Who we are:

Scripture Union Scotland is a national charity, with around 100 staff and over 2,000 volunteers. Our vision is to see every child and young person of Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus.

We are seeking to recruit a Fundraising Coordinator to join our Fundraising Team. This is a newly created role to support the development of our fundraising activities.

Purpose

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising, the Fundraising Coordinator will work closely with the Fundraising Team to help deliver our fundraising and development priorities. The role will work across all income streams – trusts, major donors, individual giving and legacies with a strong focus on securing trust and foundation income, fundraising administration, supporter care and the coordination of fundraising materials and resources. The role will also contribute to reporting of Scripture Union Scotland’s impact - collecting data, case studies and updates from across our ministries to report back to funders. The post holder will also be involved in research to find new funding sources and prospects.

Key Responsibilities

· Maintain administrative systems, fundraising CRM, and databases, keeping up-to-date records of opportunities, applications, and results.

· Provide support to the Major Donor and Trusts Manager by conducting detailed, compliant research, including identifying new potential high-value supporters and trust funding sources for SU Scotland.

· Provide support to the Individual Giving Manager across a wide range of income streams: appeals, legacy fundraising, regular giving programme, donor acquisition and supporting the wider staff team in fundraising.

· Contribute to the administration and stewardship of donors and work with the Fundraising team to coordinate and improve supporter care processes.

· Develop and update fundraising materials and resources.

· Be the first point of contact for all fundraising enquiries, responding promptly to all supporters.

· Participate fully in the life and ministry of Scripture Union Scotland.

Who we are looking for:

We are seeking applicants who have experience of working in a fundraising team and have good research and analytical skills, with the ability to contribute to the development of new prospects and funding pipelines. The successful applicant will be able to develop positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders. An ability to project manage and multi task is also critical.

For this post, it is important that you are committed to SU Scotland’s ethos, working principles and vision and can demonstrate this through your commitment and motivation. It is also an Occupational Requirement (Equality Act - part 1, schedule 9), that the post-holder is a committed Christian.
