Community Alliance Trust is a development trust serving Greater Craigmillar. We bring together individuals and organisations to identify need and advocate for positive local change.

We also host and run services from The White House supporting the people of Craigmillar. This includes an open-door policy for those in need, hosting welfare and benefit advisors, as well as directly running community gardening sessions.

We have funding to expand and develop our work this year, including this new role to restore Craigmillar Library Garden.

We are looking for an experienced community gardener to lead our work transforming the neglected grassy area at Craigmillar Library into an edible and sensory community garden. The role will include co-designing the garden layout, engaging with volunteers, and motivating them in gardening sessions at the library.

Gardening sessions will include repairing and building raised beds, prepping the ground for the sensory garden, planting a range of scented, colourful and edible plants suitable for Scotland, supporting volunteers to increase their confidence and gardening skills, and building community.

The project will take place over five months on a part-time basis, with twice-weekly gardening sessions taking place most weeks.

While this project is discrete, we will be looking for a community gardener at our new Niddrie Mill site on a long-term basis. This will be a much larger community garden serving Greater Craigmillar. Please let us know if you are also interested in this permanent position, as we will be hiring for the Niddrie Mill Gardener role from the pool of applicants for the Craigmillar Library Community Gardener.

If you would like to be a part of long-term positive local change in Craigmillar, we would love to hear from you!

North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) is entering a significant phase of organisational development, with access to a new community-owned building, a long-term lease of Milton Community Garden, and the launch of a community food truck in early 2026. These assets present a major opportunity to develop social enterprise activity and earned income that supports long-term financial sustainability.

The Income Generation & Partnerships Manager is a fixed-term, two-year development role. The purpose of the role is to design, test, and embed sustainable income-generation models linked to NGCFI’s assets, ensuring that successful approaches can continue beyond the funding period.

This role is focused on social enterprise development, partnership building, and business planning, and is separate from core frontline service delivery.

Lead the change you want to see

Set the agenda for community action on climate change

FEL is the Scottish environmental charity that’s changing our world for the better, project by project.

We believe that powerful change can be simple to make.

From e-bike libraries to vertical gardens, we bring innovative solutions that combine the latest technology with a hands-on approach. By working with communities, we show people how to make everyday improvements that help them, their neighbours, and the planet.

Now we’re looking for the best people to keep us striding in the right direction.

Could you be an FEL Trustee?

We are seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help shape FEL’s long-term direction.

If you care about community-led climate action, can think strategically, and are willing to offer constructive challenge and support, this could be a meaningful role for you.

We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Digital and technology
• Impact and evaluation
• Finance
• HR and organisational development
• Community sports, education or youth engagement
• Community or sustainable energy
• Equality, diversity and inclusion

However, we welcome interest from people of all backgrounds. Different perspectives strengthen our governance, and your experience may be exactly what we need.

We are especially keen to diversify our Board in terms of age, background and lived experience. We encourage applications from younger people, individuals from ethnic minority communities, and anyone who has participated in or benefited from FEL’s work.

Previous Board experience is not essential. We provide induction, mentoring and ongoing support to help you contribute with confidence.

FEL is a registered charity committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we actively encourage applications from all sections of the community.

What’s involved?

FEL Trustees play an important role in setting our strategic goals and in making sure we have the structure and resources to achieve them. They promote and represent our vision, mission and values. They agree the policies and procedures through which we work and offer support and advice to the FEL board, staff and volunteers. They make sure we’re monitoring and reporting on what we do correctly, that we comply with regulations, meet our legal obligations and manage our finances properly.

Above all, our Trustees use their skills, knowledge and experience to help our Board make the right decisions that will keep us changing our world for the better. Project by project.

Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.

We lead the Cosy Kingdom partnership, a free and impartial energy advice service available to all tenants and homeowners across Fife. We help people save energy, stay warm while spending less on fuel and develop skills and confidence to take more control of their energy use and bills. Our work plays a vital role supporting people in, or at risk of, fuel poverty and makes an important contribution to tackling carbon emissions and climate change.

The Role

We are looking for an energy advisor to join our team.

This role sits alongside a team of dedicated energy advisors working throughout Mid and West Fife. Your day will be varied and rewarding. You will deliver energy advice to householders in their own homes, by telephone or at drop-in energy advice surgeries. You will deliver practical advice and support to help people stay warm and well at home, empower them to take control of their energy bills and make their homes more climate friendly. You will connect people with the right support by referring on to a range of support options and partner agencies.

Our energy advisors deliver events, talks and workshops to raise the profile of the service and educate people on saving energy. You will also train frontline workers on how to ‘spot and refer’ people in, or at risk of, fuel poverty.

We don’t expect you to know everything from the start. We provide a supportive three-month induction and full training, including a City & Guilds Energy Advice qualification.

Working at Greener Kirkcaldy

We want our town to be a good place to live and work. We believe in a future where everyone has a say in what happens locally, people are working together to protect our environment and those in hardship are supported to live well. That includes our staff and volunteers.

Working at Greener Kirkcaldy involves being part of a positive, collaborative and social team. Our culture is really important to us. We promote equality, diversity and openness. We have a strong focus on staff wellbeing and development and encourage staff initiative and ideas.

Benefits of working for Greener Kirkcaldy

• Flexible and hybrid working
• Enhanced maternity, paternity and sick pay
• Excellent Wellbeing, training and development opportunities
• Generous annual leave: 33 days, inclusive of public holidays per annum pro rata, going up to 37 days after 5 years service. Plus, an additional 5 days of annual leave (pro rata) over the Christmas period

Diversity and inclusion

We want Greener Kirkcaldy to be an inclusive and diverse charity where everyone feels supported, valued and able to be themselves. We take part in Fife Centre for Equalities’ Equality Pathfinders programme. We also take part in the Race Equality Environmental Programme facilitated by CEMVO Scotland. Our Equalities Action Plan sets out the steps we are taking to improve diversity and inclusion.

To achieve our vision of Kirkcaldy as a greener and fairer place to live, we need a diverse team. We encourage applications from people of any background. We know that our sector particularly lacks staff and volunteers with Minority Ethnic backgrounds and disabled people. If you identify as Minority Ethnic or have a disability, we welcome your application.
