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.

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.

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

• 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.
