Through their comprehensive services, they offer front line support to enhance the quality of life for those affected by MND, while also raising awareness to promote understanding and empathy within communities.

The Role

The Fundraising Lead role at MND Scotland is crucial in delivering this vision. This position offers a unique opportunity for an experienced, creative and strategic-minded fundraiser to drive the charities fundraising efforts. The Fundraising Lead will be responsible for developing and implementing fundraising strategies, including overseeing the planning, execution, and evaluation of fundraising campaigns, cultivating and stewarding relationships, and identifying opportunities for growth and expansion. Additionally, the role involves working closely in a team, and managing the Fundraising Coordinator, coaching them in good practice, motivating them to compliment campaigns and promote a collaborative working culture.

The ideal candidate for this role will bring a proven track record in successful fundraising within the charitable sector, demonstrating the ability to secure financial support and meet/exceed set targets. As a strategic thinker with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, the Fundraising Lead will excel in stakeholder engagement, have a strong understanding of fundraising principles, and provide effective solutions, all whilst being an ambassador for MND Scotland.
