Community & Events work, strengthen supporter journeys and help local service delivery teams identify and develop community fundraising opportunities in their areas.

You will oversee third-party events and associated supplier relationships, ensuring challenge events and externally organised opportunities are delivered safely, profitably and with excellent supporter stewardship. You will manage income and expenditure budgets, monitor performance and use data, insight and post-activity evaluation to improve effectiveness, supporter experience and return on investment.

This role combines strategic thinking with practical delivery.

What you’ll have

You will bring experience in one or more relevant fundraising channels, such as community fundraising, supporter-led fundraising, events or participation-based activity. More importantly, you will be able to demonstrate that you have led people or teams to deliver fundraising activity effectively, bringing sound judgement, a strong understanding of how fundraising works, and the knowledge of regulation, compliance and good practice needed to shape activity that is safe, appropriate and likely to succeed.

You will have experience of planning, delivering and evaluating community fundraising activity, events, campaigns or programmes, and be able to show how you have improved activity, strengthened participation and delivered measurable outcomes.

You will have demonstratable experience of enabling others to fundraise successfully, not just delivering activity yourself. You will be able to show how you have managed supporters, volunteers, colleagues, groups or local organisations to take ownership of fundraising activity, providing the guidance, resources, encouragement and follow-up needed to help them achieve good results.

You will be a strategic thinker who can turn organisational priorities into clear plans and practical actions. You will be confident leading teams, managing multiple workstreams and building productive relationships with colleagues, supporters, volunteers, suppliers, community groups and external partners.

You will have strong planning, analytical and commercial skills, with experience of working to budgets, targets, KPIs and delivery plans. You will be confident using data, insight and evaluation to improve activity, supporter engagement, volunteer participation and return on investment.

You will understand the importance of delivering fundraising activity safely and compliantly, with appropriate attention to fundraising regulation, relevant law, health and safety, data protection, financial controls, risk management and Alzheimer Scotland policies.

Most importantly, you will be motivated by helping people and communities support Alzheimer Scotland. You will bring energy, empathy, organisation and leadership to a role that strengthens community fundraising, events delivery, volunteer involvement and supporter engagement across Scotland.
