If you are passionate about Community and Events fundraising, enjoy being creative, and can lead and inspire a team; then the new role of Community and Events Fundraising Lead is for you. Come and join our team to help make time count for people with motor neuron disease (MND) and be part of our vision of a world without MND.
MND Scotland is unique. We are the only MND charity in Scotland to offer direct support to people living with MND, their families, and friends. We provide practical, financial, and wellbeing support to people with MND and their families, as they face a devastating terminal disease which will affect 1 in 300 Scots. Alongside this we fund ground-breaking research that holds genuine hope for a cure. As a charity our mission is clear – we make time count for people affected by MND across the country.
We would not be where we are without our supporters and, as Community and Events Fundraising Lead, you will be central to the successful delivery of our ambitious fundraising strategy, using operational and financial planning skills to develop and implement a successful portfolio for giving across Scotland.
You will lead on developing our bespoke events programme, bringing creative and supporter led initiatives to engage and inspire our audiences. You will create an infrastructure and culture that delivers first class supporter experiences and develop and deliver products that will inspire communities across the country to fundraise for MND Scotland. You will bring a supporter led, data driven approach, along with a passion for Community and Events fundraising, to lead a team of fundraisers and build a sustainable income stream.
Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, you will work closely to deliver a high performing, inspiring department, helping develop a culture of innovation with psychological safety, and a renewed commitment to putting the MND community at the centre of our work.
