You are confident operating at a strategic level and enjoy seeing strategy become reality. Whilst our 'wish list' would probably include experience of the Arts, we would welcome conversations with senior philanthropy applicants who can demonstrate a genuine love and appreciation of the theatre.

For now, you'll largely be based from home while building work is underway. From 2022 your base will be the "new" Citz; part of a creative hub in the heart of Glasgow, living and breathing world-class work as it develops. Soaking up the energy and excitement, you'll experience first-hand the vitality and vibrancy of creative processes at work.

We are open to conversations around flexible working in all its forms.

If you'd like to be part of narrating the next chapter for the Citizen Theatre, please get in touch with Amelia Lee or Ellen Drummond.

Please note, final deadline for applications is 4th December, but we'd love to brief you early if you are interested. Interviews to be held w/c 7th December.

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with diverse organisations, networks and movements across Scotland, the UK and internationally in creating a series of digital and in person mobilisations on the ‘road to COP’, culminating with a successful, safe huge public event with an expected 500,000 people attending.

Funded for a fixed term January 2021 – December 2021.

Initially working remotely, you will be based in Glasgow and hosted by Friends of the Earth Scotland, with another Officer based in London, hosted by War on Want. The two Mass Mobilisation and Digital Engagement Officers will work closely to ensure a co-ordinated and successful delivery of mobilisation moments in the lead-up to COP26.

The post-holder will work with and alongside other key stakeholders such as NGOs, faith groups, trade unions, direct action groups, student and youth, migrant and racial justice, grassroots and international climate justice networks to ensure that popular mobilisations in response to the post COVID-19 economic crisis both integrate and centre climate demands, and anchor a ‘movement of movements’ approach.

As this is a UK Government hosted COP taking place in the devolved administration of Scotland, there is an unusual context to these talks. In planning and preparing for the mass mobilisation in November 2021, there will be cross-border political and civil society dynamics to consider, in addition to the repercussions of the Coronavirus pandemic.

The post-holder will need to be an excellent networker, highly organised, with a strong track record of planning and implementing events, preferably on a large-scale. Experience in online mobilisations and digital engagement is also required. Managed by the Coalition’s Glasgow Coordinator, also hosted by FoES, the role will be accountable to the Coalition. The post-holder will work closely with Coalition Working Groups, in particular the Mobilisation, Communications, and Glasgow Local Working Groups, in a flexible and open way that fully involves them in the planning and implementation of the mass mobilisations and any other planned mobilisations (digital and in person).

We would particularly like to encourage applications from people of colour / black or brown people and people most impacted by climate change or impacted by other kinds of environmental, social, and economic injustice who are currently under-represented in the climate and environmental movements in the UK. Due to the UK's racist border policies we are unable to arrange work permits for applicants without UK residency.

Three-year contact

Homebased - Scotland

A fantastic new opportunity has arisen for a fixed-term part-time Trusts Officer to join the Fundraising Team at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

SSAFA has been providing lifelong support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year our volunteers and staff helped more than 85,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to young men and women who have served in more recent conflicts, and their families. SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. We are here for that person – any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.

About the role

As the Trusts Officer for Scotland you will work with the Regional Fundraising Manager and the branch network across Scotland to identify and apply for trusts and grants to support our charitable work.  Although home-based, you will have the opportunity of visiting branches to meet our committed and passionate volunteers whilst gaining valuable knowledge and insights into the ongoing work and projects of the charity.

About the team

As we embark on an exciting period of change within the organisation you will be working with staff and volunteers to generate income.  Line-managed by the Regional Fundraising Manager for Scotland and NI, you will also be supported by our Central Office (London) Fundraising Team.

About you

This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in developing trust and grant funding support for SSAFA in Scotland.  So, a good understanding and knowledge of Scottish grant-makers and the philanthropic world is essential.

Ideally, you will bring your own contacts and networks to this role to build on the new business pipeline and research that has already been conducted. You will also be responsible for ensuring that all current funders are provided with excellent stewardship.

SSAFA is an employer that values the diversity of its workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

No agencies please. Any unsolicited submissions from agencies will be accepted as a direct application from the candidate and no fees will be payable.

Interviews: 14 and 15 December [If you are invited to attend an interview you will be required to undertake an aptitude test / deliver a presentation as part of the selection process.]

SSAFA is an Equal Opportunities Employer and is committed to using the Disclosure & Barring Service.
