Where the role fits in our organisation

Our Communities and Place team consists of our Employability, Learning and Skills, Community Transport, Volunteering, Children and Families and Locality teams. This role sits within the Employability, Learning and Skills, although the focus of the role is on Business Support and community engagement. No technical knowledge of Employability issues is required.

What You'll Do

The Employability Development Officer will play a critical role in evolving the role of the third sector in employability over the next three years. There is much potential in the sector that can be unlocked by discovering and implementing new ways of working that directly benefit the people of Dumfries and Galloway.

A detailed knowledge of Employability is not needed for this role – it is a business support role, and will not involve the direct delivery of any employability activities.

Instead, this role will support third sector organisations to understand how they could offer employability opportunities, and work with our public sector partners to make the support for individuals effective and seamless. You will form great relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, making sure you add real value to the lives of people seeking employment or training across Dumfries and Galloway.

This role would suit someone with experience of working in business support or administration for a third sector organisation and with ambitions to make an even bigger difference to the people of Dumfries and Galloway through a regional role, or a new entrant with the correct skills and approach.

The role will be line managed and supported by the Lead for Employability and further supported by the wider TSDG Comms and Business Support teams. It is principally a 9am – 5pm, 4 day/week role, with very limited evening or weekend working anticipated. The actual work pattern would be discussed at interview but we can offer a high degree of flexibility through our flexi-time policy. A maximum of 50% of time would be home-working, with the rest in the Dumfries office or out with partners.

Role responsibilities

Research, mapping and evidence development

• Create, maintain and analyse a comprehensive mapping of third sector employability and skills activity across Dumfries and Galloway.

• Co-facilitate Action Collabs or other engagement activities in communities across Dumfries and Galloway to identify barriers and generate solutions to remove barriers to TSOs offering employability opportunities.
• Produce insights reports, practice notes, and briefings for the Lead Officer and wider TSDG Leadership team.

Digital platform and resource development

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of the shared digital knowledge hub.

Advice and support to third sector organisations

• Provide signposting, information and early-stage advice to TSOs developing employability-related activities.

Project administration support

• Ensure that accurate project documentation, databases, minutes, action logs and reporting trackers are maintained.
• Plan and administrate Employability events and activities, with Lead Officer support.

Excellence and continuous improvement

• Support colleagues across TSDG to deliver on our joint outcomes and contribute to effective team working to make TSDG a great place to work.

More about you

• You will have experience of business support or administration, or equivalent Training / Qualifications – this role would suit a new entrant with the right skills and approach.
• You will be able to quickly form excellent working relationships with a wide range of partners.
• You will highlight emerging opportunities to line management, displaying good judgment and a bias for action.
• You will take responsibility for delivery of your own outcomes, and to escalate challenges or concerns in good time.
• You will be a good team player, with good verbal and written communication skills and good knowledge of current common workplace IT systems.

PF Counselling Service plays a vital role in Edinburgh's mental health and counselling ecosystems, by offering accessible counselling to adults who might otherwise be excluded due to cost or waiting times. Offering almost 14,000 counselling sessions a year by 110 volunteer counsellors, the charity demonstrates both scale and impact. Counselling at the PF is provided by a combination of volunteer counsellors in training with reputable training bodies and those who have completed their training qualifications. The PF is also supported by volunteer receptionists, a governance Board, and a small staff team. The service is available to individuals over the age of 18, and every client is invited to donate for sessions in accordance with our donation framework which sets the minimum donation at £20 to support the charity’s work. The PF is located in the Morningside area of Edinburgh.

Having gone through a period of transition, the PF is pleased to welcome a new CEO (appointed October 2025) to lead the strategic direction of the organisation, supported by the Board of Trustees. Alongside the rest of the Board, the Treasurer will play a pivotal role in steering and supporting the charity through growth, sustainability challenges (such as funding, waiting lists, volunteer capacity) and ensuring the service continues to meet its mission in a changing environment. With increasing mental health demands and third sector pressures, strong leadership at Board level can make a real difference.

The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the financial affairs of the Pastoral Foundation, ensuring they are conducted within legal requirements, good practice, and in line with the organisation’s objectives. The Treasurer supports the Board of Trustees in safeguarding the charity’s financial sustainability and integrity. The Treasurer will also work closely with the organisation’s Board, CEO, and staff to advocate for the growth, funding, and sustainability of PF Counselling.
