Full Job Description
This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with a driven team of social enterprise and community developers in one of Scotland’s most well regarded and effective social enterprise support providers. Community Enterprise Ltd is a well-established third sector support organisation with a progressive outlook and a diverse portfolio.
Community Enterprise, with partners from Just Enterprise, the Scottish Community Alliance, and the Development Trust Association launched an online “crisis button” for organisations facing severe and urgent challenges who need the right support and quickly. Over 140 organisations have accessed the service since its launch.
We need to grow the team to keep pace with the demand for this service. We have become established as the ‘go to’ provider for organisations in distress and having secured funding to deliver this service, are now looking to appoint a dedicated lead.
The role will be based within the development team but will focus on those facing challenges. Though some support will be provided by the post holder, this is also a co-ordinating role, drawing together support from across Scotland. We are particularly keen to enhance the capacity and skillset of our team by recruiting someone with strong financial and governance skills and experience. The successful candidate will also support the core work of the development team.

Community Enterprise
View full company profileEstablished 37 years ago, Community Enterprise Ltd first started operating as Community Enterprise Lothians in 1987. Originally funded by the Urban Regeneration Fund, CE Ltd worked in deprived areas of Edinburgh developing local businesses and supporting local people. As the role of social enterprise in regenerating our communities has become more recognized, and as community empowerment has become more widespread, so has the importance of delivering ‘hands-on’ development support to community organisations wishing to become more effective and more sustainable. This change in environment and need has also led to the evolution of Community Enterprise itself. From being an intermediary organisation operating in Edinburgh, signposting community organisations to possible assistance, we have now become the direct deliverer of that assistance and expertise and operate throughout Scotland. Community Enterprise Ltd is a social enterprise itself, currently earning the majority of its own income through its trading subsidiary, but using grants to fund specific programmes. Our vision is of a society where social and financial wealth is created by, and used for the benefit of, empowered communities.
