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 desk-based
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.
For this role, it is vital that interested candidates have experience using a fundraising database and are competent
and capable handling financial data. Due to the importance of database management for this role, candidates who
can't demonstrate experience using a CRM system to accurately input and review financial data will not be
shortlisted.
This role will involve building relationships across teams to provide customer service, solve problems and spot
opportunities for fundraising, so would suit a candidate who enjoys delivering amazing supporter experiences /
customer service and speaking to colleagues and supporters face to face, on the phone and via email.
