You’ll be a connector, a collaborator, and a champion for community – helping people feel supported, empowered, and proud to be part of the IOP.

As a charity dedicated to helping people in Edinburgh enjoy healthier, happier, and more active lives, Edinburgh Leisure is seeking an exceptional fundraiser to join the Funding Team.

You might not have realised Edinburgh Leisure is a charity, and in addition to providing citywide sports and leisure services and looking after 30,000 members annually, we support over 14,700 people though provision of 18 different wellbeing projects and services, supported by 187 volunteers! 

These wellbeing projects are part of our Active Communities programme dedicated to supporting people who face barriers to being active. This includes people experiencing poverty, disabilities, health conditions and other inequalities.

As our Trusts & Statutory Fundraiser, you will play an important role in securing the future of our Active Communities projects and supporting people who would not be able to access our services otherwise.  It costs around £1.5 million to deliver the programme each year, over half of which comes from statutory funding.

Whilst our funding strategy looks to diversify income through further developing a range of income streams including events and individual giving, our Trusts & Statutory Fundraiser will be crucial in continuing to secure trust and grant income through private trusts, lottery and corporate foundations, as well as supporting existing and new statutory contracts.

As you undoubtedly are aware, it’s challenging fundraising environment. The public sector’s funding continues to be squeezed, and trusts and foundations face overwhelming demand.  However, we have a strong case for support – physical activity has been described as a ‘miracle cure’ due to its role in preventing and treating a great many illnesses – and there are clear economic, social and personal benefits of helping people get and stay active.

The role

We’re seeking an innovative Head of Research to join our fantastic Support, Research and Influencing Directorate team and help us improve survival for people with pancreatic cancer.

Currently, pancreatic cancer has a five-year survival rate of just 7% due to late diagnosis and a lack of effective treatments. As our Head of Research, you’ll help us work with leading pancreatic cancer experts to develop an innovative strategy to accelerate research into this devastating disease in the UK. Pancreatic Cancer UK invests around £2.5 million in research each year. You’ll lead on developing and delivering our research programme to ensure we invest this money well and fund quality research that will have an impact.

About You 

• You’ll have a strong track record in developing and implementing research strategy that drives impact.
• You’ll take an innovative approach to research activity, learning from others in the community and incorporating new ideas that can accelerate progress in meeting research objectives.
• You’ll have substantial experience in grant award and management processes, including running grant rounds, working with large external committees, governance, peer review, and evaluating the impact of funding schemes.

If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

About working for us

This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is really committed to making a difference. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, dynamic, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support you and develop you should you wish this, and you get the opportunity to be involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance, and you will feel that your contribution is valued and matters.

About us 

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been side-lined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector. 

Safeguarding

PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.
