Edinburgh based   

Do you have experience of leading a small but fast-paced and relationships-focused fundraising team? Do you want to help shape and support ambitious fundraising plans to create transformational change?

If so, this role leading our fundraising team is for you.

About Cyrenians 

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We take a values-led and relationships-based approach to delivering our services because we understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures.

About the Fundraising Team

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do at Cyrenians, with those we support and those who support us too.

It’s an exciting time for Fundraising at Cyrenians. Our team has only been around for a few years and in that time, income generation has grown rapidly. It’s now time to take it to the next level.

With a fundraising mix currently dominated by corporate partnerships, individual giving and major donors, we are looking to build on our previous growth while also broadening our mix into events and community fundraising, and legacies.

About the role

This role will devise and drive forward our fundraising strategy and have responsibility for leading the team to deliver in a way that is collaborative, innovative and measurable. Close relationships with our Marcomms and services teams are integral to delivery.

The role has a strong focus on nurturing existing and developing new partnerships, together with using data and insight to drive our activity.

About you

You’ll be an experienced fundraising leader, who lives our values and has innovation at your core. You’ll spot opportunities, forge links with a variety of stakeholders and be confident in using data to steer our strategic direction.

Like us, you’ll be relationships-based and values-led in all that you do. You’ll think long-term and ensure evaluation and learning at every stage of your plan.

How we’ll support you

Working closely with colleagues in Marcomms, Policy & Public Affairs and Trusts & Grants, you’ll be warmly supported by those who share your passion to tackle homelessness and its root causes. We’ll encourage you to grow your strategic experience, with creativity, strong values and innovation, and to take a planned and pragmatic approach to planning and implementing new initiatives.

You will be supported to attend training and networking events to deepen your knowledge of the issues surrounding homelessness and social exclusion; engage with a variety of stakeholders and extend your professional network.
