Launched in 2013, Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance has grown and now works in partnership with the Scottish Ambulance Service as an integral part of Scotland’s frontline emergency response network. They respond to trauma incidents and medical emergencies across the country, covering an area of more than 30,000 square miles, with services that save and improve lives across Scotland every day.

Initially, a single helicopter operating from Perth Airport, SCAA added a second in 2020 which is based at Aberdeen Airport. The two helicopters, alongside two rapid response vehicles, take expert paramedic care to the scene of time-critical emergencies. SCAA then transports patients to hospitals all over Scotland to receive the most appropriate medical care.

In an emergency time is critical and this is where SCAA makes a huge difference. A patient’s chance of survival and full recovery are greatly increased if they receive the right medical care within the first hour of injury or illness. SCAA can be airborne within five minutes of receiving an emergency call and reach anywhere in Scotland in under 75 minutes. Their fast response and ability to reach some of the country’s most remote and rural areas save vital minutes when every second counts.

As Scotland’s only charity air ambulance, SCAA provides a leading-edge air ambulance service that is integral to emergency services in Scotland. Over the last 8 years, SCAA has responded to almost 3,000 callouts and in 2020 alone, they responded to 460 emergency callouts, of which 47% were trauma cases. Every life-saving mission undertaken in a SCAA helicopter costs approximately £2,500. Funded by the people of Scotland, primarily through donations, fundraising, events and our life-saving lottery, these statistics and figures demonstrate the essential requirement for SCAA to have a leading-edge fundraising team to match their leading-edge life-saving services.

The Community Fundraising Officers are essential roles in the fundraising team at SCAA. As the charity commits to developing and increasing community fundraising activity across Scotland, these Officers in Argyll & Bute and Fife and Dundee will be key in achieving this. They will develop excellent local relationships, create opportunities to give and position SCAA as the charity of choice within the community. The Fundraising Officers will work closely with SCAA volunteers, community groups, individuals and schools to increase awareness of the charity, maximising supporter engagement and drive fundraising in their region.

SCAA requires each Community Fundraising Officer to be either an experienced community fundraiser with third sector experience or demonstrate significant experience in grass-roots community engagement and be embedded in their respective local region. They must be highly motivated for the cause and a self-starter with excellent community engagement experience and time and budget management skills. The Community Fundraising Officers must know the principles of community fundraising, principles of volunteering and have experience organising and delivering events. Experience recruiting, managing and supporting volunteers is required. They should be able to evidence a track record of developing and managing external relationships and partnerships as well as demonstrable success in achieving fundraising or sales targets. This role requires someone highly organised with meticulous attention to detail, shows initiative and effectively prioritises their workload.

These roles are home-based with work across your region (Argyll & Bute or Fife or Dundee)

You'll be joining a small but friendly and committed team, dedicated to building lasting relationships with The Lullaby Trust's amazing supporters and raising the income needed to ensure we can continue our vital, life-saving work.

This role is currently a 9 month fixed term contract but with the potential to extend. The post is for 21 hours a week and will be home based until we are back working in our Head Office in central London, when occasional travel to the office may be required for meetings. An even spread of hours across the working week would be preferable, although this can be discussed at interview.

About You

We’re looking for a self-motivated individual with excellent attention to detail and a commitment to fantastic supporter care. You’ll be equally as happy carrying out thorough administrative processes as you are chatting to donors on the phone.

The ideal candidate will have experience of building individual giving income streams and/or working in a supporter care focused role. You will have strong verbal and written communication skills and demonstrable experience of creating engaging, persuasive appeal copy. A positive, determined attitude and willingness to get stuck in will be key, as will your compassion for our bereaved beneficiaries and supporters.
