Every day people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of
our mission to make sure that there is no life half lived in Scotland.
By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as an Individual Giving Fundraiser you can be the difference
between people just surviving and really living.
You will be part of Scotland’s leading health charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke
conditions and Long Covid to live life to the full again. Our Community Healthcare Support Service provides
access to a range of supported self-management and community recovery services to support people across Scotland
to manage their health as well as possible and adjust to life after a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition or
after a stroke.
With support from the Donor Development Manager, the Individual Giving Fundraiser will play a key role in growing and
sustaining CHSS’s individual donor income by playing a lead role in donor acquisition campaigns, stewardship,
and reactivation activity. You will have a strong focus on face-to-face recruitment and compelling multi-channel
appeals. As an essential part of the Donor Development team you will be working collaboratively across Income
Generation, Communications, Supporter Care, and Data as well as a range of external agencies and suppliers. In
all areas, you will ensure compliance with fundraising regulations, GDPR, and marketing standards.
It is an exciting and varied role. We’ll want you to be creative - with support of Communications colleagues you’ll
be involved in the crafting of fundraising appeals and campaigns. We’ll expect you to be technically proficient
using a fundraising CRM (ideally RE:NXT), highly organised and collaborative. We’ll want you to be able to work
with Data colleagues and use insight and analysis to inform decisions.
This role will help CHSS develop targeted campaigns, strengthen supporter loyalty, and ensure high-quality supporter
journeys that enhance long-term income stability.
If you are working in a similar role looking for a change or are someone with relevant practical experience in
Individual Giving looking for the opportunity to take on some more responsibility, we’d love to hear from
you!
CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible
Working”.
