Are you passionate about supporting communities, building resilience and helping people prepare for and recover from flooding? Scottish Flood Forum is looking for two Community Resilience Managers to join our team and play a vital role in strengthening flood resilience across Scotland.

About the Role

As a Community Resilience Manager, you will help develop and deliver Scottish Flood Forum’s community resilience work across Scotland. You will work directly with communities and individuals at risk of flooding, supporting them to understand their flood risk, strengthen local preparedness and recover more effectively when flooding occurs.

This is a highly varied role that will involve partnership working, community engagement, project delivery and regular travel across Scotland. You will need to be comfortable working independently, responding flexibly to community needs and representing Scottish Flood Forum with professionalism and empathy.

About You

We are looking for people who are motivated by practical community action and committed to making a positive difference for those affected by flooding. You will be educated to degree level or equivalent and bring a strong understanding of voluntary sector management, community engagement and partnership working.

• Experience of community engagement and working effectively with community groups
• Experience of working with local government and/or SEPA
• Strong project delivery skills and the ability to manage several priorities at once
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across organisations, communities and individuals
• Flexibility, resilience and the ability to support people in challenging or stressful situations

Why Join Us?

At Scottish Flood Forum, you will be part of work that has a real impact on people’s lives. This is no ordinary 9–5 role: no two days are the same, and you will work with a wide range of communities, partners and individuals across Scotland. If you enjoy variety, meaningful community work and helping people build confidence and resilience, we would like to hear from you.
