Role

SCDC is the lead body for community development in Scotland. We work across sectors and professions and use what we learn to help shape policy for strong, influential and inclusive communities. For us, communities which are strong and sustainable are central to a more just and equal society. We are now looking to add to our team to help us drive forward our vision of an active, inclusive and just Scotland.

SCDC is seeking to recruit a temporary Development Manager to develop and implement several of our operational programmes and to deliver on contract work. To be successful, you will need a proven track record in working with and alongside communities and community organisations, and with strategic partners at local and national levels. You will have knowledge of the policy environment for community development and empowerment in Scotland and you will have first rate facilitation, communication and writing skills. As a key member of the team, you will be expected to contribute to the strategic direction of SCDC through programme development and business planning.
