📣 WE ARE HIRING… Come join our team…
We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.
Do you want to be part of that?
Working within our values and behaviours framework, you will play a key role in delivering DofE’s fundraising ambitions across Scotland, helping to secure the philanthropic investment needed to achieve the goals set out in our new World Ready strategy and ensure more young people can access the life-changing opportunities DofE provides.
You will manage and grow a portfolio of major donors, and Trusts and Foundations, securing five- and six-figure gifts and developing long-term partnerships that support DofE’s strategic priorities across Scotland. Alongside managing existing supporters, you will identify, cultivate and secure new funding opportunities, building a strong pipeline of prospects and helping to diversify income sources.
Working closely with the Director of Scotland, Head of Philanthropy, colleagues across Scotland and senior volunteers, you will develop compelling cases for support, create tailored funding proposals, and deliver outstanding stewardship that inspires donors to deepen their engagement with DofE.
The role will be home-based with regular travel across Scotland to meet donors, attend events and engage with stakeholders. It will require regular travel to London, and occasional travel to other parts of the UK
