Role

The House of Hope exists to help people in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. The centre is a haven away from the outside world where those who are impacted by breast cancer can be who they need to be in a safe space, whilst offering connectivity, support, and friendship.

Cancer is hard and takes its toll on you and those around you. We aim to nurture, improve their quality of life, and enrich their emotional wellbeing of our users by offering sanctuary and support within a home-like environment at a time when they need it most. 

You are more than a diagnosis. The service is designed to be person centred with the voice of the patients and their families at the heart of The House. 

An experienced fundraiser. Your experiences will be important in shaping our approaches to new funders. Proactively seeking out new supporters, stewarding new donor relationships and following up on prospects. 

A confident communicator, you will have the ability to build strong relationships across the Scottish funding landscape. Leading by example; sharing your energy, knowledge, ideas and insights to inspire confidence and drive forward the development of our income streams. 

You will be excited by the chance to carve out an initial new partnerships strategic plan, taking responsibility for developing and building a strong prospect pipeline through personal connections, knowledge of the sector and introductions. 

You will work as part of a small team helping to implement our ambitious fundraising strategy. Alongside working to establish new relationships, you will support the Fundraising Co-ordinator and House Manager with the implementation and execution of fundraising events and campaigns throughout the year.
