Circle is a Scottish charity working at the heart of deprived communities across central Scotland. Our aim is to support the most disadvantaged children and families to improve their lives, promote their healthy development and reach their potential.

We work alongside families to build confidence and self-esteem, to develop positive relationships within their community, to strengthen their finances and to make important changes to their lifestyle and environment. This work enables and empowers families to overcome challenges including substance use, parental imprisonment, persistent poverty, domestic abuse, poor housing conditions and physical and mental ill-health.

Due to the multiple and complex needs these families have they often struggle to access appropriate and tailored support which can leave them isolated, excluded and stigmatized whilst also experiencing shame and anxiety. Circle therefore aims to deliver a range of beneficiary led outreach services that receive referrals from local health professionals, criminal justice, schools, and community hubs as well as being open to self-referrals. The fact that our support is undertaken voluntarily enables us to build a trusting relationship with families and provide them with help that is non-judgmental or time limited.

Role

This is an interesting time of development and expansion for Circle as we attempt to increase our support to families disproportionally impacted by Covid and the resulting financial climate.

Working under the supervision of an experienced Income Generation and Communications Manager you will maximise income to meet or exceed income targets through the development of excellent local relationships, creating opportunities to give, and positioning Circle as the charity of choice within various local communities. You will also have the opportunity to play a lead role in growing our unique flagship event, The DARED Challenge, whilst also potentially contributing to our successful trust and grants income generation process.

Our ideal candidate will have a passion for providing vulnerable families with vital, life changing outreach work. They will have the desire to seek new opportunities and build sustainable relationships with donors while managing event participants and local corporate partnerships. To deliver a positive supporter experience, you will have strong communication skills and be friendly and engaging. You should have the motivation to work independently without close supervision whilst still being able to develop positive internal team relationships. Experience of developing new partnerships, recruiting donors, and working with databases is needed along with event and volunteer management.

This is a unique and varied role that will suit a motivated, adaptable, and proactive individual, who is keen to expand on their current knowledge and skills set to become a more complete fundraiser with experience of succeeding across multiple income streams.

Main Purpose:

• To maximise income with a focus on individual, community, and corporate fundraising, with some additional charitable trusts and grant funding.
• To raise the profile of Circle with a focus on internal and external communications, social media content and creative public campaigns
• To work in partnership with colleagues across Circle in the development and funding of innovative service delivery projects.

The Citizens Advice network in Scotland is the largest independent advice service in the country. Citizens Advice Scotland is a charity within this network – we act as a national organisation supporting and representing the service as a whole and the interests of citizens. At the heart of the network there are 59 individual citizens advice bureau organisations across Scotland, all operating as independent charities in their own right, and generally focusing on providing support directly to clients. Each of these organisations is a member of Citizens Advice Scotland. Also providing significant added value are the national elements of the service run out of Citizens Advice Scotland, such as the Extra Help Unit. We believe that every citizen should have access to free, impartial and confidential advice that helps them make informed decisions, whenever they need it and however they choose to access it.

Space & Broomhouse Hub is a Scottish award-nominated charity organisation working to improve the happiness, mood & mental wellbeing of our community members; enhancing physical health, developing skills & job opportunities, whilst growing the confidence of the residents of our area and beyond in South West Edinburgh. We do this by nurturing, supporting and inspiring people of all ages so that lives are fuller, potential is fulfilled and community connections flourish.

In 1991, at a time of depression and recession, community activism and a refusal to accept Broomhouse deserved anything less than other communities – local residents campaigned to turn a row of six shops into one centre. The Broomhouse Centre.

30 years on, and still with local community groups and trustees at the core, Space at the Broomhouse Hub has a new state-of-the-art community building housing a community training café. We have grown and now deliver 17 projects, with 50+ staff and 250 volunteers.

Whilst holding the integrity of Space at our core, we are a values-led organisation that is:

• Creative - Initiating and embracing challenges, innovation, opportunities and new ideas
• Bold - Ambitious, aspirational and determined to have a lasting impact

The Role

We are looking for a person who loves food; a person who will nurture people whilst developing our food-led community initiatives and forge strong networks with members of the community.

The Broomhouse Hub is located in an area of high poverty which can result in restricted access to fresh food and minimal cooking skills. The Food Manager will work to inspire, encourage and empower our members and stakeholders to gain the skills and knowledge to support a positive shift to reduce food poverty.

This role requires a creative and experienced individual to lead the operation, developing our trainees in Space Kitchen which encompasses our Café, community events, outside catering and on-site hospitality.

Space Kitchen works with Space Training Academy which supports young people and adults, many with complex barriers to employment, to develop the skills and confidence to move into work.
