Fundraising Coordinator

• Guide Dogs Scotland (SA)

• VO103261

We exist to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. Over the years we’ve developed a wide range of services with and without dogs to support people living with a vision impairment. Children and adults. Friends and family. Whoever you are, our expert staff, dedicated volunteers and life-changing dogs are here to help people with sight loss live actively, independently, and well.
We are currently looking for a Fundraising Coordinator, and you can help by:
• Using your fantastic people skills to bring the team together and offer support and encouragement to other volunteers.
• Bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to help the team develop new ideas and activities that will raise funds for Guide Dogs.
• Putting your excellent organisation skills to good use by managing the team’s calendar and making sure the events are supported.
• Leading the fundraising group meetings.
• Using your local networks and connections to work with businesses, shops, schools, libraries and groups in your area to host events.
• Be an ambassador for Guide Dogs by sharing stories and information about the impact of our services.
• Inspire more volunteers to join Guide Dogs and become fundraising volunteers.

What you'll get:
• In these important volunteer roles, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for vital services.
• You’ll meet lots of new people, including people whose lives you are impacting.
• You’ll also get to meet incredible dogs – from puppies and guide dogs in training to qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
• You’ll visit new places and enjoy fun days out with your team.
• You can share your existing skills and develop new skills as we’ll also provide all the training you need for the role.
• You’ll have a dedicated volunteer manager and a team of volunteers who will help support you throughout your role.
• Volunteering should never leave you out of pocket. We pay reasonable expenses related to your volunteering with us, including travel costs.
