Role
Hadeel, the shop, is owned by the charity Palcrafts, whose main aim is to relieve poverty in Palestine (primarily in the West Bank and Gaza), by providing a sustainable source of income for Palestinians working in fair trade organisations and social enterprises. Hadeel enables Palestinian fair trade and business development through our shop in Edinburgh, our website, other outlets, local reps and events. We provide around 20 Palestinian producer groups with access to international customers. These groups include women's co-operatives, a school for deaf children, small family workshops and a few larger enterprises. From time to time, we make grants to these groups to support their sustainability and development. We also seek to raise awareness and support for Palestinian people disadvantaged by socio economic and political systems, e.g. by hosting Palestinian speakers, maintaining a small resource centre and organising occasional visits to the producer groups.
We have been based in Edinburgh since 2003 and have extensive sales networks across the UK and beyond. Besides this post, there are currently two assistants. We also have a team of dedicated volunteers working in the shop. Hadeel is governed by a Council which meets regularly to plan and oversee developments.
The Role
The Coordinator and Business Manager will carry overall responsibility for daily operations, supervision of staff and volunteers and, in collaboration with members of Council, future development of the organisation. This presents an exciting opportunity for a good communicator who has ‘hands on’ experience of the retail sector, project management, strategic planning, partnership working and the fair trade movement.
