You’ll also write proposals and steward relationships with Trusts and Foundations through regular communication, report writing, arranging visits, and generally ensuring we meet the conditions of any funding received.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated and results-driven arts professional to join the RSNO team.

The purpose of this post is to maximise income from the Trusts and Foundations sector through compelling and persuasive funding applications and proposals related to the RSNO’s artistic, digital, and creative learning projects. The post-holder will work with teams across the organisation to shape innovative projects; identify funding opportunities; monitor project delivery to manage funders’ reporting requirements and develop excellent relationships with Trusts and Foundations supporting the RSNO.

We are looking for a highly motivated and results-driven individual with a keen interest in the arts, creative learning programmes, and digital technologies. The role involves extensive drafting of compelling funding proposals with comprehensive supporting materials. Exceptional written skills, impeccable attention to detail, and a highly analytical approach to complex information are a pre-requisite for this post.

The RSNO is an equal opportunities employer. The RSNO is supported by the Scottish Government and local authorities in Scotland.

We are now recruiting for a Creative Communities Lead at Art in Healthcare.

Are you articulate, empathetic, and values-led? We are looking for someone to lead Art in Healthcare’s ambitions to increase access to visual art and creativity for individuals and communities across Scotland, with a particular focus upon individuals and communities that have been over-looked and under-served historically. You will devise, develop, and manage a range of creative programmes that meet the needs, interests, and aspirations of participants. Working with the wider Art in Healthcare team and Artists, you will ensure that our services are inclusive, impactful, developmental, and sustainable. You will be part of the management team and will help us to meet our six strategic aims [these can be reviewed in our Strategic Plan].

Who are we looking for?

To succeed in this role, you will already have a good understanding of creative health and significant experience of developing and delivering creative programmes that prioritise access, inclusion, and quality. We are looking for someone with at least three years of relevant work experience and a minimum of two years within a role with line management, budget, and fundraising responsibilities.

You will have extensive experience of working with diverse audiences including vulnerable individuals and communities. You will also have experience of working with a range of visual artists to develop creative opportunities that are person-centred and that support creative journeys. You will be able to demonstrate your commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion and an understanding of the value of lived experience through previous roles.

You will have experience of working in a reflective way, documenting and evaluating programmes and projects, using the findings to shape future developments and for reporting to external funders. You will also have some experience of supporting, developing, and managing a small team that includes paid staff and volunteers. Experience of fundraising will be helpful. A knowledge of the visual art sector in Scotland and key organisations within the creative health space will be advantageous.

As Fundraising & Development Manager, you will work closely with the Festival's leadership and associates to develop a considered, diverse fundraising strategy, ensuring the continued success of EAF and the work we do. You will be joining a close-knit, committed team in delivering an internationally recognised, socially engaged Festival of exciting visual art.

You will support a refreshed strategy, story of change, case for support, and strategic communications to develop relationships and secure investment in our organisation.
