Street Connect is a Christian organisation with a mission to offer hope and opportunity of recovery for people disadvantaged by addiction and associated issues, including homelessness and poor mental health.
Our experience has shown us that working closely with partner churches to deliver support within communities is a successful way for people to access the support that they need. We currently have Street Connect partner churches or projects in Glasgow City Centre, Possilpark, Clydebank, Paisley, Greenock and Blackwood. As we continue our vital work in each of these areas, our aim is to grow into new communities and allow as many people as possible to access the support they need.
To help achieve this, we are seeking to recruit a Community Fundraiser to join our Fundraising Team who, with the support of the Fundraising and Marketing Manager, can shape fundraising within the areas we work.
You will build, develop and maintain strong relationships throughout each area. You will inspire and support donors and volunteers, creating opportunities for people to give in order to raise the income needed.

Full-time post: 37.5 hours per week. Applicants interested in part-time hours may also be considered. If this is of interest, please state clearly on your application your preferred number of hours.
