Role
This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with a driven team of social enterprise and community developers in one of Scotland’s most well regarded and effective social enterprise support providers. Community Enterprise Ltd is a well-established third sector support organisation with a progressive outlook and a diverse portfolio.
Community Enterprise, with partners from Just Enterprise, the Scottish Community Alliance, and the Development Trust Association launched an online “crisis button” for organisations facing severe and urgent challenges who need the right support quickly. Over 140 organisations have accessed the service since its launch.
We need to grow the team to keep pace with the demand for this service. We have become established as the ‘go to’ provider for organisations in distress and having secured funding to deliver this service, are now looking to appoint a dedicated lead.
The role will be based within the development team but will focus on those facing challenges. Though some support will be provided by the post holder, this is also a co-ordinating role, drawing together support from across Scotland. We are particularly keen to enhance the capacity and skillset of our team by recruiting someone with strong financial and governance skills and experience. The successful candidate will also support the core work of the development team.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who’s passionate about changing the outcomes for young people and ensuring they are at the centre of our work.
You will work with, and be fully supported by, our development team, our communications coordinator, our administration and finance support, our experienced management team, and our Board of Trustees.
We would like you to help us to develop our ambitious intentions to create a Youth Pathway Project and ensure young people are at the heart of this initiative, its design and its implementation.
We would like you to help us further develop our cross-sector partnerships and set up a working group. A wide range of partners have already been consulted and fully support the Youth Pathway Project proposal. We want to ensure that we engage with young people to enable them to participate and to have meaningful input into the Youth Pathway Project Planning Process.
With the support of your manager, the board of trustees and relevant partners, we would like you to take a lead role in the construction of a working plan, a document that highlights the aims and objectives of the Youth Pathway Project and how these aims and objectives can/will be achieved.
The Youth Pathway Project will aim to not only help young people with training, skills development and employment opportunities, but to help with confidence building, physical and mental health and wellbeing, life skills, social interaction and more.
If you feel you are the forward thinking, enthusiastic, self-motivated person required to help us achieve these goals, we would love to hear from you.
If you would like to discuss the post further, or you would like to know more about the Youth Pathway Project initiative, please feel free to contact me for further details.
