Sector Development Officer

We are looking for a colleague to join our Sector Development Officers, who work across our communities and are each assigned a locality of Dumfries and Galloway. The localities currently available are Wigtownshire, Nithsdale and Annandale and Eskdale, however one of those will be chosen by the Lead officer when appointed. You will build a strong third sector through advice on matters including leadership, good governance, sustainability, planning and volunteering, offering generalised support through online resources and an annual training programme, plus targeted interventions to build capacity and resolve short-term issues within local third sector organisations. You will also host and chair the Locality Hub for your area as part of the Community Planning Partnership, working with partners in the local authority, NHS and others, and provide key insights into your locality to inform our thematic projects and overall strategic development.
