Mary’s Meals is a global movement supported by people from all walks of life and we are focused on one goal – that
every child receives a nutritious daily meal in a place of education. We offer more than just a career, we offer
the opportunity to support our global movement in a dynamic and inclusive environment with a real focus on
personal development.
We are seeking an experienced, Glasgow-based fundraiser to join us as a Regional Development Officer. In this role,
you’ll be a confident, visible champion for Mary’s Meals, someone who knows the city, understands its
communities, and can build relationships that spark action. You’ll bring boldness and creativity to your work,
whether delivering inspiring talks in churches and schools, making fundraising asks or forging genuine
partnerships with local businesses and networks.
Using your deep knowledge of Glasgow’s people and places, you will identify high potential opportunities, grow income
and participation, and cultivate a committed local movement of supporters and volunteers. Through strategic,
outward facing work, you’ll turn first conversations into committed, long term support that strengthens our
movement and fuels our mission.
Working closely with the Head of Scotland, you will co design and deliver a local growth plan shaped by the pulse of
your region. You will represent Mary’s Meals across faith communities, schools, community groups, business
networks, and key connectors, bringing energy, authenticity, and a passion for our mission.
Highly autonomous, you’ll combine insight, data, and local intuition to focus on areas of greatest opportunity.
You’ll collaborate across the organisation to create seamless supporter journeys and tell compelling, meaningful
stories. Everything you do will reflect Mary’s Meals’ warmth, simplicity, and dignity.
Key responsibilities include
• Work with the Head of Scotland to create and deliver an insight driven regional growth plan, with clear priorities
around income, visibility, and volunteer mobilisation.
• Use local knowledge, data, and community insight to focus your time on the strongest opportunities for growth.
• Balance relationship building with a proactive, opportunity-led approach, identifying new supporters, networks, and
partnerships and developing them from prospective supporters into committed donors.
• Actively network across Glasgow to initiate new meetings, build connections, and follow up purposefully.
• Represent Mary’s Meals with authenticity and enthusiasm across schools, churches, parishes, universities, community
groups, and local businesses.
• Deliver engaging talks, assemblies, parish visits, small events, networking sessions, and partnership meetings that
increase income, participation, and visibility.
• Build a diverse pipeline of leads and partnerships that reflect Glasgow’s communities and faith landscape.
• Create the environment for a strong volunteer network and empower volunteers through thoughtful delegation,
coaching, encouragement, and recognition.
• Strengthen local visibility by nurturing community connectors and supporting appropriate local media
engagement.
