VisionPK is a small, long-established charity providing support and services to people in Perth & Kinross who have sensory impairments.

We are looking for an experienced, successful fundraiser to continue our fundraising in Perth and Kinorss, with opportunities to develop a team in future.

Alongside your fundraising experience, you will also need to be enthusiastic, motivational and self motivated, with excellent people and communication skills, experienced in using social media to promote fundraising support and be able to plan, monitor budgets and think creatively and constructively.

Our Learning and Development Team is on an exciting new journey as it evolves into the Learning and Organisational Development (L&OD) Team. We are recruiting for an L&OD Manager who will help support and lead this change, playing a central role in shaping the new L&OD agenda here at CHAS.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the Head of L&OD, you will have the opportunity to manage colleagues in the department which currently consists of a Learning and Development Coordinator and Learning and Development Administrator. You will also be responsible for the design and delivery of learning across CHAS as well as L&OD project management.

About You

The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in learning and development design and delivery, have experience in manager and leadership development and have a good understanding of the fundamentals of organisational development. You will be able to work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation, including managers and senior leaders, and have a strong business partnering approach in your interactions with key stakeholders.

We are looking for a creative individual with fantastic people skills who will be able to ensure that our employees get the learning experiences they need, help the organisation meet its strategic objectives and support their new team to evolve into a high performing L&OD function. If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.

About CHAS

At CHAS, staff and volunteers work together as one team, focused on the common goal of reaching every family in Scotland who needs our support. We have a 3:1 ratio of volunteers to staff members in CHAS. All CHAS staff will at some point work with or alongside volunteers and will be expected to support volunteers.

Our ambition is to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying, and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together. As a Learning and Organisational Development Manager, you will be instrumental in achieving this vision.

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) was launched in May 2013 from Perth Airport to provide air ambulance capability in order to complement statutory resources across Scotland, delivering emergency relief of serious sickness and injury, as well as assisting in the speed of recovery time in critical medical emergencies. In April 2020, SCAA launched its second air ambulance which is based at Aberdeen Airport. Over the last eight years, SCAA has responded to over 3,000 callouts from its bases across Scotland. SCAA aim to provide a valued, sustainable, and leading national air ambulance service that is integral to emergency services in Scotland. On average, the team responds to two time-critical emergency call outs every single day.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join the team at SCAA. They are growing and looking to increase their presence across the entirety of Scotland. In addition to this exciting period of growth, SCAA are a national charity and receive no statutory government funding, so rely 100% on donations from the public to fuel their life-saving flights. Due to this, SCAA are now looking for three new Community Fundraising Officers to join the team. The three locations to be covered are:

• Glasgow based (this will also cover Stirling and Falkirk so could be based there)

• Perth, Dundee and Angus

• Argyll and Bute and surrounding areas.

The Community Fundraising Officer will work as part of the growing fundraising team and will work to identify, develop and analyse opportunities to maximise local fundraising income to meet or exceed income targets. You will be out and about in the community, working to develop and build relationships. You will work to organise and deliver successful fundraising events within your area. As a whole, you will work closely with volunteers, community groups, individuals and schools in order to increase brand awareness, maximise engagement, and overall drive fundraising in the region.

Whether you are an experienced fundraiser or you are looking to begin your career in the third sector, this role will be suitable for you. We are ideally looking for someone with a background in fundraising, with a knowledge of the current fundraising landscape. However, SCAA are willing to provide support, to mentor and grow candidates who are at the beginning of their career or have the right transferable skills. You may be someone with a background in sales or income generation with a passion for the sector. You may be someone who has just finished higher education (or equivalent) and has the drive and passion to succeed.
