Head of Partnerships and Philanthropy

3 weeks ago


Edinburgh, United Kingdom Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) Full time

CHAS has been operating in Scotland for 30 years. It offers a whole range of support for the thousands of children with a life shortening illness and their families. This includes palliative care, family respite and support. This is delivered through its two hospices in Kinross and Balloch, homecare services and by having a hospital presence.

This is one of Scotland’s most high profile and respected charities. Not just for the work it does but for its impressive fundraising. It currently generates £10 million per annum across the whole range of income channels. However, that still only enables it to reach 1 in 3 families that could benefit from its support. It wants to do so much more.

Its new Head of Partnerships and Philanthropy will play a crucial role in sustaining the current level of income and growing donations through major gift fundraising. This person will lead a team of 10 across corporate partnerships, high profile events, grants and trusts and major donors. The current income generated by this team is circa £2.5 million with ambitions to grow this to £3 million within the next 5 years. CHAS believes there is lots of untapped potential in this area.

The person we are looking for needs to be a major gift expert with an emphasis on major donor fundraising. You will be part of the leadership team within the Fundraising and Communications Directorate and will support the overall strategy for growth. You will represent the department on other cross organisational committees and deputise for the Director on occasion. (This is a responsibility shared with the other senior managers). You will need deep and senior experience in strategy development and successful delivery, campaign planning and management, volunteer management and line management. You will need to be passionate about the work of hospices and comfortable in that setting. It goes without saying that you will be committed to ethical codes of conduct when it comes to fundraising and completely aligned with CHAS’s values. As well as being tenacious and determined to succeed, CHAS asks you to bring a little fun into the workplace. This, too, is what makes it a special place to work.

In return, you will be offered an excellent remuneration package with outstanding benefits including a generous pension and if moving from out with Scotland, relocation financial support is available.
