Job description

This role is offered on a 15 month fixed term contract ending 30 June 2024

About us

There’s never been a better time to join Christian Aid’s Fundraising & Supporter Engagement Department. We would say that, wouldn’t we? But we mean it. Despite the challenges we’ve all faced over recent years, we have grown income and smashed our targets, making a transformational impact for people in poverty. Your next career step could see you joining our passionate and energetic team of poverty-fighters. We inspire more than 250,000 supporters and thousands of supporting churches to raise more than £40 million annually to tackle the root causes of extreme poverty.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love. We value a good work-life balance, so we’re open to part-time and flexible working. We also offer hybrid working for our office-based colleagues and the option of being a homeworker for most of our roles too.

About the role

The Head of Scotland will take a leadership role in Christian Aid’s work in Scotland, raising our profile in Scotland; achieving set fundraising targets, engaging our partner churches and demonstrate effectiveness in campaigning and advocacy.

Leading by example, you will help shape and deliver Christian Aid’s corporate priorities, effectively collaborating and stewarding resources.

About you

You will possess a deep knowledge of theology and church and ecumenical structures in Scotland, with the ability to apply this knowledge to the fundraising, supporter engagement and international development work of Christian Aid, including speaking compellingly and with gravitas to church audiences..

With outstanding stakeholder relationship management skills, you will have the ability to develop our relationship in Scotland with the churches, Scottish Government, civic networks, interfaith spaces, and the private sector. You will also have a knowledge and deep understanding of the Scottish political context with experience of confidently communicating at a high level with the Scottish Government.
