Role

We are looking for a passionate and dedicated individual to join the Poppyscotland as a Poppy Appeal Manager for North West Scotland. This role offers a unique opportunity to coordinate all aspects of the award winning Poppy Appeal in your area, working closely with the National Poppy Appeal Manager to meet agreed income, expenditure, and contribution targets. You will manage relationships with local supporters, partners, and volunteers, ensuring they have the resources and support they need to maximise fundraising efforts and make a lasting impact.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

In this role, you’ll have the exciting opportunity to build and nurture corporate partnerships, working alongside a passionate team to achieve shared goals. Your relationship building skills will ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, from volunteers to corporate partners, while representing Poppyscotland in your local community and engaging with key stakeholders.

You’ll also be responsible for recruiting and inducting new Poppy Appeal Organisers, helping them thrive, and coordinating the Poppy Appeal launch, including fun PR and media activities. As a local representative of Poppyscotland, you’ll keep stakeholders updated and play a key part in our outreach efforts. While there will be some evening and weekend work, we’re dedicated to ensuring that you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves building relationships, planning events, and is passionate about supporting the Armed Forces community. While experience in financial management is helpful, it’s not essential, we’re really looking for someone who is committed to the cause and excited to connect with others.

At Poppyscotland, we know the importance of flexibility, so we offer options like our 9-day fortnight while also considering other flexible working arrangements to suit your needs. We want you to feel supported in balancing work with life’s other joys!

You will be expected to travel regularly in the course of your work including regularly round North West Scotland. You will be contracted to your home address, where you will be expected to work, when not travelling. Occasional travel outside the county will be required, including overnight stays (typically 1–2 nights per year) to attend training or conferences. Please be aware a full UK driving licence is required for this role.

Providing a supporting statement is optional. If you decide to include one, it’s a helpful way to show how your background, whether through previous roles or transferable skills that connects with the key parts of this role. You might want to highlight things like working with budgets, building positive relationships, and juggling multiple priorities. Please also note that due to the nature of this role, we do not expect leave to be taken during the months of October and November unless in exceptional circumstances.

Employee benefits include -

  • 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays), increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
  • Very generous pension contributions, with Employer contributions ranging from 6% to 10%
  • A range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role and the needs of RBL.
  • Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice
  • A range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives.
  • Opportunities to volunteer.
  • Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more!
