Income generation lead/Business manager

The Ferret is Scotland’s award-winning investigative platform. We’re owned by our members, not by billionaires or corporations, and our focus is on investigating the powerful and holding them to account.

We operate differently to most media organisations. We are a not-for-profit co-operative, which means our members help to shape some of our decisions. We also have a non-hierarchical team, which means the big decisions are made

collectively.

After 10 successful years, we’re taking The Ferret to the next level, and we’re looking for someone to come on board to help us grow and develop. We’re looking for a talented business manager who can improve our resilience as an organisation over the coming years, ensure our financial stability, and make sure we continue serving our members and readers.

Working three days per week, you’ll lead on our income generation from grants, develop our organisational strategy in collaboration with the team, oversee our budgets and liaise with our board and staff to agree annual plans and track our progress.

You’ll be a self-starter, used to working without supervision and have an entrepreneurial nature and a creative approach. We’re looking for a combination of great project management skills, plenty of experience in partnership working and

funding expertise. While knowledge of the independent media space is an advantage, we can teach you what you need to know.

As our slogan goes, our journalism changes things. This is an opportunity to help us fulfill that mission.

About the role

You will look after many of the non-editorial duties required to run The Ferret. A key part of your role will also be leading our fundraising strategy.

• Experience of financial management.
• A self-starter, with an entrepreneurial mindset, able to work with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrable experience managing projects and using influence to keep things on track.
• Commitment to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity across the organisation.

Desirable experience

• Knowledge of the independent media sector

We are a non-hierarchical organisation with oversight provided by our board.

Employees have a say in the future of the organisation, and are expected to work both as part of a team and independently.

This role allows the successful candidate to help shape the future of our organisation, at a crucial time in politics and media.

About Generations Working Together

Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. Our mission is to develop, expand and improve IG practice nationwide. Our vision is to live in a Scotland where different generations are more connected, where everyone has opportunities to build relationships that help to create a more inclusive society.

Intergenerational work means relationship-based projects, activities and events where people of different generations, who might not otherwise meet, do things together in positive and creative ways. It includes any activities which purposefully ignore, remove or break down social, environmental, cultural or institutional barriers between generations e.g. ageism, making spaces for older & younger people to meet naturally, get to know each other, share ideas, pass on &/or learn new skills, work together to identify solutions to problems, addressing challenges in their communities, all the while forging relationships and friendships.

An intergenerational lens can also be applied to the workplace which can now have up to five generational cohorts within. Organisations are considering the impact of this and are questioning whether they have the right policies, processes and ethos in place to support their diverse expectations. Applying an intergenerational lens to the workplace provides an opportunity to consider the benefits that come from diverse generational groups.

As a membership and capacity-building organisation, GWT operate locally and nationally raising awareness, sharing and expanding knowledge and understanding of intergenerational practice and its impact. We provide training and wide-ranging resources and organise learning events and facilitate local and thematic networking opportunities, to enable high quality intergenerational activity to take root on the ground & flourish. GWT lead and deliver pilot projects to support and encourage the development and delivery of intergenerational practice in new settings. We also participate in research projects and scan relevant research taking place across the world for distilling and sharing with our members and others.

A short film narrated by our retired chair Alan Hatton-Yeo MBE can be viewed here on our YouTube channel detailing our history and the background of intergenerational work and its growth in the UK.

Hear from our volunteer Trustees below:

Q.What is it like to be a volunteer Trustee?

A. “Volunteering with GWT this past few years has let me see the value of intergenerational practice in many arenas of life. It has given me greater insight into the passionate practice out there and also the resource and specialism required to support it to be done in ever more meaningful and measurable ways. I have loved the opportunity so far of being part of a Board with such great diversity of age and experience.” (Trustee)

A.“My experience volunteering as a Trustee for GWT over the past nine years has been both rewarding personally and beneficial professionally. Exposure to the Governance and Compliance aspects of Trusteeship has been useful supporting my role as a senior manager within a private sector business, while the opportunity to present to workshops and conferences has been invaluable experience of public speaking. Additionally, working alongside the other Trustees and GWT staff who have a wealth of diverse and in-depth experience has been extremely useful from a professional development perspective. From a personal perspective, being able to give my time to support a cause which is increasingly important to society overall and impacts on the lives of everyone I know is rewarding and well worth the investment in time.” (Trustee)
