Charity registered in Scotland SC037181
Circle is a Scottish charity providing family support services to some of the most marginalised children and families in Scotland.
Circle is a registered charity working at the heart of communities across central Scotland. We work with families facing multiple disadvantages because of structural inequality, poverty, drug and alcohol use, imprisonment, physical or mental health, trauma, abuse and loss. We believe that every child, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the support they need to live a happy and healthy life.
Circle is seeking a skilled and relationship-driven Fundraising Officer with experience working with trusts and foundations and a talent for turning real stories into compelling funding applications. You’ll work closely with colleagues across our projects — spending time in services, gathering insight, and grounding every application in lived experience. Strong analytical skills, excellent written communication, and confidence using content management systems and digital tools are essential.
We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organised, and committed to equality and inclusion. You’ll be a creative storyteller, an effective collaborator, and someone who thrives on building relationships. If you’re passionate about making a difference for children and families — and you prefer to be out meeting people rather than writing in isolation — we’d love to hear from you.

Circle is seeking an experienced and compassionate Assistant Manager to play a key leadership role in supporting the delivery, development, and sustainability of our services across Fife, Forth Valley, Tayside, South Lanarkshire and North Lanarkshire. Rooted in community justice, trauma-informed practice, and family support, our services work alongside individuals and families facing the complex impacts of poverty, inequality and stigma. The Assistant Manager will provide strong operational leadership, ensuring high-quality, strengths-based interventions that respond holistically to the needs of those affected by the justice system.
Working closely with Senior Management, the postholder will oversee day-to-day service delivery, lead and develop staff, and maintain robust quality assurance across multiple localities. They will build effective partnerships with statutory and third-sector agencies, coordinate professional development, and support reporting, evaluation and project sustainability. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated leader with a strong understanding of trauma-informed practice, safeguarding, and community justice to make a meaningful impact on families and communities.
