Role

Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. We work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life.

We support and enable hundreds of communities and older people’s groups across Scotland. We provide information, friendship and advice through our free helpline and publications. We tackle loneliness and isolation with our Friendship Line and much more.

We work in Scotland with older people’s groups who provide vital activities and services for older people in their local community. We campaign on the issues that older people tell us are important to them.

Our mission is to inspire, involve and empower older people in Scotland, and influence others so that people can enjoy better later lives. To help us achieve that, our community and event fundraising activity aims to successfully increase donations and raise our profile and impact.

As a Community and Events Fundraiser you will work alongside the Corporate Trusts & Community Events Fundraising Manager to generate and maximise income from community and event fundraising activities, with a focus on challenge/sponsored events, bespoke Age Scotland events, private and street collections, static collection boxes, fundraising volunteers and local businesses.

Living our values you will work with colleagues across the charity and will collaborate with relevant Age UK colleagues on joint fundraising campaigns when required.

The post will be a blend of office and home working, requiring occasional travel across Scotland.

In return for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:

• Generous holiday allowance of 39 days (FTE) per year

• A range of learning and development opportunities

• Company sick pay

• Healthcare benefit through Westfield Health
