Trusts and Foundations Officer

37.5 hours per week, £28,000 (12 month contract)

Are you an experienced Trust and Foundations fundraiser with a love of storytelling and copywriting?

Loneliness has the same impact on mortality as 15 cigarettes a day and in this role, you will help the Fundraising Team to realise ambitious targets and help change people’s lives, bringing people together in their local community to improve health and wellbeing.

At The Eric Liddell Community our vision is a community where no one feels lonely. We are driving progress towards this by: providing a Day Service for people living with dementia alongside a programme of community-based activities for people living withdementia; a programme of well-being activities, courses and classes for unpaid carers, and running our vibrant Community Hub, in the heart of Edinburgh.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience of working in a similar fundraising role. We are looking for someone who is passionate about people coming together and the power of community; who can manage multiple priorities and generate fundsfrom trusts, foundations and other grant making bodies to support a variety of projects and initiatives across the charity; and is a collaborative and hardworking team player.

If you would like to work for a local care charity, in a friendly and supportive working environment with a focus on staff wellbeing and development, in a rewarding role where you will really make a difference to people’s lives, then join us here at TheEric Liddell Community.
