Role

No child should face hospital alone - and you can help make sure they don’t.

ECHC is growing fast, and we’re looking for a passionate, people‑powered Fundraiser to join our mighty team.

If you’re a natural relationship‑builder with bags of energy, a ‘can‑do’ mindset and proven experience inspiring people to fundraise, this is your chance to make a huge difference from day one.

What you’ll do

• Amplify and grow community fundraising across Edinburgh and the Lothians
• Inspire individuals, schools, families, NHS staff, businesses and groups to support ECHC
• Build long‑lasting, meaningful relationships and deliver first‑class stewardship
• Create supporter‑led fundraising opportunities and confidently ‘make the ask’
• Be a regular presence in the children’s hospital, championing our work and connecting with those who make it possible
• Play a key role in delivering income that helps children and families facing life-changing hospital stays

What you’ll bring

• Proven fundraising/sales experience
• Confidence, warmth and the ability to motivate people to take action
• Strong storytelling skills and a genuine passion for helping children and families
• Drive, resilience and an organised, proactive approach
• Team spirit and commitment to ECHC’s values

This is a brilliant time to join ECHC - a charity with big ambition, bold energy and a clear commitment: to ensure no child faces hospital alone.
