About Us
We are Right There, a charity that recently celebrated our 200th anniversary. We provide tailored support for people, at home, and in the community. We are here for people who are living with the effects of homelessness, poverty, substance use, or family breakdowns.
Last year we supported almost 4,000 individuals, helping to prevent them from becoming homeless or separated from the people they love. Every person’s story is unique, and everyone’s route home is different - it doesn’t matter what the situation is – we’re not here to judge, only to help.
Following recent major fundraising successes and the expansion of our services into the Scottish Borders, MYPAS is seeking a self-starting fundraiser to build and diversify our fundraising to support future growth. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to use their experience and creativity to shape both the role and the fundraising function - working closely with the Chief Executive and Board to establish fundraising strategy and infrastructure.
With previous experience of fundraising in at least two of the following areas - individual giving, community and events fundraising, corporate giving, trusts and grants, public sector contracts – you will occupy a pivotal role in increasing the organisation’s capacity to provide our much-needed services for vulnerable young people.
With a primary focus on fundraising, the postholder will also work to support marketing and communications including developing social media.
With funding for our core activities largely secured, and strong prospects in the pipeline, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone to make the role their own and take our fundraising to the next level.
This post may require evening and occasional weekend work: some evening and weekend work may be necessary – based on advance notice and a TOIL system. The post requires flexibility during peak fundraising periods such as seasonal events and MYPAS run community events.
This is a full-time role but we would consider part-time hours.
