Forres, Moray, United Kingdom Leanchoil Trust Full time

Communications Officer Job Description

The Leanchoil Project

The Leanchoil Project was borne out of a desire by the community of the Forres area to save, conserve and repurpose the former Leanchoil hospital which was closed by NHS Grampian in 2018. To achieve this Leanchoil Trust is undertaking a community asset transfer (CAT) of the hospital site and is working with partners to deliver its vision of a community health and wellbeing centre, veterans' activity centre and supported living accommodation.

The CAT process is nearing completion, with conditional missives concluded, and it is anticipated that transfer of ownership will be achieved in late 2024. There will then follow a 2-year construction period with the opening of the Leanchoil Centre scheduled for late 2026. The Trust has spent the last 4 years building relationships with key partners (Hanover Housing, Erskine Veterans' Charity, and Scottish Ambulance Service). It is working with a wide range of organisations to develop a robust and sustainable business model for Leanchoil to ensure its future as a heritage community asset. The Trust is embarking on a capital fundraising programme to raise £4.5 million for the renovation. Alongside this, it needs to ensure the community and stakeholders are fully engaged to inform the development of services and facilities to be delivered. The Trust is at a point where it urgently needs to increase staff capacity as the project enters the next stage of development.

Leanchoil Trust (The Trust)

The Trust was established in 2020 and is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. There is a board of 9 volunteer Trustees who all live in the Forres area and who are passionate about saving Leanchoil and finding a sustainable future for it. They are supported in their work by a Development Officer and Project Coordinator (Technical). The Trust is dependent on grants, donations and fundraising to deliver its work.
