The SCOUT Foundation manages capital investments, an endowment fund, as well as specific Donor Advised Funds, on behalf of SCOUTS South Africa, its sole beneficiary.

SCOUTS South Africa (SSA) is an independent, non-profit educational movement dedicated to the development of young people in achieving their full potential as individuals and responsible citizens. Central in this programme is a continuous transference of values such as honesty, loyalty, responsibility, respect; all aimed at governing individual behaviour and the development of strong leadership skills that will equip members to be of service to others and to their communities.

The Scout programme is delivered to more than 90,000 children and youth (boys and girls) aged between 5 and 17 years throughout South Africa.  Members aged 18 to 30, can then further progress into the SSA young adult development programme.

The SCOUT Foundation is looking to appoint a Resource Mobilisation Manager for a 12-month contract position. The contract is renewable if funds permit and subject to mutual satisfactory performance.

 Role Purpose

The Resource Mobilisation Manager will work on behalf of the Foundation with the SCOUTS South Africa CEO and National PR Manager, to manage specific fundraising initiatives, to mobilise resources, and to enhance the corporate profile of the South African Scout Movement.

Characteristics

The role calls for a person with a network of corporate contacts, who will strive to use their marketing and resource mobilisation abilities to better the lives of children and youth in South Africa.

The individual should be an assertive and independent self-starter, detail and solution orientated, and committed to good governance. The person needs to be able to work within given deadlines and manage multiple projects from conceptualisation, through inception to closeout and funder reporting with integrity and professionalism.
