At Space we believe that connections build communities.
Well established in South West Edinburgh for over 30 years, our team of staff and volunteers engage with our communities to design and deliver services that create environments where people feel supported, empowered and valued.
We are in the final year of our current strategy; as we head into 26/27, we will be reviewing progress and embarking on our strategy for 2027-2030.
The Role
The Head of Community and Connections is a key leadership role, taking ownership of our frontline services which includes our varied and diverse work with Children and Young People, Adults and Older People, and Community Learning and Development. More information about our services can be found on our website spacescot.org.
You’ll be line managing a team of experienced, skilled and passionate individuals, enhancing their strengths and supporting them to further develop.
Working closely with our Board, CEO and Management Team you’ll help to shape strategy, strengthen partnerships and ensure the standard of our services remain high quality, sustainable and rooted in community need.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role at a defining moment for Space.
You’ll play a central role in shaping our next strategy, influencing what our services look like over the next 3–5 years, and helping translate ambition into meaningful impact.
Alongside this, you’ll support the development of an emerging Community Health Service — building on strong foundations to create something ambitious, responsive and genuinely impactful for local communities.
If you’re someone who enjoys shaping direction, developing people and turning ideas into reality, this is a role with real scope and influence.
Day to day you be:
• Helping develop and deliver Space’s organisational strategy
• Shaping services to be impactful and responsive, spotting opportunities to grow, improve or reimagine what we do — always guided by community voice
• Representing Space confidently across networks, partnerships and collaborations
• Supporting and developing Project Managers to flourish in their role, coaching, creating space for reflection and learning, sharing learning and championing continuous improvement
• Ensuring safeguarding, compliance and HR responsibilities are understood and embedded

• Building strong, transparent relationships with funders and partners
• Be a key leader in the Space team, building positive working relationships across the organisation
What it’s like to work at Space:
We care deeply about what we do and how we work. We work hard and get stuck in because we truly care about our community and each other.
We live our values – they’re not just words printed on letterheads.
We’re a team and work collaboratively, we support each other to succeed, we value relationships as much as results – egos are best left at the door.
We’re not a finished article, we’re still evolving, still learning and not everything is perfectly optimised (yet).
We find a way – we focus on solutions; challenges are puzzles to be worked out not excuses to give up.
We’re curious and innovative, we challenge the norm and aren’t scared to voice ideas if we think we have a better way.
The sector is demanding and unpredictable at times, priorities shift but if difficult decisions have to be made and we do it with integrity and maintain a people first ethos.
We have a pretty flexible approach to work - we know that everyone’s body clocks, responsibilities and preferred working environments differ. At the same time, we really value staying connected and collaborating with each other. From experience, our work is at its strongest when we come together, so we encourage a healthy balance with a regular presence in the office.
What you’ll bring:
• Experience of leading or overseeing frontline Health & Social Care or community based services at a senior level
• A people first mindset and strong, values led people management experience
• Good judgement – you’ll know when to stick to policy and when to exercise common sense to make balanced decisions
• A positive can do attitude, ready to roll your sleeves up and take on challenges
• Clear communication, being able to naturally connect with people on all levels across the organisation and with stakeholders, and easily build a reputation for being approachable and trustworthy
• Confidence working with budgets and financial information, able to not only understand but translate them to others. Knowledge of charity finances would be an advantage
• Experience of working with a Board of Trustees and reporting to funders
• The ability to plan well, write business cases and manage multiple complex projects at the same time
• Strong digital skills, confidence using Microsoft Office (we use Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and digital collaboration tools
• A solid understanding of health & safety practices and safeguarding
• Some flexibility with working hours to provide occasional on call telephone support to services that run out with typical office hours.

- Empowerment and enjoyment are key. Families thrive when parents feel confident, have nurturing relationships with their children, and the whole family can experience the joy of life together.
- Needs-based and responsive support. We listen to families and provide flexible support based on their needs and challenges. No two families are the same and we work to address individual needs and support families as long as they need us.

Digital Asset Management System Project Manager
- Full time
- £35,800
- On site: Edinburgh
- Closing 17th July 2026
JOB PURPOSE
As Scotland’s leading conservation charity, the National Trust for Scotland cares for, shares and speaks up for Scotland’s heritage. Since 1931, we’re pioneered public access to and shared ownership of some of the most magnificent buildings, collections and landscapes in Scotland. We care for ancient houses, battlefields, castles, mills, gardens, coastlines, islands and mountain ranges, as well as the plants, animals and birds that live there.
To share these special places, we hold approximately 50,000 image assets to promote and explain the purpose of the Trust. We are conscious that we do not have a robust digital asset management system to store and manage access rights to these images. These include images of:
- People
- Places – castles, gardens and landscapes
- Conservation in action
- Wildlife and nature
Note: there is an existing database (Portfolio) which holds imagery of collections items (as undertaken in a previous digitisation project).
Currently, these assets are saved across a range of locations: SharePoint, locally on people’s own machines, Flickr, on external hard drives. There are significant risks to the Trust having no coherent storage system:
- Misuse of imagery (contravening IP/copyright information) because we have no way of securely tagging and storing contracts/permissions forms alongside imagery
- Loss of assets (many are currently stored on external hard drives)
- Difficulty of sharing imagery both internally and externally
- Storage costs from duplication of images across personal machines
This immediately affects Content/Marketing, Communications and Fundraising within Audiences & Support. We currently do not have the resource or expertise within the Directorate to initiate this project so are looking for an external expert to develop a plan for how to transition to a DAMs.
The purpose of this role is to assess our current position, auditing our assets and putting in place a robust plan for an intuitive, well-governed asset management system in line with the work already done by the Collections team. We would like to use Portolio, a system already in place in other areas across the Trust, but would like the successful applicant to assess the efficacy of Portfolio, and report on its benefits/issues/whether we can optimise it to work for us, or whether an alternative package should be considered so we can make an informed decision. This will ensure a consist approach to asset management is taken across the Trust.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES
- Audit assets (video, imagery, illustrations) within the Directorate to gauge the scale of the requirements and clarify work required on copyright records.
- Assess the functionality of Portfolio for imagery, including a report on whether any development work is required to ensure it is suitable for the needs of the directorate.
- Build upon the work already done by the Collections Team to develop clear cataloguing standards for the DAMs to improve access and rights management and to ensure that a consistent approach is taken to asset management across the organisation
- Develop a plan for how to transition live imagery to Portfolio, and how to manage the transition of the image backlog.
- Design a plan for the implementation of workflows for good digital asset management including a review and disposal criteria policy and ongoing resource requirements.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS, SKILLS, EXPERIENCE & KNOWLEDGE
Qualifications
Essential
- Strong track record in DAMs management and/or commercial digital image library management
Desirable
- Educated to a degree level in a relevant heritage or information technology subject
