Top job! Chief Operating Officer
- Full time
- Circa £45,000
- Edinburgh (Home working and occasional travel included)
- Closing 13th February 2023
Growing a vibrant worldwide community of Scottish Dance and Music.
The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS) exists to promote Scottish dancing globally as a fun, friendly, inclusive and healthy activity which can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere. RSCDS deliver their mission to today’s generation by running activities and annual events throughout the UK and further afield, all with a focus on Scottish Country Dance.
With an extensive network of RSCDS branches and affiliated groups already working at local level to organise and deliver Scottish Country Dance courses, ceilidhs and workshops in their communities, this fantastic charity is able to reach huge numbers of dancers around the world. RSCDS work on everything from implementing the overall strategy of the charity to the successful delivery of the intensive four-week Summer School in St Andrews. They work in partnership with a board of trustees and three committees who come from a variety of backgrounds, all working voluntarily.
The opportunity has now arisen for a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) to join the passionate team at RSCDS. Reporting directly to the Chair and the Management Board, the COO will work to ensure smooth and efficient running of the RSCDS operations. You will work to support the Management Board and Committees in the delivery of the RSCDS strategy. The COO will play a critical role in ensuring there is a positive organisational culture where all staff feel valued by volunteers and colleagues. Essentially, the COO will be in post to manage the staff function and to ensure the successful delivery of major events. You will have the confidence to take authority when making decisions on behalf of RSCDS and be the face and voice of the team. The COO will work to increase membership and engage the current members. This is a varied role, and no two days will be the same. There is a great opportunity here to design a fast and responding organisation.
We are looking for a strong leader who is able to engage with members and influence decision making. To be successful in this role, you may be someone with a background in office management, marketing, HR, operations or volunteer management. Although this would be beneficial, you do not need to have experience within the charity sector to be successful in this role. If you feel that you are able to manage people and volunteers whilst being able to influence through the art of negotiation,
This could be the perfect role for you. This is a wonderful and unique opportunity to take RSCDS to a great place. If you have a passion for dance, this is advantageous.
Stills is a centre for photography with a long history of supporting the advancement, practice, enjoyment, exploration and understanding of photography. We deliver an annual programme of exhibitions and events; the Stills School education programme; and access to top of the range photographic production facilities and courses. We are looking for new Board members to expand and strengthen the range of experience and knowledge of our Board of Directors. Previous experience of being on a Board is not necessary and we welcome interest from people of all ages and levels of experience.
We are particularly interested in individuals with experience in the following fields:
- Finance
- Visual Art (especially photography or lens-based media)
- Business Development
- Digital Marketing
These areas of knowledge are desirable but not essential. Our priority is to develop a Board that better reflects the diversity of our audiences and draws upon the variety of perspectives that society has to offer.
As a member of the Stills Board of Directors, you will play an exciting key role in the governance of one of Scotland’s key visual arts venues, a member of the Scotland’s Workshops network. We are a registered charity and have been part of Creative Scotland’s Regular Funding portfolio since 2018.
Our Board members give up their time voluntarily. As a minimum commitment, we expect attendance at four Board meetings per year (either in-person or via Zoom) as well as an annual strategy day with the operational team (usually held in September). Board tenure is typically a 4-year term with the option of a 2-year extension. This opportunity is open to local, national and international applicants that can meet this minimum level of commitment.
Stills will provide:
- A Board member induction and introduction to Stills’ premises and the staff team.
- Flexible meeting times and the option to attend meetings in person or online via Zoom/video conferencing software.
- Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses to and from meetings.
- Complimentary access to Stills courses and production facilities.
- A rewarding experience of being involved in the strategy and ongoing development of one of Scotland’s key visual arts venues.

The Organisation
At Art in Healthcare, we are excited and motivated by the possibilities that art provides to support the health and wellbeing of everyone living in Scotland. Over the last thirty years we have worked to improve health and wellbeing for individuals and communities by providing opportunities to experience and engage with high quality visual art, artists and creativity. Art in Healthcare is registered in Scotland as a company limited by guarantee (SC278142) and as a charity (SC036222). Art in Healthcare is run by a small staff team and a Board of Directors.
The Role
The Finance and Office Manager is a key member of the team and will have the opportunity to become involved in all aspects of the charity. Your key focus will be finance, but we’re looking for someone who also has strong administration and organisational skills and ideally some experience of project management and events.
You will lead on data protection, finance, insurance, premises and retail. You will work with the Executive Director to support HR and risk management.
The following provides an indication of the skills and experience that we think will allow an individual to approach this role with confidence. Not all suitable applicants may have all of these skills and experience. We would still like to hear from you if you can demonstrate abilities that will enable you to succeed in the role.
