Role

Are you an experienced Project Manager who has the enthusiasm and versatility to help us drive forward our land management, renewables and housing objectives? Do you have a successful track record in fundraising to build upon the significant amount of funding we have already attracted to kick-start our Tayvallich Initiative? 

We are seeking a part-time, freelance Project Manager who will work with our Board and Working Group Leads to drive forward our action plans for the next 12 months for the land our community owns. The key focus will be to identify and apply for funding opportunities to enable us to achieve our objectives as well as finding other ways to generate alternative sources of revenue. You will also take a lead in ensuring our local community continues to be as actively involved and engaged as they have been so far. 

As you will be required to attend our Board and Working Group meetings and consultation events, some out-of-hours working will be required. 

• Role Title: Project Manager

• Freelance opportunity, fixed term, for one year

• Hours: on average 2 days a week 

• Remuneration: £275 per day (inclusive of VAT if applicable and expenses). £26,400 total fee 

• Reporting to: Chair of Tayvallich Initiative Board

• Location: Tayvallich, Mid Argyll. This role is home-based and would ideally suit someone based locally in the Mid Argyll area who can travel to the community for events and engagement meetings. The Tayvallich Community Hall is available for community events and has some space for office working.
