Role

An exciting opportunity exists at MYPAS to improve the health and wellbeing of young people across Midlothian, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders. This new role will be improving on existing successful fundraising as well as diversifying the organisation’s fundraising streams. With previous experience fundraising in at least some of the following areas - individual giving, community and events fundraising, corporate giving, trusts and grants, public sector contracts – you will occupy a pivotal role in increasing the organisations capacity to provide our much needed services for vulnerable young people.

This is a full-time role but we would consider part-time hours.

Role

The key purpose of this post is to provide a range of fundraising and communication functions for the organisation. Working with the Chief Executive, Service Management Team, the Ambassadors group, the Board and the wider staff team, the postholder will lead in increasing the performance of existing fundraising initiatives whilst further diversifying funding streams. The role will focus, initially, on supporting community, individual and corporate giving as well as trusts and challenge events but will grow and develop with the needs of the organisation.

This post may require evening and occasional weekend work: some evening and weekend work may be necessary – based on advance notice and a TOIL system. The post requires flexibility during peak fundraising periods such as seasonal events and MYPAS run community events.

Informal enquiries can be made to Dave Evans (Chief Executive) on 0131 4540757

Special conditions:
