We really help disabled people take those first vital steps towards making sustainable employment a reality.

This is a unique opportunity to support the effective coordination of CCN, and support CCN’s members to shape the development of the newly independent organisation. With the role previously being hosted by Fauna and Flora, from August 2026 onwards the Coordinator will be the first direct employee of CCN.

With the direction and mentorship of the board of trustees, and ongoing mentoring support from Fauna & Flora, this role suits an individual who is excited by the prospect of working independently, with a passion to facilitate the member groups’ visions for nature across Scotland’s coasts and seas.

The ideal candidate will have excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate communications across a large and disparate group. You will have good knowledge of the Scottish marine environment and current marine and coastal issues, and a strong commitment to the rights of communities in marine conservation. You will be able to seek out and harness the views and contributions of others, and to work sensitively and constructively with a range of stakeholders.

About CCN:

The Coastal Communities Network (or CCN) launched in 2017 with support from NGO Fauna & Flora, as a platform to bring together community organisations dedicated to safeguarding Scotland's coastal and marine environments. CCN has since grown from its eight founding members into a diverse network of over 35 Scottish community-led groups, ranging from informal volunteer-run groups to larger, charitable organisations, all united by a shared sense of accountability to their community and commitment to marine and coastal protection and restoration. CCN and its members have been a driving force behind remarkable achievements for the nature of Scotland's coastal areas. Together, members work on a wide range of marine and coastal topics, including marine management, community-led restoration, marine litter and pollution and industrial impact.

CCN’s mission is to connect and strengthen community-led efforts to protect, restore, and sustainably use coastal & marine resources for the benefit of nature, people, and climate. Our aims are to support local action to protect and restore marine and coastal biodiversity; build capacity for community participation and leadership in marine management, and advocate for a community voice in decision-making for the marine environment.

2025 marked a pivotal point for CCN as, following a collective decision by members, it became an independent Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). This exciting development sees us now transitioning into employing our own staff and developing our strategy, as we continue to support an increasing interest from communities.
