We are seeking an experienced, Glasgow-based fundraiser to join us as a Regional Development Officer. In this role, you’ll be a confident, visible champion for Mary’s Meals, someone who knows the city, understands its communities, and can build relationships that spark action. You’ll bring boldness and creativity to your work, whether delivering inspiring talks in churches and schools, making fundraising asks or forging genuine partnerships with local businesses and networks.
Using your deep knowledge of Glasgow’s people and places, you will identify high‑potential opportunities, grow income and participation, and cultivate a committed local movement of supporters and volunteers. Through strategic, outward‑facing work, you’ll turn first conversations into committed, long‑term support that strengthens our movement and fuels our mission.
Working closely with the Head of Scotland, you will co‑design and deliver a local growth plan shaped by the pulse of your region. You will represent Mary’s Meals across faith communities, schools, community groups, business networks, and key connectors, bringing energy, authenticity, and a passion for our mission.
Highly autonomous, you’ll combine insight, data, and local intuition to focus on areas of greatest opportunity. You’ll collaborate across the organisation to create seamless supporter journeys and tell compelling, meaningful stories. Everything you do will reflect Mary’s Meals’ warmth, simplicity, and dignity.
Key responsibilities include
- Work with the Head of Scotland to create and deliver an insight‑driven regional growth plan, with clear priorities around income, visibility, and volunteer mobilisation.
- Use local knowledge, data, and community insight to focus your time on the strongest opportunities for growth.
- Balance relationship‑building with a proactive, opportunity-led approach, identifying new supporters, networks, and partnerships and developing them from prospective supporters into committed donors.
- Actively network across Glasgow to initiate new meetings, build connections, and follow up purposefully.
- Represent Mary’s Meals with authenticity and enthusiasm across schools, churches, parishes, universities, community groups, and local businesses.
- Deliver engaging talks, assemblies, parish visits, small events, networking sessions, and partnership meetings that increase income, participation, and visibility.
- Build a diverse pipeline of leads and partnerships that reflect Glasgow’s communities and faith landscape.
- Create the environment for a strong volunteer network and empower volunteers through thoughtful delegation, coaching, encouragement, and recognition.

Group Head of Finance
Eltham College Family of Schools | South East London
Salary circa £75,000 + excellent benefits
A rare opportunity to join one of London’s leading independent school groups at a genuinely exciting point of transformation and growth.
The Eltham College Family of Schools — comprising Eltham College Senior School, Eltham College Junior School and Blackheath Prep — is a high-performing, values-led organisation with an outstanding reputation for academic excellence and a rich co-curricular offering. Named London Independent School of the Year 2024 by The Sunday Times, the group continues to thrive despite wider sector challenges.
This is a pivotal appointment.
The newly created Group Head of Finance role offers the chance to step into a business that is not only successful, but evolving — with significant change underway across systems, structure and ways of working. For a commercially minded and hands-on finance leader, this is an opportunity to truly get your teeth stuck into something meaningful.
The opportunity
Reporting to the Bursar and working closely with the Executive Team, you will act as the senior finance professional across the group, providing both strategic leadership and operational oversight.
Crucially, you will join at a time of real momentum:
- A new finance system is being implemented across the group, requiring leadership to embed, optimise and enhance reporting capability
- The finance function is undergoing restructure, offering the opportunity to shape team design, capability and future direction
- There is a clear mandate to modernise processes, strengthen controls and drive efficiencies
- Senior stakeholders are engaged and open to fresh thinking and improvement
This is not a role where you simply maintain — this is a role where you build.
You will lead financial planning, reporting and governance across all three schools, supporting key strategic decisions including investment, estates development and long-term financial sustainability. Alongside this, you will remain close to the detail, ensuring operational excellence across the finance function.
The environment
Set across a stunning 70-acre campus in south-east London, Eltham College combines heritage with ambition. The group benefits from strong financial foundations, high demand, and a clear vision for continued success.
It is a collaborative and values-driven environment, underpinned by a commitment to education, development and community. Staff benefit from excellent facilities, strong leadership, and a culture that genuinely invests in people.
The person
We are looking for a qualified accountant with strong technical grounding and proven experience operating in a senior finance role.
You will bring:
- Experience of leading finance within a complex, multi-entity or multi-site environment
- A track record of improving systems, processes and controls
- The ability to lead through change and bring teams with you
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the credibility to influence at senior level
- A proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to balance strategy and delivery
Experience within education or the independent school sector would be beneficial, but is not essential.
Why join?
This is an opportunity to join a thriving organisation that is not standing still — but actively investing in its future.
You will play a key role in shaping a modern, high-performing finance function, with the autonomy and support to make a real impact. For someone motivated by change, improvement and leadership, this role offers both challenge and reward in equal measure.
If interested do get in touch with Rosemary Pini from Allen Lane who is partnering with Eltham College with this vacancy.
Thank you!
