Fundraiser | Firefly International

Location: Edinburgh / hybrid working (minimum one in-person day in the office per week)

Salary: £28,000 – 35,000 FTE (dependent on experience)

Job type: 60% of FTE for a fixed-term period until September 2029

The Fundraiser position is a new post for Firefly International. This position has been made
possible through a specific three-year grant we have been awarded to improve our organisational
capacity and strengthen our fundraising systems, in particular for legacy giving. We are currently
finalising a strategy for legacy and in memory giving and this post will be key for its delivery.

The main purpose of this post is to lead the development of this work on legacy giving and
related organisational capacity development, to play a key role in Firefly’s wider fundraising and
to co-ordinate closely with other colleagues in our small team of four, particularly those working
on finance and on communications and external engagement.

The objective of this post is to strengthen Firefly’s current fundraising approaches and systems
with the ultimate aim of increasing the charity’s income and thereby the support available for
our partners and the children our joint work serves.
