Fife Communities Action Network (FCCAN) is a network of community groups in Fife that are taking action on climate change. Our aim is to empower and enable communities to create a low carbon future and promote local resilience and well-being.

We have three exciting opportunities to join our Fife Climate Hub team, funded by the Scottish Government.

The Fife Climate Hub is part of a new network of regional community climate action hubs, created by the Scottish Government. The Hub empowers community-led action on the climate crisis. Our vision is for a growing Fife-wide network of groups taking climate action to meet the needs of their communities. We build capacity of existing community groups working on climate, encourage collaboration and reach beyond the climate engaged to grow a diverse network across Fife. We also provide a voice for our members to influence local and national policy. Together we are driving change and strengthening climate resilience in Fife.

The Hub offers training, advice, inspiration, networking, funding and signposting to places of support. We provide opportunities for networking and shared learning to create a strong climate movement across Fife and drive change across all sectors.

We’re looking for passionate, enthusiastic people to further develop the project. This is an exciting opportunity to shape community climate action within Scotland through a model of localised ‘grassroots’ collaborative support.

The Community Development Officer (Funding) will support existing community groups to access funding to deliver their climate projects. The post holder will signpost groups to relevant funding opportunities, support them through the application process and act as a liaison between community groups, local authority and funders. They will also administer Fife Climate Hub’s Community Climate Grants scheme.

The Community Development Officer (Engagement) will contribute to the delivery of Fife Climate Hub’s vision to create a growing, diverse and inclusive network. The post holder will reach out to new and diverse audiences. They will support groups to initiate, develop and run climate action projects and inspire climate action through events, talks and workshops.

Inspiring Scotland is a registered Scottish charity and as one of the world’s largest venture philanthropy organisations has the vision for every person in Scotland to enjoy a happy, healthy life free from poverty or disadvantage. We currently support over 500 charities in Scotland and between 2023-2024 managed over £42.6m of investment in charities and not-for-profit organisations.

We are inspired daily by the commitment and drive shown by people working in the voluntary sector, and the people they support and believe in harnessing the power of all sectors and long-term funding to make lasting changes in people's lives.

One of the main reasons for our success is our people, who have been attracted from roles across the private, public and third sectors by the opportunity to make a difference and work for an organisation that is forward-thinking, and people focused. As our Part-time Finance Director (0.6 FTE) you will be responsible for optimising Inspiring Scotland's financial performance and strategic position whilst also maintaining the smooth operation of finance, HR, IT, facilities, and governance. As a key member of a small Executive Team, you will directly contribute to the strategic and operational decision-making process and ongoing development of the organisation.

You will be a fully qualified accountant with a proven track record of robust financial management gained within the private, public or third sector. With direct involvement in providing financial information and analysis to allow informed decision-making at both executive and ideally board level, you will also be an accomplished communicator able to build and maintain strong working relationships with a range of stakeholders. A ‘Self-starter’ and results-driven, it is likely the successful candidate will have experience working in a position where they have been used to taking on a range of responsibilities and balancing several competing priorities.

Above all else, we are looking for more than simply an ‘Accountant’. We want someone who shares our passion to make a difference, will fully embrace a flat structure, show initiative, thrive within a culture of flexibility, and most importantly shares our values, by being bold, compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective.
