Role
Job Purpose:To provide practical support to the trustees across all areas of EJCC’s operation – governance, management, programme development, programme delivery and fundraising.
Who We Are: Edinburgh Jewish Cultural Centre registered as a SCIO with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in 2018. Our background, history and programme of activities can be found on our website jcc.scot but in short, our purpose is to celebrate and share Judaism and Jewish culture with people of all faiths and none, Jews and non-Jews, as we create a dynamic and vibrant Jewish life for the 21st Century.
Our ultimate ambition is to create a physical space which will be a home for our programme and a catalyst for community cohesion in Edinburgh and across Scotland.
At present all of our activity is generated by a volunteer board of trustees who give of their time and expertise freely to develop and grow the work of the organisation. The success of our activities to date now means that in order to take the next steps on our journey we need to engage administrative support to help underpin our plans for the future.
Duties and Responsibilities: The list is wide-ranging and comprehensive. Please do not be put off from applying if you do not have skills in every area listed. At present our programme takes place online. While we anticipate a gradual return to face-to-face events, we expect that ‘virtual’ will be an ongoing dimension of our programme. We expect, therefore, that candidates will have excellent IT skills, be comfortable working across a variety of social media and, ideally have experience of Wix, the online platform on which our website is built.

About us
Research Data Scotland (RDS) is a charity set up by the Scottish public sector and leading universities.

Working in partnership, we do this by widening the range of data available, creating new data assets and providing a single point of contact for safe, secure and effective access to public data in a trustworthy manner.
Data is often locked away in lots of individual systems, across many different organisations, and isn’t in a format that makes access or integration easy. We can help researchers to unlock the potential of this data by giving them information and advice that speeds up and simplifies their work.
RDS aims to provide a step change in the service to researchers, whilst maintaining the high standards of information governance and data security already in place. We aim to work as openly as possible, maintaining standards in transparency and ethics. Our focus is on providing a streamlined service for researchers, as well as extending the range of data available through the service, particularly in the areas of Covid-19, NHS imaging, geospatial data, children and justice services.
Our partners include: Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland, National Records of Scotland (NRS), and the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. We work closely with the national and regional safe havens. And we are in contact with other organisations in Scotland and across the UK in the data research sector, including public sector, research and commercial bodies.
