Community Fundraising Officer - Scotland

We’re now on the lookout for a Community Fundraising Officer to join us on a full-time basis. This is a temporary 12-month role with a view to go permanent.

The Role

As our Community Fundraising Officer, you’ll be responsible for engaging with the local community, attending local events and delivering presentations to attract new supporters and secure donations.
