We are seeking to appoint a Development and Engagement Officer (Director's Office), working closely with and in support of SHBT's Director, contributing to our fundraising strategy over the next five years.

The postholder will expand SHBT's donor database through varied engagement work, including lectures, conferences, events and publications, assist with general administration, as well as manage our new supporters' scheme and corporate sponsorship offer.

As Scotland's largest historic buildings preservation trust, and with a small expert team and no core public funding, we have restored over 30 buildings and raised more than £40 million.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a lasting contribution to one of Scotland's leading heritage organisations.
