Thank you for your interest in the role of National Fundraising Manager at Waverley Care.
This is a really exciting time for our organisation as last year the charity embarked on a new and ambitious five-year strategic plan. We are at a pivotal point in our history as we strive to reach the goal of zero new HIV transmissions by 2030; we are investing in digital transformation, communications and policy, and we have aims to significantly increase our fundraising to invest in strengthening our support and prevention work across Scotland.
Work is underway with THINK CS to develop a dedicated fundraising strategy which will underpin the new organisational strategy of Get to Zero by 2030 – setting a clear direction to increase unrestricted voluntary funds, build sustainable income and diversify our income streams. We are investing in our fundraising capacity and resources to enable us to successfully deliver our goals.
There is much work to do, but as an organisation we are driven to create lasting change for everyone in Scotland living with, or at risk of HIV or hepatitis C, empowering people to live full and healthy lives.
We are an innovative and passionate team who genuinely care about our cause, the people we support, and those who support us. If this sounds like you, please get in touch.
We look forward to welcoming you to our team.
Warm wishes
Jo Talbot

Scotland is on track to be one of the first countries in the world to achieve zero HIV transmissions, and Waverley Care will play an essential role in getting us there.
A positive HIV diagnosis still has the power to knock people off their feet and impact every part of their lives. People living with HIV still carry the burden of decades of discrimination and misinformation about HIV. HIV is treatable, but the stigma and shame surrounding HIV holds people back and makes it different to other life-long conditions. Stigma and the fear of an HIV diagnosis still prevents many people at risk getting a test and knowing their status.
Our vision is for a Scotland where no one faces HIV alone, we will achieve this by fighting stigma and empowering people living with HIV to live full and healthy lives.
Waverley Care is Scotland’s leading HIV and hepatitis C charity, and everything we do is guided by the experiences of the people we work with – this ranges from shaping the services we deliver through to how we influence national policy around sexual health and blood borne viruses.
We are at an exciting point in our history as we strive to reach the goal of zero new HIV transmissions by 2030. We are in the first year of an ambitious new strategic plan, and we are investing in digital transformation, communications and policy, and we have aims to significantly increase our fundraising to invest in strengthening our support and prevention work across Scotland.
There is much work to be done, but as an organisation we are driven to create lasting change for everyone in Scotland living with, or at risk of HIV or hepatitis C.
We are looking for an engaging and ambitious National Fundraising Manager to join and lead our growing fundraising team.
This is an exciting time in the evolution of income generation at Waverley Care. We have invested in growing our fundraising team to ensure we have resource and capacity to deliver our targets; we are looking for a motivated leader who will thrive on the challenge of growth and expansion and step up with us.
We are about to embark on a journey which will see us significantly increasing our unrestricted income over the next five years. This post will provide the leadership expertise and development momentum needed to achieve this significant income growth.
The post will work collaboratively with other key functions of the organisations including communications, finance/corporate services, as well as our operational teams across Scotland. You will lead on growing our individual donor base, as well as deepening our relationships with existing major donors and developing new networks.
