Age Scotland is the national charity for older people.

Our vision is that no one in Scotland faces the challenges of older age alone.

We provide older people, their families and carers with high-quality information and advice services and we tackle loneliness through our dedicated friendship programmes.

We campaign and influence on the issues older people tell us they care about. We support and fund hundreds of older people’s groups and community initiatives across the country and deliver workshops to improve people’s quality of life.

We involve and empower people affected by dementia and host national forums for older people from ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community to help address the inequalities they face.

We're looking for an enthusiastic and ambitious Corporate Fundraiser – New Business to join our Fundraising team.

This is an exciting opportunity to secure new partnerships with businesses across Scotland and the UK, helping to generate vital income and support for older people. You'll identify and develop new opportunities, create compelling partnership proposals, and build lasting relationships with corporate supporters. From Charity of the Year partnerships and project funding to sponsorship and commercial collaborations, you'll play a key role in delivering our ambitious plans for income growth.

Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you'll bring our values of empowering, inspiring, inclusive and integrity to life, securing meaningful partnerships that create shared value and lasting impact. Your work will help grow sustainable income, raise Age Scotland's profile, and ensure more older people across Scotland can live well and age well.

If you're a proactive relationship-builder with a proven track record of securing new business and turning opportunities into successful long-term partnerships, we'd love to hear from you.

The post will be Scotland-based, with a blend of office (Edinburgh-based) and home working. As a hybrid role the intention is that office-based and external facing work will constitute 40% of working time over each month. Age Scotland is a flexible employer, and flexible work patterns are available.

In return for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:

• Generous holiday allowance of 39 days (FTE)

• A range of learning and development opportunities

• Company sick pay

• Healthcare benefit through BHSF

• Discounted gym membership

Make a real difference to people living with dementia and their families.

STAND is a Fife charity led by people with lived experience of dementia. We believe that life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis — people can continue to grow, connect and enjoy new experiences. Nine trustees currently sit on STAND's Board of Trustees and, as a peer-led charity, three (including the Chairperson) live with dementia, three are/were carers and three have professional backgrounds.

We are currently seeking the following new Trustees to share with us their experience, talents, and passions:

• Trustee Secretary (further details attached)
• Trustee (ideally with experience in fundraising, but experience in campaigning, marketing, HR, creative pursuits or digital technology would also be beneficial).

Insight or personal experience of dementia or caring responsibilities would be an advantage. The STAND team is friendly and supportive, and you will be working with the charity's Development Lead and Administration Officer alongside trustees, volunteers, staff and members of the charity.

The Board of Trustees currently convenes every six weeks (usually from 2.00pm – 3.30pm), with the AGM in the autumn. Office Bearers and senior staff meetings usually take place quarterly. Most meetings are held in Kirkcaldy and travel expenses are reimbursed up to 30 miles from Kirkcaldy. Rarely, an additional Extraordinary General Meeting of the Board may take place.

Between meetings, it will be necessary to work remotely.

• Promote safeguarding and respond appropriately to concerns.

• Monitor quality and contribute to planning, improvement and organisational projects.

• Contribute to management meetings, decision-making and wider organisational development, while ensuring compliance with policies, SSSC standards and regulatory requirements.

About you

• Experience of working with children and families, particularly children aged 0–3, in early years, childcare, family support, social care or a related field.

• Experience of supporting, guiding or leading staff.

• Sound knowledge of child development, early intervention and safeguarding.

• Strong communication, organisation, collaboration and professional judgement.

• You must hold SVQ 4 (Children and Young People) at SCQF Level 9, and either hold, or be willing to work towards and achieve, an SSSC-recognised management qualification within three years of appointment.
