This is an exciting opportunity to fill a significant role with Community Enterprise. We are a leading provider of support and consultancy to third sector groups across Scotland and beyond and work with communities to build and sustain projects for the benefit of local people.

We pride ourselves on our very strong reputation, the impact we have made and what we have learnt across Scotland over 30 years, but this is not well documented, articulated or communicated. We are therefore seeking someone with knowledge and experience to help us pull together our stories, our impact and our learning and communicate that across the sector in Scotland and beyond.

We also have important support programmes that need to be communicated nationally to ensure good uptake.

Job Purpose

The key roles are:

To lead on communicating key messages and to raise awareness about Community Enterprise and all our divisions, nationally, UK-wide and internationally. This will include the work of our development team, Bold, Creative Natives and any future project or programme. To manage our presence, communicating our core work and services to the sector clearly and with a high level of engagement.

To specifically help us market initiatives such as the Social Enterprise Support Map and our Accelerate programme.

3. To use our impact measurement story capture to articulate the difference we are making, short, medium and long term. This will involve taking the learning from our work, both historically and on an ongoing basis and cascade that to the broader sector and to our partners and stakeholders.

4. To support and resource the development and admin team to deliver communication in their day to day work (e.g. helping our development staff to increase survey response rates, attendance at events etc.)

Community Enterprise is a leading social enterprise and community development consultancy and support provider. We provide support to third sector groups across Scotland and beyond and work with communities to build and sustain projects for the benefit of local people.

Associates will be brought in as required to deliver high quality work to deadlines. There is no guarantee of work but we do have a busy portfolio and envisage using this resource regularly. We will commit to providing induction training about our ways of working and systems and to help associates feel part of our team and contributors to our bigger vision.

Specifically, we are looking for:

1. Business Development Associates

Capable of delivering capacity building and development support (particularly in the context of sustainability) to a wide range of third sector clients and projects across Scotland, we envisage freelancers taking on specific pieces of short term consultancy work particularly through our Accelerate programme, with support and guidance from our Development Team. This may include business and financial planning, enhancing governance, idea generation and project planning, funding strategies, research and consultation and so on. Whilst we are looking for people with solid general business skills, we are keen to enhance the capacity and skill set of our development team and are especially interested to work with people with skills in digital development and marketing and communications. A good understanding of the Third Sector is important.

Work allocated to Associates will mainly be smaller, short term interventions with our core team continuing to lead on our larger, more complex work.

Remuneration £250-275 per day (depending on experience and the brief), plus expenses and free access to training and mentoring.

2. Research and Project Support Associates

Capable of contributing to research documents and business plans for example stakeholder interviews, case studies, focus groups, survey analysis and desk top market research. We envisage that this work will be used as the crucial building blocks for larger projects, led by our development team. An understanding of the Third Sector is desirable.

Remuneration £200 per day plus expenses and free access to training and mentoring.

We are a social enterprise ourselves. 100% of our profits are re-invested in supporting the further growth and development of voluntary and community organisations.

We pride ourselves on our very strong reputation and the impact we have made and what we have learnt across Scotland over 30 years, but this is not well documented, articulated or communicated.

We are looking for someone who loves stories of change, is an excellent communicator, is comfortable in the digital space but is also great with people. We believe that the wider sector in Scotland and beyond will not be aware of the depth of our work, and the value that is contained in communities and this needs to be addressed to benefit both ourselves and the Scottish third, community and social enterprise sectors. You will have a strong work ethic and a sensitivity to the third sector.

Over the years we have built a team of people with the range of skills that the third sector needs to survive and thrive, from funding to asset development, marketing to finance, governance to branding. Digital skills have become increasing relevant and the coronavirus pandemic has accelerated that need so that it is not vital. We don’t have those skills on the team.

At a time of change, we have created this new post so that we have the skills and knowledge to support the Scottish third sector to use digital systems to improve their work and become more efficient, sustainable and effective.

We are looking for someone with broad digital knowledge and a curiosity to find out about, and spread the work about, all things digital.

We are looking for someone with a strong work ethic and an understanding of the third sector.

We envisaged this as a part time post that would grow as demand grows but would welcome applications from those who would prefer full time.
