Job Description
Schools & Community Fundraiser
AFC Band 4 £28,712 - £31,231 pro rata per annum
35 hours per week
Mon to Fri 9.00 to 4.30
Office based on site
We are looking for a Schools & Community Fundraiser who knows how to spark ideas, recruit supporters, build relationships, and turn passion into real impact.
While this is mainly office based and on site, this isn’t a desk job. Its school assemblies, community groups, big ideas and small moments — and knowing that what you do truly matters.
Are you a committed and passionate Fundraising professional who wants to make a genuine impact? Do you have a proven track record in generating income and co-ordinating successful events and schools/community fundraising support?
If so, we would love to meet you!
Make a living. Make a difference.
At St Andrew’s Hospice fundraising is about more than hitting targets — it’s about people, communities, and supporting patients and families when they need us most.
We’re looking for a Schools & Community Fundraiser to join our friendly, passionate fundraising team and help inspire support across Lanarkshire.
This is a varied, people-focused role where no two days are the same — from school assemblies and community groups to supporting brilliant local fundraising ideas.
What you’ll be doing
* Visiting schools across North and South Lanarkshire to deliver assemblies, attend cheque presentations, and engage young people to support our fundraising activities.
* Building and developing strong fundraising relationships with schools, nurseries, community groups, and third-party supporters.
* Coordinating and supporting schools and community fundraising events and initiatives.
* Developing community events and representing St Andrew’s Hospice in our local communities.
* Delivering engaging presentations to inspire fundraising and raise awareness.
* Working closely with the wider fundraising team to help achieve income targets.
Who we’re looking for
* A strong networker who loves working with young people, and supporters of all ages, to develop and build strong relationships.
* Someone who enjoys engaging with Schools and delivering presentations to encourage support.
* Key income generation skills and organisational ability to deliver successful school and community fundraising events.
* Motivation and passion for Fundraising and the opportunity to truly make a difference.
Experience in fundraising, community engagement, education, or a people-facing role would be an advantage — but your enthusiasm and your ability to deliver using a friendly approach are what matters most.
