Last year, they cared for 1,200 patients. Their mission is simple but powerful: to help families make the most of the time they have together, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

“It was a moment of grief, yes, but also one of relief. Mum was surrounded by the love and warmth of her family. And as we said our final goodbyes, we knew she was at peace. We are incredibly grateful for the care, the memories, and the love we had shared in those final days while Mum was at Dove House.” - Family member of a patient

We are delighted to be partnering with Dove House Hospice on this exciting project. This is more than just a job, it’s an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of others and help raise vital funds to ensure Dove House Hospice’s services are always available for those who need them.

About Re-engage
 
Re-engage is a charity that is positive about older age and committed to reducing loneliness so that people can have social lives and friendship groups however old they are. We inspire and enable meaningful connections and shared experiences within communities across the UK for people over 75 facing loneliness and social isolation.
 
Our volunteers work together to create better communities and help to enrich the lives of our members. Older people who may have felt very alone now feel valued as individuals, continue to form friendships, and have groups that give support. We make sure that people know they are important well into their old age.
 
We are proud of our values - positive, innovative, transparent, evidence-based, and accountable - and of our ethos of bringing generations together.
 
Our vision is a world where no one is ever too old to make friends and enjoy social interaction.
 
Our mission is to work within communities to end social isolation and loneliness in older people.
 
Re-engage is committed to growing a staff team that enjoys coming to work every day and gets satisfaction out of being part of delivering significant impact to the lives of older people. We all work remotely, and we don’t let that stop us from getting to know each other and enjoying down time together. Our wellbeing programme includes multiple interest groups: music, books, hobbies etc as well as coffee and catch ups, quizzes, mindfulness, and other group activities. Everyone is encouraged to get involved in working groups and staff networks, all of which contribute to us getting to know each other.

Light Up Learning is a Scottish charity providing bespoke support for high school students. We are dedicated to igniting a love of learning in young people and transforming the nature of education in Scotland.

Our programme aims to address issues of unequal access to education and disengagement in the classroom by creating low-stress, supportive, and playful learning environments for young people who have experienced disadvantage. Through creative, one-to-one mentoring relationships, our team helps young people rediscover their curiosity, build confidence, and imagine a future they genuinely want to work towards.

We currently work in 12 schools in Lothian and Borders and are looking to grow and build new partnerships with other schools across Scotland. We want to reach more students, nurture their curiosity, and provide the resources they need to succeed. To do this, we need further funding and the newly-created role of Head of Fundraising will play a key part in achieving this growth.

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser to oversee all aspects of high-value income generation, primarily focussing on HNWIs, leading to a doubling of our income by 2030. This role will report directly to the Chair with a dotted line to our Founder, and will manage the relationship with the Consultant we have engaged to write grant applications. The role will be very hands-on, and the right candidate will thrive off working alongside a entrepreneurial and passionate team. You will be a self-starter with the hunger and curiosity to build activity and relationships, and make a strong personal impact.

We are a small charity with big ambitions, and we work in a way that reflects our ethos: collaboratively, reflectively, and with a real sense of purpose. We are excited to welcome someone who shares our belief in the transformative power of learning and relationships - and who brings the skills, creativity, and drive to help us grow our impact.

This role is designed to be flexible in both hours and location, and we are open to conversations about how best to make it work for the right person. If you are someone who thrives in a mission-driven environment and want to be part of a team that is changing the lives of young people, we warmly encourage you to apply.

For a confidential conversation about this exceptional opportunity, please contact our recruitment partners at Richmond Associates. For further information, key dates, and how to apply, please click 'Redirect to Recruiter'.

Please tell us if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make to help you in your application or with our recruitment process.
