Role
What's the role about?
RSPB Scotland is a leading nature conservation charity dedicated to protecting Scotland's wildlife and natural habitats.
We are looking for an experienced grants fundraiser with the passion and drive to play their part in saving nature across Scotland. Working within the RSPB Scotland Fundraising team, this role requires a motivated individual with relevant experience in securing and maximising income from external grant and charitable trust funding sources; someone who can take the initiative in identifying new funding opportunities and drafting high quality proposals to ensure applications are successful.
The ideal candidate would have excellent writing skills as well as an attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks. Fundraising is a dynamic area of work and an ability to re-prioritise workloads to meet tight deadlines is essential. The successful candidate must also be confident in building and developing strong relationships, both externally with funders and internally with RSPB staff from other offices and nature reserves, whom you will work with to draft applications and updates to funders.
This role is primarily responsible for fundraising to enable work undertaken by RSPB Scotland, and as such the successful candidate will ideally be based in Scotland. This role will be home-based; but will involve some infrequent travel to offices and reserves across Scotland. This role will also include line management responsibilities so experience in this area would be preferred – but not essential.
Essential skills, knowledge, and experience:
• Proven, successful track record in securing five and six figure donations from grants and/or charitable trusts.
• Excellent writing skills in multiple formats and writing styles.
• Good numeracy skills and ability to collate project budgets and grant claims.
• Excellent understanding of funder motivations, funding processes, and the implications of funding packages and commitments
• Capability to work both proactively both within a team environment and independently.
• Ability to manage own workload.
• Resilience and adaptability to changing priorities and short deadlines.
• Excellent relationship-building & collaboration skills with both internal teams and external funders and partners.
• Persuasive verbal communication skills.
• Excellent data management skills are a necessity for this role, as you’ll be recording data on Customer Relationship Management systems (CRM’s).
• Competent user of the full suite of Microsoft Office programmes.
