Scotland’s Hospices Together is a partnership of independent hospices. Each hospice is a registered charity in its own right, delivering end-of-life care services and raising funds in their community. By undertaking collaborative fundraising under the umbrella of Scotland’s Hospices Together we aim to reach a national audience not accessible to individual partners.
The National Corporate Fundraising Lead is a new post, responsible for the development and delivery of national Scottish corporate campaigns for the benefit of the members of Scotland’s Hospices Together.
You will have excellent written and communication skills with a proven track history of successfully managing and developing income and awareness. You will also have the vision and planning skills to identify and develop ideas and initiatives, and to drive forward income generation and partnerships.
You will be tasked with the following areas of work to maximise income for the independent Scottish hospices involved:
1. Securing vital income from national Scottish corporate fundraising partnerships to fund the work of independent hospices. Year one target of £100,000 rising to at least £250,000 by the end of year three.
2. Developing a compelling case for support for Scotland’s Hospices Together which is specifically targeted at businesses in Scotland.
3. Leading on the development of brand assets, website and social media presence for Scotland’s Hospices Together, with a budget to do so.
4. Researching and identifying potential corporate partners and preparing a plan and pipeline for applications and proactive approaches.
5. Leading on the delivery of pitches, applications and approaches across Scotland.
6. Acting as an ambassador for Scotland’s Hospices Together members, at all times representing the best interests of the members, and ultimately the patients and families we support.
7. Working across all members to negotiate and coordinate involvement in all relevant campaigns, pitches, applications and activity.
On appointment we will agree a series of key performance indicators including number of applications and pitches made and the level of income generated, by which success will be measured.

EMPLOYER:
This is a full-time position employed by St Columba’s Hospice Care, Edinburgh on behalf of the Scotland’s Hospices Together partners.
The post will be managed on a day-to-day basis by the Director of Income Generation at St Columba’s Hospice Care in Edinburgh. Support, guidance and reviews will be carried out by the Director at St Columba’s Hospice Care. Reports will be provided in person and in writing to all partners on a regular basis.
You can be based at St Columba’s Hospice Care in Edinburgh, from home or a hybrid of both. Consideration will be given to being based at any partner Hospice on request. Successful delivery of targets will involve extensive travel across Scotland visiting hospices and corporate partners. We expect the successful candidate will demonstrate a wide range of the essential criteria identified in the person specification but recognise there may still be skill gaps. In order to increase chances of success, all partner hospices will be on hand to support the post-holder with any areas they need further development. The post holder will be contracted to St Columba’s Hospice Care and appointed under their terms and conditions.
We want to ensure that as much of our resources as possible go towards supporting people with a terminal illness and therefore we do not normally contact unsuccessful applicants individually. If you have not heard from us within four weeks of the closing date, please assume that your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. However, we would encourage you to apply for other suitable roles. Thank you for your interest in this vacancy and in working for St. Columba’s Hospice.
