You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet.
Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.
We are looking for an inspirational leader to develop and deliver fundraising plans in Scotland, and to provide excellent care for faithful Scottish supporters. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across Scotland.
You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising management team based in Peterborough. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see your work first hand.
We’re looking for:
- A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches, community groups and businesses
- Proven success in fundraising
- A confident networker
- Experience of managing volunteers
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
- The ability to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy.
TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the Scotland Country Head to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in supporting churches.
A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign, and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.

We’re offering a new and unique chance to join the Rewilding Britain team. Imagine a Britain where the largest, most influential and strategically important land areas lead the way in massively upscaling rewilding to tackle the growing climate and biodiversity crises.

Main responsibilities:
In collaboration with senior staff and the Rewilding Manager you will be responsible for leading and project managing the development and delivery of a plan to expand landscape scale rewilding across Britain, including:
-
Providing support and advice to targeted existing larger scale rewilding initiatives.
-
Engaging with a wide range of stakeholders — including landowners and managers - in key potential rewilding landscapes and influencing them to integrate rewilding into their management plans.
-
Researching the potential for rewilding — including its opportunities, cost and benefits and financial viability - in key areas and presenting this in a compelling way.
-
Inspiring, influencing and supporting new initiatives and partnerships focused on upscaling rewilding across larger landscapes and a diverse range of ownership and management types — community-led and multi-stakeholder partnerships, private, public, corporate and NGO landowners, commoners, crofters etc.
-
Working with the Rewilding Manager to ensure that our annual Challenge Fund award acts to catalyse and enable the development of large-scale 'exemplar' rewilding initiatives.
-
Liaising with the Rewilding Manager to encourage new initiatives to join and engage in the Rewilding Network.
-
Representing Rewilding Britain to external stakeholders on various events, platforms and network groups.
-
Delivering effective systems and processes for tracking, monitoring and reporting on progress.
-
Working closely with the Rewilding Director and Rewilding Manager to ensure we best target resources.
Skills, experience and behaviours:
Ideally you will have the following skills and experience. However, this is an exciting new role so there is some scope for refinement of responsibilities, depending on the chosen candidate. If you don’t meet all requirements but believe you could thrive in this role, please consider applying or get in touch to discuss your suitability.
Experience
-
At least eight years’ professional experience in a relevant field, e.g. conservation and/or land management/agency.
-
Demonstrable experience in influencing change, network building and managing strategic partnerships and relations at a senior level.
-
Experience of community and multi-stakeholder led co-design and governance models is highly desirable.
Skills
-
Exceptional project management skills, with the ability to work effectively to deadlines and achieve demonstrable results in a rapidly changing context.
-
Powerful communication and presentation skills, including the ability to engage senior internal and external stakeholders. Media skills are highly desirable.
-
Excellent strategic and systems thinking skills with a proven ability to spot opportunities and solve problems.
Personal Qualities
-
A self-starter with initiative and motivation who works to make things happen
-
Ability to produce high-quality work at pace, thriving in a dynamic organisation.
-
Ability to work autonomously, showing initiative while building excellent relationships with the wider team.
