This is an exciting opportunity to fill a significant new role with Community Enterprise, 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.

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.

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.

As the sector coped with the huge demands of the coronavirus pandemic, the need for support and assistance right across Scotland, and the demand on our services, has grown significantly. 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.

The post involves delivering capacity building and development support to a wide range of clients and projects across Scotland. We are particularly keen to enhance the capacity and skill set of our development team by securing someone with skills in marketing with the ability to understand, research and write marketing strategies for clients and support lower capacity groups to build a knowledge of, and then implement marketing for themselves. But the successful candidate will be able to deliver broader development work too.

This is an exciting opportunity with Scotland’s premier social enterprise branding, design and digital agency. The office is Glasgow based but work is across Scotland and beyond. At a time of growth, we have created a varied and flexible support post that will help our business to run smoothly and efficiently, release the assets and skills of the team and take the organisation to the next level of effectiveness. We are looking for someone who has attention to detail, is great with people, enjoys the effectiveness of good admin, can deal with project management systems comfortably, has a strong work ethic and a sensitivity to the third sector.

We are the first and largest social enterprise creative agency in Scotland. To date we have been working with the 3rd sector, charities and social enterprises to develop their brands, marketing strategies, websites and campaigns. We believe there are also opportunities beyond the third sector into mission led businesses.

We are forward thinking and, after 10 years of successful growth and a strong portfolio of work, we are in a period of careful growth into the future.
