About the Organisation

This organisation is a leader in delivering sustainable home solutions and energy efficiency initiatives. They work across Scotland, helping households reduce energy use and improve sustainability, while supporting innovation through partnerships and consultancy services.

Are you an experienced fundraiser looking for a meaningful role where your skills can make a real difference? A forward-thinking organisation dedicated to sustainable living and energy efficiency is seeking a Fundraising Development Lead to help more households reduce their carbon footprint.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will be central to securing funding for projects and services across Scotland.
