About the Organisation:

Camphill Estates is a Scottish charity that owns and stewards the land and properties used by five independent Camphill charities in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: Beannachar, Camphill School Aberdeen, Camphill Wellbeing Trust, Simeon Care for the Elderly, and Tigh a’Chomainn.

Camphill Estates works in partnership with four independent Camphill charities and a social enterprise, each dedicated to making a meaningful impact on the local and wider community of Aberdeen City & Shire. Their work spans all age groups - from early years to older age - and covers a wide range of areas, including health and wellbeing, education, lifelong learning, social care, and sustainability.

While these organisations are independently governed, they share a common ethos rooted in the Camphill tradition: inclusion, dignity, purposeful living, and a deep connection to community and place.

“Everyone is appreciated for who they are, their unique personality and the special qualities they bring to community life.”

We maintain and develop the land, heritage buildings, infrastructure, and green spaces across the estates - most notably as stewards of the historic Camphill and Murtle Estates, where the global Camphill movement began in 1939.

In addition to our role as landowners and custodians, we provide a professional fundraising function for Beannachar, Camphill School Aberdeen, Camphill Wellbeing Trust, and Simeon Care for the Elderly. While we support the land and buildings at Tigh a’Chomainn, we do not currently fundraise on their behalf.

Following a strategic review and planning process, we have identified over £15 million in capital projects aimed at improving and expanding the facilities that underpin this vital work. Our experienced fundraising team is focused on delivering transformational funding to ensure these organisations - and the people they support - can thrive for generations to come.

About the Role:

As Senior Fundraising Executive (Trusts and Foundations), you will be responsible for raising mid-level grants - typically in the £10,000 to £100,000 range - from trusts, foundations, and public funders. These grants will support a wide range of capital, community, and sustainability projects across Camphill Estates and the four Camphill charities we fundraise for.

You’ll report to the Director of Fundraising and work closely with the Fundraising Manager, who oversees day-to-day fundraising operations and strategy delivery. You will also collaborate with our Fundraising Executive, who focuses on lower-level grants, and the wider estates and charity teams to develop strong, funder-ready proposals with clear impact.

We’re looking for someone with proven success in securing five and six figure grants, who can combine strategic thinking with exceptional storytelling. You’ll need excellent written and verbal communication skills, a good grasp of project development and budgeting, and the ability to build and sustain productive relationships with funders.

You’ll be joining a small, motivated and collaborative fundraising team where mutual support, ambition and shared purpose are at the heart of how we work. Your contribution will directly support the growth and sustainability of some of the most impactful charities in the North of Scotland.

This is more than a job - it’s a chance to be part of something meaningful. A place where your skills will help transform lives, protect heritage, and support inclusive communities to thrive for generations to come.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a senior management post within Families Outside. This is a key role for a dynamic and passionate individual interested in making a real difference in the lives of families affected by imprisonment. If you are skilled and motivated to take strategic and operational responsibility for the support of children and families and have the skills and experience to lead a team of dedicated staff, among other attributes, we would like to hear from you!

This role is primarily based in our Head Office in Edinburgh but would be feasible for anyone in the central belt.

About the role

Families Outside is the only national charity in Scotland that works solely to support children and families affected by imprisonment. This senior management post leads the strategic development and implementation of the work of Families Outside’s Family Support team, linking the work of the Regional Managers and Regional Family Support Coordinators, national Helpline, and support to Prison Visitors’ Centres to improve outcomes for children and families throughout Scotland who are affected by imprisonment. The post holder will lead and inspire a team of managers to deliver high quality integrated support within our values framework (Compassion, Integrity, Tenacity, and Expertise). Undertaking and leading on significant projects, providing strategic leadership, and promoting and representing Families Outside are all key components of this challenging role.

About you

You will need a proven relevant track record, possibly gained in a range of sectors where you operated at a senior level with external audiences and engaged with, and influenced, a variety of stakeholders. You will also need demonstrable experience in managing and developing a diverse family support service, working collaboratively to support families caught up in criminal justice processes, significant experience of child and adult protection and trauma-informed practice, and extensive experience of managing staff, students, and volunteers.

Someone who thrives on working collaboratively with others for the good of the business, you will be adept at building a network of good relationships and have an ability to develop a thorough understanding of the organisation and the wider sector quickly. You will be a good listener and positive influencer who communicates clearly, verbally and in writing; is reasonably comfortable with the media and Parliamentary bodies; and, where appropriate, is able to persuade others to change their views, intentions, or actions.

The leadership role of Director of Services is key for the organisation: you will lead a team of 4 – 5 managers, and as a member of the 3-person Senior Management Team will report directly to the CEO. Providing leadership and effective day-to-day management of the Family Support Team, you will ensure that Families Outside is a key contributor to local and national policy and the lead national voice on issues relating to families affected by imprisonment.

This is an exciting role for the right applicant. It comes at a time where Families Outside has undertaken a major restructuring programme and is regrouping to make best use of our capacity. This is an exciting time to join the team, where you will have the opportunity to deliver the ambitions of Families Outside on a national and international stage.
