Hours: Full time (we would consider a 0.8 role on a pro-rata basis)
Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Friday 7th November 2025 at 11.59pm

The Role

As Fundraising Manager, you’ll play a central role in helping Winning Scotland deliver sustainable growth by identifying and securing new income across trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, statutory and government funding, and public sector contracts.

Working closely with programme leads and the senior leadership team, you’ll research, prioritise, and secure funding opportunities to support the charity’s ambitious growth plans over the next 2–3 years. You’ll also develop strong relationships with funders, write compelling funding applications, and provide excellent stewardship and reporting.

You’ll focus on growing income from institutional and corporate sources, while senior leaders continue to manage high-value individual donor relationships, allowing you to concentrate on developing strong pipelines and managing effective bids.

About You

You’ll be a skilled and motivated fundraiser with a solid understanding of the Scottish and wider UK funding landscape.

You’ll have:

• A proven track record of securing income from trusts, foundations, corporates and/or statutory sources
• Strong bid-writing and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex programme work into persuasive proposals
• Excellent relationship management and stewardship abilities
• The capacity to work independently, manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines

Ideally, you will also bring:

• Experience of strategic, high-value fundraising in a small or growing charity
• An understanding of issues affecting young people and youth-focused sectors
• Experience using design tools (e.g. Canva) to create professional proposals and reports
• Knowledge of international funding sources such as the US and Europe

Why Join Us?

Winning Scotland is a charity dedicated to helping young people in Scotland build confidence, resilience, and ambition by working with the adults and systems that shape their lives.

We’re currently delivering programmes that embed growth mindset, explore the potential of AI in learning, and drive cultural change through community engagement.

With a stable financial base and committed supporters, we’re ready to scale our work—and you’ll be at the heart of making that happen. You’ll join a supportive, values-driven team with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on young people’s lives across Scotland.

Benefits include:

• 35 days paid annual leave including the eight statutory bank holidays
• Life assurance
• Loyalty-based rewards including health insurance, pension top-ups, or extra leave
• Flexible working arrangements
• Supportive and collaborative culture

Other roles you may have experience within Fundraising Manager, Fundraiser, Trusts and Foundations, Corporate Partnerships Manager, Corporate Fundraising Manager, Fundraising Executive, Fundraising Officer, Senior Fundraiser, Partnerships Manager, Trust and Grants Manager, Senior Fundraising Manager, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: This role is being advertised by NFP People on behalf of the organisation.

Role purpose
The Client Support Worker (Crisis Navigator) will work with clients to provide non-judgemental, person-centred support. The work undertaken will be led by the different needs of each client, but will include: liaising with statutory services and advocating for clients’ needs to be met, for example with housing teams, social care, mental health services, etc.; support with form filling; support with grants, welfare benefits and income maximisation; emergency applications; supporting with emotional needs and psychoeducation.

The successful candidate will manage a caseload of individuals, taking referrals from their legal colleagues. This will involve a combination of immediate intervention (for example, access to a medication prescription upon release from custody), and longer-term work, planned in partnership with clients. Preventative work will be actively encouraged, supporting clients to address needs before crisis point wherever possible – both through direct work and through referrals and signposting.

Due to the nature of the work, if successful, you will need to have an up-to-date DBS check completed prior to undertaking unsupervised client work.
 

Key Responsibilities

• Triage, onboard and support a caseload of individuals autonomously
• Maintain an up to date understanding of what needs clients might have (e.g. with welfare benefits, support from statutory services, housing)
• Liaise with core agencies (social services, mental health teams, GPs, VCSE organisations)
