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.

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 who has just finished higher education (or equivalent) and has the drive and passion to succeed.

WHO ARE WE?

TRIBE Freedom Foundation (TFF) is the charity inspired by a 1,000-mile run in 2013 to set up the first home for trafficked children in the UK called Run for Love. Today, we work to fight modern slavery across the UK, by raising awareness, providing funding and support to empower survivors of modern slavery with access to long-term support and equipping key stakeholders with the tools to prevent modern slavery. Our work has been featured in the Times, BBC, Daily Mail and other publications. TFF works closely alongside its sister company, TRIBE, the UK’s leading plant performance brand.
