Foundation Scotland is an independent charity that provides funding to charities, social enterprises and community organisations. We do this on behalf of over 400 individuals, charitable trusts and companies.

About the role
We are growing our team to accommodate new business and have an exciting opportunity for a well organised and motivated individual to join our Communities team to run a portfolio of community benefit funds across Dumfries & Galloway or the Ayrshire region.

Our Communities Team works with communities across Scotland to devise and implement their own strategies for place-based funds coming from a range of sources, notably renewables businesses. We provide fund governance, grant administration and related services for a range of commercial and community-sector clients, combined with a commitment to community-led approaches.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives on new challenges, and is passionate about making a meaningful difference for communities.

About you
Reporting to a Community Funds Manager, you will bring experience in grant making, excellent interpersonal and facilitation skills, the ability to learn and adapt quickly and a strong understanding of community-led approaches.
