Midsteeple Quarter is a community benefit society, a community-led initiative to revive the heart of Dumfries town centre. We are transforming a row of underused High Street buildings into a vibrant and inclusive neighbourhood called Midsteeple Quarter. The project involves bringing properties into community ownership and renovating them to create affordable housing, workspaces, social enterprises, and cultural activities. By empowering the community to shape their own future, Midsteeple Quarter hopes to restore civic pride, economic vitality, and social cohesion in the town.

Our Enterprise Manager will:

• enable our Standard Building to become an inclusive, welcoming and vibrant venue for young people.
• develop partnerships with a wide range of organisations and co-ordinate a diverse programme of activities, opportunities and events for young people.
• enable young people to access support, training and advice which helps them to realise their ambitions for enterprise, career growth and skills development.
• contribute towards Midsteeple Quarter’s overall vision of breathing new life into Dumfries High Street.
