Are you called to Mission?
Do you want to help bring life in all its fullness to people living in poverty across Asia and Africa in the
name of Jesus? Do you enjoy building relationships, public speaking, and strategic thinking? Are you able to
inspire others to bring lasting change? If so, we would love to hear from you!
You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every
two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many
people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to
them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet.
Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to
help end leprosy?
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150
years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity,
working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat
leprosy and transform lives.
We are looking for an inspirational leader to develop and deliver fundraising plans in Scotland, and to provide
excellent care for faithful Scottish supporters. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across
Scotland.
You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising management team based in Peterborough. We have a culture of growing and
learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have
opportunities to visit projects overseas and see your work first hand.
We’re looking for:
• A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches, community groups and
businesses
• Proven success in fundraising
• A confident networker
• Experience of managing volunteers
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
• The ability to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy.
TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. There is a genuine occupational
requirement for the Scotland Country Head to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in
supporting churches.
A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to
undertake a work health questionnaire.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are
expected to understand, sign, and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of
Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM
includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not
necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We
are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the
community, who have permission to work in the UK.
