Borders Forest Trust (BFT) is investing in their first dedicated, in house fundraising post to provide strategic oversight and expertise to all the charity’s fundraising activity. 

BFT was established in 1996 to restore the ecological health of the various habitats of the South of Scotland, an area with the lowest percentage of native woodlands in mainland Scotland. Since 1996, BFT has been planting new native woodland, restoring peatland and improving many other natural habitats, enriching the biological diversity of around 31 square km across the Southern Uplands and the wider region. 

They demonstrate landscape scale ecological restoration in action, and inspire landowners, statutory bodies, local communities and policy makers to embrace more sustainable models for land use and conservation practice.

Fundraising to date at BFT has seen much success, but it has been responsive and ad-hoc as opposed to planned according to strategic need. To achieve Borders Forest Trust’s vision, and to provide sustainable long-term income, they are investing in a dedicated Development Manager.

The Development Manager will join BFT at an exciting stage, the entire organisation is behind this position and understands the need for it. They are looking for a fundraiser who will thrive on the challenge of designing and implementing their own fundraising strategy and who can provide the expertise needed to build income across all areas. 

The Board of Trustees have highlighted corporate partnerships and philanthropy as areas of great potential, so experience across one or both areas will be valuable for the successful candidate to evidence. 

There is so much potential for this post holder to deliver fundraising success. 

Please download the Candidate Pack for information on how to apply. All interested candidates will have an informal screening call with THINK Recruitment before progressing to submit an application. Please ensure you apply with enough time to have a call before the closing date.

To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Ally's to Black communities.

An exciting role where you’ll be supporting a range of third-party Challenge Events and participants’ fundraising efforts. The fundraising team is at the core of the charity and works together to maximise opportunities and raise funds from a range of sources.

The Challenge Events programme has continued to strengthen in recent years, with huge demand
seen across third-party running events such as the London Marathon and Great North Run, plus a growing number of runners in international marathons, including Berlin, Chicago and Sydney. The Challenge team’s role is to fill our allocated places in third-party events efficiently; nurture and support our participants to fundraise as much as possible; and ensure they enjoy the whole event experience from place allocation, through to their training and fundraising, to crossing the finish line!
Reporting to the Challenge Events Manager, the postholder will provide high quality day-to-day operational and administrational support across the Challenge Event Programme as well as supporting in-person Challenge Events, such as the London Marathon (April) and Great North Run (September).

For you to support these events, you will be required to attend the office in Cheltenham around 1-2 days per week, and more often during busy periods. You will ideally support a minimum of 2 events per year which take place across weekends and require travelling in the UK (22-27th April and 6-8th September 2025). In order to compensate for this, we offer a flexible TOIL policy.

• Demonstrate excellent attention to detail
• Collaborate with other teams across the organisation such as Communications and Fundraising to maximise the success of events.

• Strong communication and organisational skills
• Competent Microsoft Office skills

About you

Do you want to use your skills to make it possible for people with myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, to live longer and better lives?

Myeloma UK is looking for a motivated and highly pro-active Trusts and Grants Officer to join our Philanthropy team within the wider Fundraising directorate. We welcome applications from people with prior experience or transferable skills who want to explore trusts and grants fundraising and/or fundraising within the health sector. The successful candidate will have a passion for writing, excellent organisational, presentation, communication and record-keeping skills, with an ability to understand and interpret financial data.  The post holder will need to be self-motivated and a team player, with flexibility and a willingness to develop and expand the role. In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to draft compelling proposals, identify and cultivate relationships with grant making organisations, and secure gifts ranging from £100 to £10,000.

Experience of fundraising from charitable trusts and foundations, building project budgets and the use of the Raisers Edge CRM system as well as knowledge of prospective funders within the trust and foundation and corporate sectors would be advantageous, but not essential.

About the role

Myeloma UK has an ambitious plan for income growth. We launched a new organisational strategy in 2024 and will launch our new research strategy in mid-2025. We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma – but we need to go further, faster. This position will play a critical role securing grants of up to £10K from trusts, foundations, and grant funders for a range of innovative and life-changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy.  The role will work closely with the Senior Trusts and Grants Officer, who leads on the medium and large grants programme, and income from pharmaceutical partners.

The post holder will deliver the grant process from start-to-finish including administration, research, and managing and growing a pipeline of small trusts. You will work with colleagues from across the charity to build high quality proposals and develop reports for funders. You will also work directly with funders to understand their priorities and offer excellent stewardship.

About us

At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 25 years, helping quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. Our new strategy, developed in collaboration with the myeloma community, alongside clinical, research, and policy leaders, focuses on three core areas: preventing myeloma, treating myeloma, and living well with myeloma. In the first year of this strategy, we have already made significant impacts: convening global leaders in early-stage myeloma to investigate prevention, securing the provision of three next-generation treatments on the NHS, and launching the Myeloma UK Survivorship grant to fund research into improving patients’ quality of life. But there is more work and achievement to come. Join us on our journey!

Our culture

This is a hybrid position, with travel to the Edinburgh office at least four times a month.

Wellbeing and staff engagement are at the heart of our culture.  We offer our employees a range of benefits including a pension salary exchange scheme, flexitime, flexible working from home with hub-based office working, health plan, employee assistance plan and holiday purchase scheme and we are committed to providing learning and development opportunities for all our employees.
