At CHAS, every fundraising campaign has a purpose beyond clicks, conversions and ROI. The income you help generate will support children with life-shortening conditions and the families who love them across Scotland.

We're looking for a creative, curious and ambitious Fundraising Campaigns Coordinator to help deliver inspiring fundraising campaigns that engage supporters, grow income and help ensure every family who needs CHAS can access our care. You’ll be joining the team at a unique and critical time as we seek to deliver the More Than A Hospice Appeal, a £20m capital appeal to transform how Scotland cares for children with life-shortening conditions.

You'll work closely with the Fundraising Campaigns Manager and colleagues across CHAS to deliver multi-channel fundraising and supporter acquisition and retention campaigns, helping to plan, execute, optimise and report on activity across a range of channels.

From digital lead generation and email marketing to supporter journeys, face-to-face fundraising and direct mail appeals, you'll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on campaigns that reach thousands of supporters across Scotland and that seek to ensure that no family should face the death of their child alone.

You'll also:

• Support year-round fundraising acquisition and retention campaigns.

• Help deliver and optimise digital acquisition activity.

• Write compelling copy for emails, web and supporter communications.

• Analyse campaign performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Collaborate with colleagues across fundraising, marketing and communications.

You’ll be a brilliant communicator, have a track record of successfully working as part of a team, can think creatively and can use data and technology to inform your decision making and power your campaigns.

About CHAS

We support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together, as well as supporting them with life after loss.

But more than this - through the More Than a Hospice Appeal, we have an urgent and bold plan to change the future of how care is delivered for every dying child in Scotland, forever.

We want every family to have real choice over their child’s care, both while they live, and at end of life. The fundraising team will play a crucial part in making this possible, and as Fundraising Campaigns Coordinator, you will truly be working towards the funds that make this vision a reality in the future.

We offer

• Flexible Working: our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid manner with time split between at home and onsite in a CHAS office – most of our fundraising staff are based in our Glasgow or Edinburgh offices. CHAS offers flexible and family friendly working. and are happy to discuss working arrangements that work for you!
