Community Fundraiser (Scotland)

Who are we?

​Recently named one of the Third Sector's ‘Best Charities to Work For’, we are committed to moving further, faster to accelerate change for everyone affected by a brain tumour. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 in the UK than any other cancer. We know that a cure can’t wait. By recruiting a team that ‘can’, we can and will find one sooner.​

Our exciting job role!

​Our Community Fundraising team work closely with individuals, companies, clubs and groups across the UK to deliver supporter led fundraising activities - driving income and engagement through the development of compelling fundraising propositions and the delivery of excellent supporter experience while building a network of volunteers to enable them to work at scale and maximise opportunities to raise funds and increase support in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Cumbria & Lancashire.

You’ll also be creative and organised  — full of ideas that you are capable of taking from initial concept to delivery — and you’ll be commercial in your approach, understanding the power of data to drive engagement and income.

If this is for you, we’d love to hear from you!
