About The Role

We're looking for an experienced fundraiser to help us grow and diversify our income at an important time for LGBT Health and Wellbeing.

Demand for our services continues to grow, whilst the funding environment is becoming increasingly challenging. We have ambitious plans for the future, and building a stronger, more sustainable income base is essential to making those plans a reality.

As our Fundraising and Partnerships Manager, you'll take a hands-on role in securing significant funding, with a particular focus on trusts and foundations and corporate partnerships. You'll build relationships with funders and supporters, identify new opportunities, and develop compelling proposals that help us secure the resources needed to support LGBTQ+ communities across Scotland.

You'll also provide leadership and line management to our Fundraising and Partnerships Coordinator, supporting them to grow our individual giving programme and build a stronger base of regular donors.

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you'll play an important role in shaping our fundraising approach, taking ownership of income targets, and developing a strong pipeline of opportunities for the future.

About You

We're looking for someone with a proven track record of securing funding and the confidence, creativity, and determination to develop new opportunities.

You’ll be an excellent relationship builder and a credible communicator, able to turn ideas into compelling funding proposals and lasting partnerships. You'll be comfortable taking responsibility for delivering results, balancing longer-term planning with the practical work needed to bring funding in.

Above all, you'll share our commitment to LGBTQ+ equality and be motivated by the opportunity to use your fundraising expertise to make a real difference to people's lives.
