Sight Scotland is Scotland’s leading charity providing specialist care, education and research for people with vision impairment. The charity has been in existence for over 230 years, and offer a variety of services in the community as well as education, transcription into alternative formats and residential care for adults and children. Their vision is of an inclusive Scotland where people of all visual abilities have the opportunity to thrive. To achieve their mission they are looking for maternity cover for their Fundraising and Engagement Administrator role – a crucial role providing a solid foundation of support to the whole Fundraising team.

The Fundraising and Engagement Administrator will join Sight Scotland at an exciting stage, with a newly formed Cause and Engagement team, a new organisational strategy and direction, and a roadmap for fundraising planned. The charity is recruiting for 5 other fundraising roles alongside this maternity cover.

This role provides vital administrative support to the fundraising function. You will perform a variety of tasks ranging from regular banking, data entry and the opening of fundraising post to more ad-hoc tasks such as handling supporter enquiries and working with the fundraising team to support their calendar of activities and key priorities. This role would suit someone who is competent with handling data, and perhaps has experience using a database, but who is equally happy delivering amazing supporter experiences / customer service and speaking to colleagues and supporters face to face, on the phone and via email.

You might see similar roles called Supporter Care Officer, or Fundraising Assistant.

If you are looking for your first role in a charity, or perhaps you have experience in a charity but are looking to reduce your hours yet still play a part in having a positive impact on a fundraising function at a national charity, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a popular cause at a pivotal time.
