For the past nine years, Bethany Christian Trust have been delivering a community-based addiction recovery program in Scotland. As the demand for this service grows, we are looking for a candidate who will lead, develop and deliver Bethany’s Bridge to Freedom program within a group setting. A significant part of the role will also be to facilitate and develop recovery and resettlement work in partnership with churches and other organisations around Inverness.

It is essential that you have experience in facilitating, planning and working with vulnerable people in a community setting. A qualification in Social Work, Social Care, Community Education or related discipline is essential, or a willingness to work towards such a qualification.

As Bethany is a Christian organisation this post carries an Occupational Requirement in line with Equality Act 2010. Applicants should have and be able to evidence an active Christian faith and commitment.

Successful applicants for this post will require membership of the PVG scheme.

We are committed to helping our employees flourish personally and professionally. Below are a few examples of the ways we support our employees.

• Bethany provides 30 days of annual leave initially to all contracted staff, rising to a maximum of 40 days depending on length of service.
• Bethany provides enhanced payments for maternity, paternity, and adoption.
• Bethany operates a company pension scheme to which all staff are auto-enrolled, with option to opt out. We will match any staff member’s pension contribution up to a maximum of 5%.
• Bethany provides a death in service benefit scheme.

We’re looking for a highly organised, strategic thinker with an eye and appetite for improvement to help us deliver our mission to support participation and improvement in higher education through grant funding and research.

We’ve recently completed a major strategic review and will soon publish a new Strategic Plan that sets out an ambitious direction for the years ahead. To bring that plan to life we are looking for a Head of Grants and Operations who will work with our CEO to build the systems, culture and organisational confidence we need to deliver.

As one of six staff – and the Chief Executive’s closest operational partner – you’ll play a central role in designing how the organisation works day to day and how it grows over time. You’ll lead on governance, risk, HR, finance oversight, and operational systems including overseeing the administration of our grants schemes.

If you have senior operational leadership experience, ideally from a mission-driven organisation or charity, the ability to lead organisational change with empathy and clarity and you share our passion for improving equity and success in higher education, then we’d love to hear from you.

About North Berwick Trust

North Berwick Trust is a long-established local charity supporting residents through grant-giving, land stewardship, and community investment. Each year, the Trust distributes around £250,000 in grants to individuals, community groups, and organisations, supporting education, wellbeing, recreation, and initiatives that alleviate local need.

The Trust is also a significant landowner, responsible for maintaining two key areas of public open space for community use, requiring effective contract management, estates administration, and long-term planning.

The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees, who work through thematic groups covering Grants, Estates, and Finance. With a small staff team and an engaged Board, the Trust offers a collaborative and values-led environment where communication, relationship-building, and practical support are central to success.

The Trust is seeking a proactive and organised Trust Officer to support the Trust Manager and Trustees in delivering the day-to-day operations of the organisation. You will:

• Act as first point of contact for general and grant enquiries
• Maintain grants records, databases, and reporting to ensure transparency
• Research and apply for external funding opportunities
• Support preparation of Board and committee papers, meetings, and minutes
• Monitor grounds maintenance contracts and estates administration
• Maintain website, social media, and other digital communications
• Deputise for the Trust Manager during periods of leave

This is a varied role combining administration, grants, communications, and estates management and offers the opportunity to make a visible impact on the North Berwick community.

What North Berwick Trust needs from you

The ideal candidate will bring administrative or officer-level experience within a charity, community trust or similar environment, or be able to demonstrate strong transferable skills. You will be highly organised, an effective communicator with excellent attention to detail, and experienced in supporting meetings, managing records and monitoring contracts or service delivery. You will be confident using IT systems relevant to charity administration and able to work independently while supporting Trustees with governance and compliance.

Ideally, you will also have experience of identifying funding opportunities and preparing grant applications, alongside some knowledge of estates, property or grounds maintenance. Familiarity with OSCR requirements, Scottish charity regulation, and maintaining websites or social media would be an advantage.

You will be proactive, self-motivated and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a small charity environment. Collaborative and values-driven, you will build effective relationships with Trustees and colleagues and demonstrate a willingness to learn and develop as the organisation continues to evolve.
