The Scottish Schools Pipes and Drums Trust (SSPDT) is a national charity that supports and partners a wide range of not-for-profit organisations, community groups, and small and large charities in Scotland. You can read more about our work at sspdt.org.uk

Whilst the SSPDT is in a position to award grants to support youth music-making programmes, we are aware that volunteer fundraisers in communities often find it hard to find match funding because of a lack of time and knowledge. Although they run excellent programmes, they are much less likely to be able to secure funding than their professional, paid, fundraising counterparts, who are employed by larger, better funded organisations.

This new fundraising role will improve equality of access to funding for a range of volunteer groups across Scotland. By so doing, the role will expand opportunities for young people to learn instrumental music, and to make music and perform with others, building confidence, teamwork, resilience, perseverance and other important skills for life, learning and work.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, energetic individual who enjoys innovation, coaching, and has an ey for strategy as well as detail. We are a small, friendly team working in lovely office in central Edinburgh as well as remotely.

We are recruiting for a Learning Assistant, as part of our Energy through Time STEM archaeology learning project.
