• Strong communication skills, including the ability to engage with diverse audiences and communicate complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner.
• Strong analytical skills and creative problem-solving abilities to identify barriers, develop innovative solutions, and address complex challenges related to digital exclusion and e-waste management.

• The willingness and ability to provide flexible support, including support in the community and a variety of settings

Do you want to join our commitment to ensure no family faces cancer alone?

We are looking for a standout relationship manager to join our fantastic team of fundraisers who work tirelessly to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer. This is a role of variety, opportunity and innovation and we are looking for someone who embraces change and constantly strives to achieve more.

A great personality and team ethic are really important in this role as you will maximise income for Young Live vs Cancer by coaching our supporters to reach their goals, whilst seeking out new fundraising opportunities for your geographical area. This role sits within the ‘Supporter Experience’ team and we need someone with natural customer service skills who wants to deliver a legendary experience to all of their supporters. Your team of supporters will range from volunteers and individuals, to groups and local corporates.

The South & West of Scotland is an area filled with some of our most committed supporters but there is still so much opportunity to grow corporate support across the counties. Our Social Workers support families across the region and our Home from Home 'Marion's House' in Glasgow enables families to stay close to their loved one for free during treatment, so building relationships with these teams are a must.

We are not your average employer, nor are we looking for an average candidate in a 9-5 role. What we offer is the flexibility and adaptivity to ensure that your personal work/life balance is taken care of. Whether it is finishing early for an appointment, picking up from school or further education, we can help to make it work for you. Many of the team work condensed or flexible hours to suit their individual circumstance so we would love to discuss your needs more at interview.

Experience within a similar role, or within the charity sector would be great but we know that a lot of the most important skills in this role are easily transferable from another sector. We want the right person and we will invest in training the right candidate. The skills we are looking for in this role are:

• Master at storytelling

• Epic at relationship building

• Strong prioritisation skills

• Great communicator

• Self-Motivated

• Self-Aware

• Great at spotting opportunities

• Influencing/Negotiating

• Compassion

• Bravery

• Integrity

• Team player

The must haves:

• Have a full UK driving licence and access to a car (including business insurance)

• Have a sufficient Broadband connection

• Live within the South & West of Scotland region. Candidates who live outside of the local authority should highlight an intention to relocate to the area in their covering letter for their application to be considered

• This role is subject to a Criminal Record Check. In the event of a successful application a Disclosure report will be sought at a Basic level.

If you think this sounds like you then please have a read of the attached job specification. If you would like to discuss the role before applying, please contact us via email to arrange an informal chat.
