About Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time. People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters. As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at whatever time of day.
The Role
We are seeking an organised, proactive and people-focussed HR Assistant to join our HR function at Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance. Working closely with the HR Officer and colleagues throughout the charity, the successful candidate will coordinate recruitment and onboarding activities, maintain HR systems and records, support payroll and learning and development processes, and help ensure our people practices remain compliant, efficient and aligned with our values.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their HR career in a role that offers exposure across the full employee life cycle. You will play a key role in delivering an efficient and professional HR service, supporting colleagues and managers across the charity while helping to create a positive employee experience.
This role will be based in Perth, at Scone Airport. SCAA supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements—our current approach typically includes two office days per week for those working on a hybrid basis (pro-rata). This is a part-time position working 22.5 hours per week. We offer flexibility regarding the working pattern, which will be agreed with the successful candidate to support both individual and charity needs. Occasional visits to our Aberdeen base will be required.
About You
We are looking for someone who:
- Has previous administrative experience, ideally within an HR, people or office environment.
- Has excellent organisational skills and can manage multiple priorities effectively.
- Demonstrates strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy.
- Is confident using Microsoft Office applications and HR systems.
- Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Understands the importance of handling confidential information sensitively and professionally.
- Enjoys working collaboratively and building positive relationships across an organisation.
- Is committed to providing excellent customer service and creating a positive colleague experience.

Our Benefits
- Pension: 12% employer’s & 5% employee’s contribution (after 3 months’ service)

This is a unique opportunity to lead fundraising for a charity at the cusp of substantial growth, with an exceptional track record of recent fundraising success, an engaged base of supporters and significant untapped potential across multiple channels.
Overview
As Director of Fundraising and Development for Plum Village UK, you will provide strategic leadership of the charity’s fundraising at this critical juncture. Building on the successful campaigns that brought our new Being Peace Practice Centre into being, you will lead the development of a sustainable, diversified fundraising operation across donor stewardship, trusts and foundations, regular giving, legacies, and partnerships, to deepen relationships of trust and gratitude with our supporters.
This role is ideal for a fundraising leader, whether from a career fundraising background or another field, who brings strategic capability alongside deep alignment with the Plum Village tradition, where fundraising itself becomes a form of engaged practice in service of mindfulness and community transformation.
Fundraising in the Plum Village tradition is fundamentally relational. It is not a matter of extracting income from a base of supporters, but of deepening the relationships of trust, gratitude and shared purpose with those who make our work possible, in ways that embody the values of the tradition. Done well, fundraising is itself a form of engaged practice. The Director will be expected to lead the function in this spirit.
The role comes with a high level of strategic ownership. An initial fundraising strategy has been developed and shared with trustees, providing a framework of priority channels, governance arrangements and resourcing for the next phase. The new Director will inherit this as a starting frame, and will then be empowered and expected to develop, refine and bring forward a fundraising strategy on their own authority, working closely with the Lead Trustee for Fundraising and presenting proposals to the board as appropriate. The role also carries operational ownership of the fundraising mechanics, including the choice and management of supporting systems, databases and tools.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic leadership of fundraising
-
Lead PVUK's fundraising strategy, developing and refining the strategic direction, and presenting proposals to the Board for approval and resourcing.
-
Set, monitor, and report on fundraising targets across all income channels, in agreement with the Lead Trustee for Fundraising and the Board.
-
Provide regular substantive updates on fundraising at quarterly board meetings, working with the Lead Trustee on the preparation of board-level reporting.
-
Bring forward analysis and proposals to support the Board in setting wider strategic priorities, including realistic income potential by channel and the investment required to secure it.
-
Identify and manage risk in the fundraising portfolio, including channel concentration, donor over-reliance, and the sustainability of resourcing.
Donor stewardship and relationship development
-
Lead the stewardship of PVUK’s existing donors, lenders, and supporters with the depth of care that this base deserves, recognising it as the most precious resource of the fundraising function.
-
Cultivate and deepen relationships with major donors, including through personal contact, site visits, and tailored communication of impact.
-
Work with the Chair of Trustees, the Centre Director, and other senior figures on key relationships that require their involvement.
-
Steward the friendly lender base throughout the lifetime of their loans, maintaining trust and keeping them informed of the charity’s progress.
-
Build and maintain a culture of gratitude and recognition that appropriately honours the contributions of all supporters.
Income channel development
-
Lead delivery and growth across PVUK’s priority fundraising channels: donor stewardship, trust and foundation fundraising, regular giving, legacies and Gifts in Wills, and partnerships with values-aligned organisations and networks.
-
Develop trust and foundation fundraising as a substantial new income stream, including scoping aligned funders, building peer-to-peer introductions, constructing tailored funding propositions, and overseeing high-quality application writing and reporting.
-
Design and grow a regular giving programme that converts members, retreatants and supporters into ongoing monthly donors.
-
Develop a structured legacy and Gifts in Wills programme that normalises legacy giving across PVUK’s communications and supports those who wish to leave a Gift in their Will.
-
Develop partnerships with values-aligned organisations and networks where these support both income generation and the wider reach of PVUK’s work, in close consultation with monastics and trustees.
Operations, systems and budget ownership
-
Own the operational mechanics of fundraising for PVUK, including the choice, configuration and ongoing management of databases, donor management systems, online giving platforms, and integration with communications tools.
-
Manage the fundraising budget, including a discretionary supplementary budget for consultancy, training, materials creation, contracted support and light administrative resource, deployed at the Director’s judgement to develop the function effectively.
-
Maintain accurate, GDPR-compliant supporter records and ensure sound data practices throughout the fundraising operation.
-
Provide accurate financial reporting on fundraising performance, working with PVUK’s finance function and external accountants as required.
-
Make the case for additional resourcing where evidence of need supports it, including the possible recruitment of a Fundraising Officer in due course.
Communications and storytelling
-
Lead the development of compelling fundraising narratives that authentically convey the work of PVUK and the Being Peace Centre to multiple audiences, including major donors, institutional funders, individual supporters and the wider public.
-
Work closely with the PVUK Communications team on the integration of fundraising communications with the wider communications strategy.
-
Commission and oversee the production of fundraising materials, including written content, graphic design, video and digital assets, drawing on contracted specialists where appropriate.
-
Ensure that all fundraising messaging about the Being Peace Practice Centre is agreed with the Centre Director before publication.
Working partnerships across PVUK
-
Work in close partnership with the Centre Director on all matters relating to Being Peace, with agreed ways of working on messaging, external representation, and any programming commitments made to funders.
-
Work with the Lead Trustee for Fundraising as primary day-to-day point of contact at board level, supporting the Lead Trustee to hold strategic oversight of fundraising on behalf of the Board.
-
Work with colleagues across PVUK’s communications, dharma programming, sangha-building and partnership functions, with these working relationships developing naturally in the first months of the role.
-
Draw on external advisors and specialists as needed for support and assurance, both in technical fundraising disciplines and in sector-specific knowledge.
-
Engage volunteer capacity from within the community where this can valuably supplement the fundraising operation.
We build mindful communities in the UK inspired by the teachings of ‘Father of Mindfulness’ Thich Nhat Hanh.



About the role
We are currently recruiting for a Senior Marketing Manager (Support and Influencing) to join on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week on a fixed-term contract for 12 months. This is a home-based role, with occasional travel required for in-person team meetings and events.
As Senior Marketing Manager (Support and Influencing), your role will be pivotal in galvanising our society around dementia: creating the conditions for greater public engagement, determination and pressure for change.
Your work will position dementia as a major health and social issue, mobilising the public to pressure the system for better diagnosis, treatment, care and support. You will help us to move dementia from overlooked to unavoidable, whilst also contributing to increasing awareness and engagement with Alzheimer’s Society’s vital and life changing support services and health information.
You will also be leading the charge in driving the public to Demand a Better Future for people affected by dementia through targeted influencing marketing campaigns. You will build our influencing and campaigning marketing programme with key internal senior stakeholders to drive the public to pressure the government and the system to drive positive change around dementia diagnosis, treatment, care and support.
You will use audience centred, multi-channel marketing strategies, plans and activations to drive an increase in awareness, perceptions, understanding and engagement, helping us to continue to reach people affected by dementia with our life changing support services and health information. These marketing campaigns could cover paid, earned, owned, and shared media – and all will contribute to a high-quality brand experience.
We have provisionally scheduled the first stage interviews for this role to take place via MS Teams on Thursday 8th October.
About you
Joining us, you’ll have a strategic focus and extensive experience of developing and deploying successful multi-channel marketing strategies and campaigns – ideally within the charity sector, health sector or government.

Crucially, you’ll have experience managing and motivating a high performing team in addition to experience in planning, deploying and managing marketing budgets and resources effectively. You’ll be able to work well in collaboration with other teams, with the communication and interpersonal skills required to influence and inspire across all levels.
What you’ll focus on:
- Leading upper-funnel public engagement marketing that frames dementia as a major societal and public priority, building understanding, urgency and pressure for change alongside support and campaign marketing activity.
- Overseeing the development and delivery of integrated, multi-channel marketing strategies, plans and campaigns for support services, health information, public awareness, campaigning and influencing priorities.
- Leading senior stakeholder groups to agree priorities, influence upwards and ensure marketing resource, plans and seven-figure budgets are focused on activity with the greatest potential to deliver organisational impact.
- Running key steering and working groups to identify, unblock and respond to marketing challenges and opportunities.
- Leading cross-organisational teams and agency partners to deliver joined-up activity across paid, owned, earned and shared channels, maximising integration and cross-sell opportunities.
- Line managing two marketing executives and ensuring the team operates as a high-performing, efficient function, with clear priorities, strong ways of working and shared accountability for delivery.
- Overseeing media planning and implementation for support and influencing marketing campaigns in collaboration with inhouse delivery teams and external agencies.
