We are looking for a new Change Programmes Lead to join the FST Team!

Scotland’s performing arts sector is full of talented people, ambitious organisations and inspiring ideas. It also faces significant opportunities and challenges that no single organisation can address alone. Increasingly, progress depends on bringing people together, building partnerships and turning shared ambitions into practical action.

That’s why this role matters.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking, partnership-building and practical delivery to help shape programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector. Someone who can understand complex challenges, build trusted relationships, develop realistic plans and ensure ideas are followed through to meaningful outcomes.

The Change Programmes Lead plays a key role in helping FST turn ideas into action.

Working closely with members, partners and colleagues, you’ll identify opportunities for positive change, develop practical responses and lead programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Some programmes are already well established and ready to grow. Others are emerging ideas that require research, partnership development and careful planning. This role therefore combines strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping shape both current and future areas of work.

Current programmes span areas such as workforce development, mentoring, accessibility, environmental sustainability, organisational resilience and leadership development. While every programme is different, they all share a common purpose: helping Scotland’s performing arts sector become stronger, more connected and better equipped for the future.

This isn’t simply a project management role. It’s about understanding complex challenges, bringing people together, building trusted relationships and creating the conditions for meaningful change. You’ll work across organisations, balancing different perspectives while maintaining a clear focus on shared ambitions and tangible outcomes.

Current Programmes & Priorities

The Change Programmes portfolio continues to evolve in response to member needs and emerging opportunities. Some of the current programmes and workstreams you’ll help lead and develop include:

Bursaries & Professional Development

Leading FST’s professional development bursary programme while exploring opportunities to strengthen its impact, reach and long-term sustainability.

Mentoring & Coaching

Refreshing FST’s mentoring offer through reconnecting previous participants, piloting new models and lighter-touch support surgeries and peer learning.

Workforce Development & Training

Developing and delivering programmes around technical skills, leadership, sustainability and Fair Work through partnerships and targeted professional development opportunities.

Access & Inclusion

Working with Birds of Paradise, Creative Scotland and sector partners to support the future development of Access Scottish Theatre, Scotland’s engagement with the UK-wide All-In programme and wider accessibility infrastructure.

Emerging Needs & Opportunities

Working with FST members and partners to identify new priorities, develop collaborative initiatives and secure partnerships and funding that support the future development of Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Due to internal promotion, we are excited to share news of an opening for a new Executive within our Partnerships and Philanthropy Team, aligned to Corporate Partnerships.

The Corporate Partnerships team are moving through a period of growth which will set this team up to strategically focus their resources and skill where it is most needed in order to attract, cultivate and retain valuable corporate partnerships.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have skill and experience in the following areas:

• Experience of working in account management in either a fundraising or commercial environment.

Why CHAS?

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together. The skill, determination and creative flair of our Fundraising Teams makes this possible.

This is a pivotal moment to join CHAS. We’ve just launched More Than A Hospice - a £20 million appeal to change how Scotland cares for children who will die young, and for the families who love them. Every week, three children in Scotland die from an incurable illness, and advances in medicine mean more children are living longer with complex, life‑shortening conditions - a gift, but one that demands change.

Right now, too many families don’t have real choice throughout their child’s life, or at the end of it - and are sometimes forced into decisions because the care they need isn’t always there when it’s needed. We believe Scotland can - and must - do better. Joining CHAS now means being part of an ambitious appeal that aims to ensure care follows the child - at home, in hospital, or in a hospice so no family faces that moment alone

We offer

• Flexible Working: our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid manner with time split between at home and onsite in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
• Development Opportunities: exposure to a variety of fundraising activities
• Professional Growth: Work with industry leaders in a high-performing team where you will be encouraged and supported to excel and develop your skills.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Including generous annual leave and pension, incremental salary progression, access to Blue Light discounts, and health and wellbeing support.

“You literally saved my life, I was sitting in my bed thinking I have nowhere to stay, and when they tell me to leave I will be on the streets in winter and won’t survive the cold or I would have to start using again and that would be it for me. Then you came into the ward to offer your service and it was like being sent an Angel to look out for me”

About Us:

Duncan Place Community Hub is a social enterprise and registered charity based at 4 Duncan Place, EH6 8HW, a 3-storey listed building next to Leith Links providing:

• By the hour hire rooms for events, training and meetings.
• Leased office space for local charities and social enterprises.
• A base for Duncan Place Community Hub’s own programme of community activities.

The hub is home to a diverse range of organisations and has a growing programme of activities and events. The organisation is managed by a dedicated team of staff and a volunteer board of trustees.

4 Duncan Place was built in 1920 as an annexe to Leith Academy and then became a council run community resource centre. Due to austerity budgets the council closed the building in Sept 2014 and proposed demolition. A group of locals established the Duncan Place charity and carried out significant fundraising. This led to a major refurbishment and a community asset transfer meaning that the charity now owns and manage the building. The hub re-opened in 2020 and has grown significantly with the charity generating income from leases and room hire.

Overview of Role:

Duncan Place Community Hub are now seeking a Community Host to join our small team of staff. This is a varied role where you will help to keep everything running smoothly in this busy hub. As part of the team, you will ensure our four by the hour rooms are set up and ready for our customers, welcome them upon arrival and ensure they reach the correct location within the building.

Between room bookings, you will support the building and facilities coordinator to keep our building running smoothly, safely and presented to a high standard; this includes room set up & take down, reception duties, contributing to our health and safety processes and procedures and responding to smaller maintenance tasks as needed, e.g. putting up shelves, updating signage, occasionally painting walls & woodwork.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in giving a warm welcome and great service, and who understands that this includes the standards of the building as well as the in-person aspects; someone who will work with the team and can use their initiative to plan ahead and be proactive in getting tasks completed to a high standard and with as little inconvenience to our customers as possible.

We have a wonderful and diverse community of building users and universal acceptance and respect is essential. You are expected to have a degree of flexibility and work with the rest of the team to ensure that all planned and reactive maintenance takes place with the minimum of disruption to tenants and room hirers. Shifts are rota’d in advance, and the weekly hours will include at least one evening per week, at least one weekend day per month and other weekday daytime hours.

As tasks are based in Duncan Place Community Hub, hybrid hours are not possible.
