Dumfries, United Kingdom South of Scotland Enterprise Full time

The Enterprising Communities team supports the development of ambitious social enterprises and community-led organisations across the South of Scotland.

We encourage and develop entrepreneurial thinking, with the aim of enabling communities and social enterprises to realise their ideas and ambitions; providing opportunities for all and supporting local places to thrive.

We are looking to recruit a Community Development Advisor to join the team to support communities in:

  •  Boosting Community Capacity & Confidence
  •  Supporting Community-Led Regeneration and & Enterprise Development
  • Encouraging Ambition and Entrepreneurial Thinking

About Us

South of Scotland Enterprise (also known as SOSE) is the dedicated Economic and Community Development agency for the Scottish Borders and Dumfries & Galloway. 

Established by the Scottish Government, SOSE represents a fresh approach to driving growth across a very special region in a way that benefits all.

We are the first of Scotland’s public agencies to promote a wider view of the economy and how it impacts all we do. Jobs, businesses, communities and the environment are all equally important to us. We want to make sure that everyone has an opportunity to fulfil their ambitions, no matter who or where they are.

What you’ll be doing

As a Community Development Adviser, you’ll be the first point of contact for social entrepreneurs, community-led enterprises, and social enterprises at every stage of the enterprising journey, from start-up to established organisations. Dealing with a wide range of enquiries, you will provide business development advice and hands-on support, as well as signposting clients to complementary expertise within the sector.

That means you could be helping clients work through their early ideas, supporting the development of strategic vision and viable business plans through to investment readiness, advising on community asset acquisitions and development projects, developing sustainable funding strategies or new product/service design and delivery. In each case, you’ll listen, guide and advise clients on how best to move forward, and help them to develop their vision, mission and strategy. Whether it’s funding, developing the capacity of client organisations, referrals to specialists or assessment of business needs, you’ll provide a wealth of information and expertise.

The skills and experience you’ll need

Ideally, you’ll have extensive experience as a social enterprise advisor, business development coach or consultant, and/or you may have managed a social enterprise. You’ll also have a successful track record in supporting organisations from start-up onwards to generate their own sustainable commercial income and knowledge of inclusive and democratic business models. You’ll be a natural relationship builder who can forge consultative partnerships with organisations and their senior leaders. Commercially focused and educated to degree level SCQF Level 7 (or equivalent), you’ll have great people and facilitation skills, analytical and financial acumen, project appraisal experience and writing skills.

What We’ll Offer You

We offer a competitive and varied reward package, designed to cover your wellbeing, your lifestyle, your working life and your future, including 43 days holiday annually and a generous pension contribution. Our salary ranges are designed to be competitive and new entrants will normally start on the minimum of the pay range, except in exceptional circumstances. We want to make sure that what we offer helps you to fit your work around your life, not the other way around.

At South of Scotland Enterprise, we celebrate and support differences. We are an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to offering equal employment opportunities regardless of race, colour, ancestral heritage, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity and expression, or veteran status. If you need any adjustments to support your application, such as information in alternative formats or special requirements to access our buildings, or if you’re eligible under The Disability Confident Scheme please contact us and we’ll do all we can to support you.

We operate a hybrid working model balancing working from home with attendance at the office to meet the needs of our clients, our teams and our employees. To enable you to do your job to the best of your ability, IT equipment will be delivered to your home address to make the onboarding process as seamless as possible.

This role is full time and permanent, although we will consider alternative working patterns.

The closing date for applications is 1st September 2024 at 11.59pm and interviews will be held as soon as practical thereafter.   

Clients are based across the South of Scotland and this role requires extensive travel across the region to meet our client and organisation needs.

If you are an Inclusive, Responsible and Bold individual who is always Striving for success and believe you have something to offer the South of Scotland as a Community Development Advisor , then we would love to hear from you.
