Role

Borders Community Action is seeking a dynamic and highly motivated individual to join our team. This is an exciting role in a fresh dynamic organisation that is looking to maximise the capability of the vital third sector across the Scottish Borders. 

The Community Development Lead role includes direct support to local charities, voluntary organisations, and social enterprises by providing guidance on governance, capacity building, and partnership development.

Strong communication, networking, project management skills and good understanding of grant processes are essential for success in this role. It is expected that a significant proportion of this work will be dedicated to Eastern Borders.
