Head of Fundraising and Communications

at  Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland

WHAT WE DO AT SPINA BIFIDA AND HYDROCEPHALUS SCOTLAND

Our mission at SBH Scotland is to help everyone with spina bifida and hydrocephalus feel unstoppable.
At Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland we make sure no one is left behind because of their disability. We offer one-to-one support and groups where children and adults can be themselves. So they can be proud of who they are.
We are more than a listening ear, more than information. We offer all the little things that make life worthwhile: understanding, fun and friendship.

THE ROLE

This is your chance to help disabled people feel unstoppable.
As Head of Fundraising and Communications at Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland you will be leading our work to generate the £1.4 million needed to deliver our lifeline groups and one-to-one support services each year.
You will be developing and delivering strategies to bring out the joy in doing good with our supporters, inspire people to join our cause and access our services.
This is an exciting time to be joining the charity with a new five-year strategy to be launched in April, setting out ambitious plans to invest in growing the charity’s impact and income.
We are looking for a creative thinker, with a proven track record in developing and delivering successful fundraising and supporter engagement strategies. You will have a passion for leading by example, pitching in where necessary and getting the best out of your team and supporting them to develop.
At SBH Scotland we believe in rewarding success and encouraging staff to fulfil their potential. You’ll be leading a team of high-performance communications and fundraising professionals including staff nominated for Fundraiser of the Year at this year’s Institute of Fundraising Scotland Awards. You will have access to mentoring opportunities and be working directly with a CEO who has also won awards for campaigning and fundraising activities.
