This is an exciting and unique opportunity to dramatically increase income generation from individual giving through supporter attraction and retention, an exceptional donor experience and fostering well-established long-term relationships with UK-Med. Achievement of individual fundraising targets will be underpinned by high quality engagement (digital and print) and proactive use of data analytics.
UK-Med has an ambitious five-year strategy and a goal to generate £1 million per year from voluntary sources by 2026 to fund emergency responses and training for health staff. UK-Med’s income is currently primarily statutory, and the charity is relatively new to fundraising, however voluntary income has quadrupled year on year for the last three years. Earlier this year the board invested in the team to support the delivery of the 2021-2026 Fundraising and Communications strategy. The new Senior Digital Fundraiser will help build on the promising foundations laid to deliver an exciting chapter in the charity’s development.
You will be building on significant work already undertaken in all these areas. This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious, determined and passionate individual to make a real difference to people who have their lives impacted by disease outbreaks, disasters and war. Experience in the humanitarian or international development sector is desirable, however a keen interest in global affairs and a commitment to UK-Med’s humanitarian mandate are essential.

The Edinburgh Food Project was set up with the purpose of providing emergency food supplies and support to people in crisis, working with partners and communities to address underlying causes of food poverty. Established in 2012 and supporting the people of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas across seven foodbanks, the project also operates a money advice service and holistic all-round support to the community.
The Organisation is in the process of developing a new strategy and expanding the services provided. This change will reflect the Scottish Government Consultation: Ending the Need for Foodbanks, and the Poverty Commission’s Report, A Just Capital.
To support this transition the Edinburgh Food Project are looking to appoint a new Fundraising Manager who will be the strategic and operational lead for fundraising in the organisation.
You will have the following key responsibilities:
- Oversee and develop all areas of the fundraising operation to ensure that support is maximised from all income streams
- Through the development and monitoring of robust plans and strategies, deliver on all agreed fundraising objectives and financial targets
- Recruit, lead and effectively manage the fundraising team in accordance with EFP’s policies and best practice
- Develop stewardship and engagement programmes that increase lifetime value of current supporters and recruit new supporters
- Embed a fundraising culture throughout EFP that maximises all opportunities for engagement and support
You will be passionate about supporting an organisation that provides all-round support to the community and vulnerable people in need. Demonstrable experience of all aspects of fundraising and management is necessary as well as achieving targets and managing a portfolio of funders and supporters. You will be hands on and proactive and willing to be part of a small but supportive team, working closely with the Director to ensure the sustainability of the organisation
