This is an exciting opportunity to be an integral part to enabling the residents of Knoydart establish their very own community owned pub. With your help, we will be able to revitalize this pub making it a community hub, a desirable tourist attraction and a real asset for the people of Knoydart, visitors and our wider shareholders. Profits will be reinvested locally to support social and economic development and sustainability on the peninsula.

We’re looking for a talented, motivated individual to support the Old Forge CBS Board in achieving this. The post holder will be responsible for liaising with all our stakeholders, identifying and maximising business opportunities to increase revenue. The successful candidate will have a proven record of strategic planning and delivery, community engagement, strong communication and negotiating skills, the ability to work collaboratively and manage budgets.

The role is part funded by Scottish Land Fund and the Community Ownership Fund as well as the local community and supporters from across the globe through our Community Shares Offer and Crowdfunder campaign.

Whilst the role is mainly focussed on delivery, the post holder will also contribute to the strategic vision and forward planning of the Old Forge Community Benefit Society. After a successful fundraising campaign, we are currently in negotiations to buy the pub. The role is part-time (16 hours) and dependent on us achieving acquisition by the end of March 2022.
