We are seeking an organised and proactive Philanthropy and Development Administrator to support the College’s fundraising, donor engagement and development activities.
Working closely with the Head of Development and wider team, you will provide administrative and operational support across a range of activities, including donor stewardship, fundraising campaigns, CRM management, funding programmes and the College’s Global CARE initiative, which helps address healthcare inequalities worldwide through improved access to safe surgery and patient care.
This is a varied role supporting a wide range of development activities across the College. It provides an opportunity to develop experience in fundraising, donor engagement, stewardship, communications and administration within a busy and collaborative team.
The role is based in Edinburgh with flexibility for hybrid working. Occasional travel and out-of-hours working may be required to support events and College activities.
You will be a highly organised and detail-oriented individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Educated to Higher/A-Level, HNC or equivalent level, you will have experience in an administrative or support role and be confident managing multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
You will be proficient in Microsoft Office applications and able to work collaboratively as part of a team. An interest in philanthropy, fundraising or the charitable sector would be advantageous, although prior experience is not essential.
This role may particularly appeal to individuals looking to develop a career in fundraising, philanthropy or stakeholder engagement, as well as those seeking to apply their administrative skills within a purpose-driven organisation.
