Individual Giving Fundraiser

94% of our colleagues rate Age Scotland as a great place to work

Age Scotland is the Scottish charity for older people, working with and supporting thousands of older people across Scotland through our services, our membership network, and communities of interest.

Our mission is to inspire, involve, and empower older people in Scotland, and influence others so that people can enjoy better later lives. To help us achieve that, our Individual Giving Fundraiser will be responsible for growing our charitable income from individuals, both new and existing donors.

As an Individual Giving Fundraiser, you will design and implement a programme of individual giving campaigns to acquire new donors, secure repeat donations from existing donors, and upgrade one-off donors to regular givers to maximise our individual giving income. You will also monitor and evaluate the performance of each campaign and make tactical and strategic recommendations for future activity.

You will lead on developing our donor funnel, optimising donor journeys for existing and new supporters, and focusing on stewardship to ensure donors feel valued and understand the impact their donations make.

The post will be Scotland-based, a blend of office (Edinburgh-based) and home working. As a hybrid role, the intention is that office based and external facing work will constitute 40% of working time over each month. Age Scotland is a flexible employer and flexible work patterns are available. In return for your hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:

• A generous holiday allowance of 39 days (FTE)
• A range of learning and development opportunities
• Company sick pay
• Healthcare benefits through Westfield Health
• Discounted gym membership
• Cashback scheme from major retailers
• Contributory pension scheme with employer contributions of 9% 
• A comprehensive package of support through our Employee Assistance Programme 
• Group life cover up to three times your annual salary 
• Cycle to work scheme
• Paid carers leave and dependents’ support 
• The option to buy more holidays or sell them 
• Enhanced maternity and paternity policies

Full details of the role are available below. 

Closing date: Monday 3rd March at 12pm 2025.

Interviews will take place in Edinburgh on Thursday 13th March 2025.
