Since 1784, The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland (RHASS) has been the respected standard-bearer for farming and rural industry in Scotland.  With over 16,000 members, its key remit is to promote Scotland’s land-based and allied businesses.  A registered charity, the Society plays a pivotal role in the creation of a better understanding of the management of Scotland’s land and rural resources.

RHASS is now looking to recruit a Fundraising and Partnership Manager to maximise the generation of funds for RHASS and implement successful strategies for the various areas of the organisation.
