Background Throughout 2023 a wide network of grassroots community organisations, local campaigners, funders, local authority leaders, and facilitators came together around a vision for a new long-term community fund for Edinburgh. After a period of co-design, learning and fundraising the Regenerative Futures Fund is now entering its operational phase. Role Overview Foundation Scotland is excited to invite applications for the role of Co-Head of the Regenerative Futures Fund. This innovative, ten-year fund aims to tackle the root causes of poverty and racism while contributing to a just green transition in Edinburgh. We are now recruiting a new Co-Head to work alongside the current Head. The Co-Head roles will collaboratively shape the direction of the fund, with each Co-Head focusing on distinct but complementary areas. What We Are Looking For We are seeking a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive leader, for the role of Co-Head. This person will lead participation, evaluation, learning, and communications. The Co-Heads will work closely together, and while each has distinct areas of focus, responsibilities will be shaped collaboratively based on their skills and interests. We are looking for someone with a passion for social justice, particularly at the intersection of poverty, racism, and environmental challenges. We encourage candidates from diverse and nontraditional career paths, including those who have navigated these systemic barriers., None specified
