Income Generation Manager

** This role can be done on a 37.5 or 30 hours a week basis**

Perth Autism Support has been providing support to autistic children and young people under the age of 18 in the Perth and Kinross area for the past 12 years. They work closely with many different voluntary organisations to provide a number of social activities, information, support and advice. They strive to ensure that autistic children, young People and their families have access to quality services at a time that is right for them. This charity is very aware that a diagnosis of autism not only affects the individual, but the whole support network of that child/young person which is why they also offer sibling support and programmes for the whole family.

Perth Autism Support’s approach is to ensure that autistic children, young people, and their families have access to quality services at a time that is right for them whether the individual has a diagnosis of autism or are on the pathway for assessment. Every week, an average of 240 young people seek help from Perth Autism support and there are more than 870 families registered from their services.

Great things are happening at Perth Autism Support and now they are looking for a new Income Generation Manager to join the team. This is a new role which will oversee the fundraising function in line with the organisation Income Generation Strategy. You will work to ensure income maximisation for all areas of service whilst line managing the Community Fundraising Officer and the Trust and Foundations Officer. In your first new months in your new role you will be working to maximise trust and foundation income and be responsible for the Trust and Foundation applications. Day to day you may be seen to be working on budget setting, working on corporate relationships and researching different income streams.

We are ideally looking for someone who has experience working within a fundraising capacity and has the knowledge of different funding streams. This role would be suitable to someone who has experience of securing income (this could be in sales, business developing or funding applications). You must be someone who can work at a strategic level and able to be an excellent relationship manager. It would be beneficial to have a good understanding of the fundraising landscape. This may be through paid work or a volunteering capacity. To have the experience above is essential but we are essentially looing for someone who has a true passion for fundraising and the third sector. This is a line manager role so experience in previous line management is desirable, but the role is open to someone who is working at officer level (or equivalent) who is ready to take the next step in their career.

Perth Autism Support is a great place to work! There are numerous opportunities to develop in the role and the team are truly passionate about the cause. Perth Autism are the only organisation in the area that do what they do so this is the perfect opportunity to join an organisation that is connected nationally and truly makes a difference.
