Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway (TSDG) is looking for a consultant to identify third sector organisations within the region that are providing employability-related services to deliver activities linking to the Employability Pipeline.
TSDG is one of 32 third sector interfaces in Scotland. There is one in each local authority area. TSDG has four purposes:
- To be the voice of the third sector
- To be a source of knowledge and expertise about the sector
- To build the capacity of the sector
- To provide leadership to the sector
The vision of Third Sector Dumfries and Galloway is to improve the quality of life of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged within Dumfries and Galloway. We do this by working with third sector partners and public sector agencies to identify areas and communities of greatest need, design responses and create an environment for innovation and growth.
TSDG receives funding from Dumfries and Galloway Local Employability and Skills Partnership and South of Scotland Enterprise to strengthen the role of third sector organisations in employability; through this work we aim to improve the capacity, scope and influence of third sector employability provision, helping to increase employment opportunities for people across our region.
