Role
The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. We all share it. And it drives our fundraising team to get out there and bring in the funds we need to protect children and prevent abuse.
We’ve been here for children for over 100 years. From our campaigns to our services- we strive to make a difference for children in everything we do, protecting children today and preventing abuse tomorrow.
The Scotland Fundraising Team’s aim is to maximise income to support our work in Scotland, providing the best possible supporter experience, and building long-term relationships between donors and our cause.
We rely on the fundraising support of people across Scotland, with 90% of our annual income coming from voluntary donations. We are looking to significantly grow our income in new and innovative ways. To achieve this growth, we need the very best team in place to deliver to ambitious targets.
We believe that partnerships with companies are one of the best ways to raise money, reach millions of people, and engage the UK public with our work. As much as a one-off donation is always welcome, we want to develop long-term, mutually beneficial relationships that put companies at the heart of what we do and simultaneously meet commercial needs.
As a Corporate Partnerships Manager, not only will the work you do make a real difference to children’s lives, but opportunities will be provided for you to develop your fundraising experience and skills within a sector leading organisation.
Join us at this exciting time and you’ll become part of an expanding team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You’ll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that’ll bring the best out in you. And you’ll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts young lives in Scotland. We want to ensure roles are accessible and inclusive of everyone, which is why the NSPCC offers a high degree of flexibility around ways of working.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is at the heart of what we do. At the NSPCC, we understand how important it is that our workforce is representative of the people we support and who support us. We believe that every individual has the right to be their true self and to live a full life without prejudice, fear or barriers. This is the starting point for all our commitments and actions and underpins our commitment to be there for all children.
