About Waverley Care

For over 35 years, Waverley Care has worked alongside people and communities affected by HIV and hepatitis C. We deliver inclusive, stigma-free services and influence national policy to tackle health inequalities across Scotland.

While advances in treatment have transformed clinical outcomes, stigma and isolation continue to impact too many lives. Waverley Care exists to ensure that anyone affected by HIV or hepatitis C can live well, with dignity, respect, and support.
About the role

We are looking for a motivated and proactive Senior Corporate Fundraising Officer to grow and steward meaningful relationships with major corporate partners across Scotland.

This new role will focus on securing new business from banks, national organisations and large employers, while also strengthening existing partnerships to deliver sustainable, multi-year income.

Working within our Fundraising and Communications team, you will play a key part in driving our ambition to significantly increase unrestricted income, collaborating closely with colleagues to develop compelling partnership propositions, impactful campaigns and engaging corporate volunteering opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity to shape a growing income stream and help us reach more people living with or at risk of HIV and hepatitis C.

This role will work closely with the Income Generation Manager and Senior Marketing and Communications Manager, and will complement the work of our Fundraising Officer, who leads on community fundraising and community-linked corporate relationships.

The postholder will collaborate with the fundraising team to identify and develop warm corporate opportunities emerging from events and community activity, ensuring a joined-up approach to stewarding and growing corporate engagement across Scotland.

As a charity that is not fully funded by statutory sources, voluntary income plays a vital and growing role in sustaining our services. This post will be central to increasing awareness of our funding model and inspiring corporate partners to invest in our mission.
About You

You will be an engaging communicator and natural relationship builder, confident in identifying opportunities, opening doors and inspiring organisations to support our mission. With experience in corporate fundraising, business development or a similar partnership-focused role, you will bring a proactive, commercially minded approach and a track record of meeting targets.

You’ll be comfortable managing a varied portfolio, from cultivating new prospects to stewarding high value partners, and you’ll thrive in a collaborative team where creativity, initiative and strategic thinking are valued.

Above all, you will be passionate about using your skills to help end HIV stigma and improve the lives of people across Scotland.

Applications are also welcomed from candidates with experience in sales, account management, hospitality or other commercial roles where relationship-building, pitching and securing new business are core responsibilities
Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a progressive organisation at a pivotal moment in Scotland’s public health journey. You’ll have the chance to influence real change, working alongside passionate colleagues committed to making a lasting impact on people’s lives.

We offer a supportive working environment with hybrid working options, professional development opportunities and a generous annual leave entitlement.
