Huntly Development Trust (HDT) is an ambitious, active community-led company and charity working to make Huntly and District a better place to live, work and visit. Established in 2009, we work with other to improve the quality of life in Huntly and District. We have now established a track record of achievement that is increasingly valued locally and recognised nationally.

One of our key projects since 2014 has been development and operation of the Huntly Travel Hub (HTH) to improve ways of getting around our small market town and its wider rural catchment in a green and active way. With support from a range of funders, as well as HDT’s own resources, the project has grown to a fleet of 20 e-bikes, a two car Co-wheels franchise and a community minibus. The HTH is also leading work to improve getting around Huntly more safely through the ongoing Mini Holland initiative and has overseen a community-led plan to develop, improve and promote a path network across the local area. The HTH operates from its own dedicated recently refurbished premises in Huntly Town Centre.

Thanks to funding from the NESTRANS People and Places Programme 2026-27, HDT is seeking to recruit a manager for the HTH. The purpose of the post is to work with a range of stakeholders to maximise the benefits and opportunities that the HTH offers, ensure that it runs in a safe and welcoming manner and generates income for reinvestment. The post-holder will promote and manage all aspects of the HTH, including bookings, repair and maintenance of the vehicle fleet and premises, further development of the paths and Mini-Holland programmes, and develop new avenues for the HTH. The post is offered on a permanent basis, subject to funding/finances. The starting annual salary is £35-36,000 depending on experience and qualifications, plus a contributory pension scheme.
