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 Organisation

The Chartered College of Teaching is a charity and the professional body for teachers. We are working to empower a knowledgeable and respected teaching profession through membership and accreditation.

We are dedicated to bridging the gap between practice and research and equipping teachers from the moment they enter the classroom with the knowledge and confidence to make the best decisions for their pupils.

Our activities mainly focus on four key areas:

• membership
• teacher CPD and accreditation
• research, policy and events
• online and print resources

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for a postgraduate-level researcher who wishes to combine their expertise in education research and astute understanding of real-life classroom practice. While the role will sit within the Chartered College of Teaching, the postholder will also receive mentoring from Professor Bill Lucas, Professor of Learning and Director of the Centre for Real-Life Learning at the University of Winchester, providing a rare opportunity to combine academically rigorous research with real-life application. As part of a project funded by the Comino Foundation, the Teaching and Assessment Research Specialist will help to increase teachers’ assessment literacy by managing a portfolio of assessment-themed online events, developing a suite of assessment-themed resources, co-ordinating the work of the Next Generation Assessment group and developing an overview of evidence-informed teaching and assessment strategies and how they link to intended student outcomes, based on a series of rapid evidence reviews.

Over the course of the assignment, you will support the Head of Research and Policy and work closely with the Research Lead and the Events and Engagement Manager to create and manage an engaging portfolio of online, assessment-themed events and resources.

This would be an ideal opportunity for anyone with proven expertise in and understanding of the links between evidence-informed teaching and assessment approaches and how they link to desired learning outcomes. You will:

• rapidly review evidence of assessment methods and pedagogies designed to cultivate knowledge, skills and dispositions of pupils, identifying gaps
• with support, produce evidence synthesis for a small number of key methods, not currently widely used by teachers
• manage a portfolio of online events aimed at developing teachers’ and school leaders’ levels of assessment literacy
• co-ordinate the work of the Next Generation Assessment group
• create online resources for the Chartered College member platform relating to evidence-informed teaching and assessment.

The postholder will also be required to collate policy announcements around assessment and monitor any developments relating to the use of EdTech and AI for assessment. The ultimate aim of this work is to help illustrate that the common ‘trad’ versus ‘prog’ debates that still dominate many discussions in education are ultimately unhelpful and teachers need a wide range of different teaching approaches to help support a range of intended learning outcomes. This would be an ideal opportunity for anyone with proven expertise in and understanding of the links between evidence-informed teaching and assessment approaches and how they link to desired learning outcomes.

Skills and experience

Essential

• Postgraduate qualification in Education or a relevant field
• Experience conducting rapid evidence reviews relating to teaching, learning and assessment
• Experience of teaching in schools in the UK or internationally

• Experience developing and managing an online portfolio of events and resources
• Experience managing and chairing meetings, including the production of written summaries of discussions for a wide range of audiences

Desirable

• A PhD in a relevant field
• Experience presenting complex information in a concise, graphic format
• Experience working with Canva, InDesign or other graphic design software

About the Adopt a School Trust
Founded in 1990, the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts’ Adopt a School Trust is a national charity delivering food education in schools. The Adopt a School team, members of The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, and those in the hospitality industry trained by us, work with schools with the aim of passing on their passion and expertise. Our vision is that every child learns about food in a holistic sense and has the confidence to eat well, be healthy and happy. Our programme helps children to develop healthy eating habits and encourages an enthusiasm and interest in food and cooking, as well as giving an insight into the hospitality industry.

About the role
In August 2025 we completed the initial phase of implementing the charity’s first CRM system, Beacon.

Future Talent supports gifted young musicians from low-income backgrounds across the UK. Join them as their next CEO and lead a mission where powerful storytelling and purposeful fundraising drive lasting impact and unlock potential every day.

Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 8th September 2025

Location: Hybrid/London SW9 6DE (2 days per week in the office)

About Future Talent

Founded in 2004 by the Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson OBE, Future Talent exists to break down barriers, create opportunities, and harness the transformative power of music to change the lives of young musicians across the UK.

With over 4.2 million children living in poverty in the UK, too many gifted young musicians are held back by a lack of access and support. We envision a future where all musically talented children, regardless of background, are empowered to thrive.

Our work is made possible through the generosity of major donors, trusts & foundations, corporate partners and sponsors, and individual supporters, whose contributions and support make our programmes possible, creating vital opportunities for young musicians.

About the role

As CEO, you will provide strategic and operational leadership to ensure we can support more young musicians across the UK.

This is a hands-on, externally facing leadership role that combines fundraising, advocacy and organisational strategy. You’ll work closely with our committed Board of Trustees, expert Advisory Group and small, passionate staff team to:

• Lead high-value fundraising activity, strengthening and diversifying our income from major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners
• Build partnerships across the music, education, funding and philanthropic sectors
• Increase the charity’s visibility and voice on a national level
• Lead a high-performing, inclusive team culture
• Ensure the charity’s long-term financial sustainability and operational resilience

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is ambitious and excited about the impact Future Talent can have, and who brings the strategic fundraising expertise, day-to-day energy and stakeholder management skills to make that ambition a reality.

Who we are looking for

We’re looking for a confident, collaborative and energetic leader with experience working in a small charity environment and a passion for supporting young people and driving social change.

You don’t need to have been a CEO before; this could be your first time stepping into the role. What matters is that you bring the right leadership experience, values and ambition to take Future Talent forward.

You will bring:

• Proven success in delivering significant fundraising results and income growth, particularly with major donors, trusts and foundations and/or corporate partners
• Strong relationship-building skills and experience representing an organisation externally, including to funders and philanthropic partners
• Strategic leadership experience, with the ability to lead organisational growth and change
• A people-centred leadership and management style that fosters inclusion, collaboration and high performance
• Financial and operational acumen

While your background could be in youth, arts, music, education, or another area of the charity sector, a personal interest or hobby in music would be a welcome bonus.
