We are looking for a curious, analytical and collaborative Philanthropy Executive to strengthen CHAS’s prospect pipeline and help identify the people, organisations and connections with the greatest potential to support children and families across Scotland.

You will produce clear briefings and evidence-based recommendations across philanthropy, corporate foundations and partnerships and campaign fundraising.

We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together, as well as supporting them with life after loss.

In this role, your insight will help colleagues focus on the strongest opportunities, understand prospective supporters and develop thoughtful routes to engagement. Flexible working: Our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid way, with time split between home and CHAS locations (predominantly Edinburgh and Glasgow).
