Role

Role

Norton Park SCIO is a charity supporting the voluntary sector in Edinburgh by providing high-quality, affordable workspace and conference facilities. Over 25 non-profits are based at Norton Park, and hundreds more use our centre for meetings, training, and events.

We’re now looking for a creative, people-focused Community Engagement Coordinator to shape and deliver a vibrant programme of activities that supports connection, wellbeing, and collaboration among our tenants and the wider voluntary sector.

This is a hands-on, varied role with scope to build on existing work and develop new opportunities. You’ll lead on organising activities like Lunch & Learns, yoga sessions, social gatherings and learning opportunities – as well as building relationships with external organisations to extend Norton Park’s reach.

If you’re passionate about the voluntary sector, enjoy bringing people together, and are excited by the chance to help shape the next phase of community development at Norton Park, we’d love to hear from you.

About You

We’re looking for someone with experience in community engagement, events, or partnership work, and who has a good understanding of the voluntary sector. You’ll be confident working both independently and as part of a small team, and skilled at making things happen – from planning and promoting events, to building relationships and creating a welcoming environment.

Strong communication, organisational and networking skills are essential, as is a commitment to the values of the third sector.

What We Offer

- £27,000 pro rata (based on 36.25 hour FTE)

- 15 hours per week, typically Tuesday to Thursday

- 25 days annual leave + 10 public holidays (pro rata)

- 7% employer pension contribution

- 2 volunteering days (pro-rata)

A friendly, purpose-driven work environment
