Role

At Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home, love has no limits. We take a big picture view of what is best for dogs and cats; and a tireless, long-term approach to their care. We believe in protecting loving homes, finding love homes, and running our loving Home. We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment not only to the animals, but also our people. 

Are you a confident fundraiser who is great at connecting with people? Are you a creative thinker who loves to work out what makes supporters tick?

If so, this role leading our Individual Giving support is for you. 

What You’ll Be Doing

With no government funding, our Individual supporter base is crucial to the existence of the Home. You will take the lead on offline giving including direct mail, face-to-face and telephone campaigns, nurturing our regular giving programme, and implementing acquisition and appeal activity that inspires engagement and donations. Working closely with colleagues, you will ensure our supporters enjoy excellent stewardship experiences that maximise the value of these relationships.

This role is an essential part of the ambitious Public Fundraising team, where you will be working alongside the Public Fundraising Manager and a collaborative, motivated team to build long-term sustainable income.

What We’re Looking For

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

• Experienced in a related fundraising role in the charity sector, ideally working with Individual Giving audiences
• Ambitious and motivated with a track record of delivering successful fundraising campaigns
• An excellent copywriter who can create engaging, impactful content that works across multichannel activity
• Skilled in utilising mass email platforms to build lasting donor relationships
• Able to use data and insight to optimise campaigns, segment audiences and maximise impact
• Organised with an ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a varied role
• A confident, positive self-starter who enjoys working as part of a team but is equally happy working independently
• Confident spotting opportunities, and creative and motivated enough to put new ideas into action
