We are hiring a Dundee Community Organiser

Living Rent is continuing to build membership and power across Scotland. And just now, we are hiring a community organiser in Dundee. This post aims to support members to build power in their community and win real changes locally and nationally. You will be working with the organisers across Scotland to build and support branches of Living Rent in Dundee.

Living Rent has gone from strength to strength in recent years and we continue to build power in communities up and down our country. We hope you will consider joining our growing team!

Living Rent is hiring a full-time community organiser to support members organise in their neighbourhoods to challenge the issues they face and to fight for better housing and a system that works for the common good. The role entails outreach (stalls, door knocking), recruiting members, and supporting members to organise meetings, take responsibilities locally, build democratic neighbourhood branches and take part in city-wide and national structures.

This post will specifically focus on targeting areas that are vulnerable to flooding, supporting people in those areas to organise around issues that they care about and learn about climate change and how to ensure that our homes and neighbourhoods are more prepared for its impacts.

The organiser will support members to research their issues, select relevant campaigns, define achievable wins , organise direct actions and support members in negotiations with relevant targets including private/ social landlords, private companies, the local municipality. You will aim to recruit members and support them to build power across Scotland.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about building real people power and excited about the chance to work for a young, diverse and member-run organisation. Experience in recruitment, training delivery, community education or campaigns is welcome; however enthusiasm, willingness to learn and commitment to social justice are more important than previous experience as training will be provided. This role may suit someone with experience in sales, street fundraising or other customer/public facing work, who wishes to move into organising.

This post is accountable to Living Rent’s democratic structures and line managed by Living Rent’s Wider Scotland Head Organiser. Living Rent staff members primarily work Monday - Friday between 11am and 7pm, though the work will sometimes need to be done at other times of day, along with some weekends. Some unsocial hours are inevitable and flexibility is vital.

This role is funded through the Climate Fund of the National Lottery.

We are a Living Wage employer. Support for the professional development and training of our staff members is a priority for Living Rent and we invest considerable time and resources to achieve this. We are committed to supporting all of our staff members to grow and learn through their role and to implement reasonable adjustments.

Living Rent is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.

Who we are

Signpost International works to eradicate poverty and suffering in all forms. We partner with local organisations and communities globally to deliver sustainable, community-led programmes based on expressed needs, regardless of race or religion. Our work focuses on four key areas: food security, sustainable livelihoods, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), and global citizenship.

In Dundee, we tackle food waste and insecurity by turning surplus food into meals—over 44,000 since 2021—distributed via foodbanks and larders. We run growing and cooking workshops to help children and community groups build skills and confidence, and provide food and activities during school holidays. We are also finalising our Centre for Sustainable Learning in Dundee to educate and inspire future generations to tackle poverty, challenge injustice, and protect the environment.

The role

This is an exciting new initiative creating real opportunities for young people in Dundee. The project offers a chance to learn and develop food and hospitality skills in a real-life café setting, while contributing to a more sustainable and connected community.

At The Roundhouse, we take surplus food from local farms, allotments, and supermarkets to create community meals that go back into the community through local larders and food banks. We are committed to working with the community to build a sustainable, inclusive, and affordable café that not only supports young people seeking alternative career pathways but also helps reduce food waste and strengthens local engagement.

We’re looking for a creative, organised, and community-minded Café Supervisor and hospitality trainer to lead our community café and support local teens in developing real-world hospitality skills. This unique role combines hands-on café management with youth mentoring and training.

You’ll oversee the day-to-day running of the café, work alongside young people as they gain experience in customer service, food preparation, and teamwork, and help shape a supportive learning environment that builds confidence and employability. You’ll be an enthusiastic and driven individual who enjoys working with young people and sharing your passion for food and hospitality. You’ll be organised, adaptable, and able to balance the dual responsibilities of running a café and supporting a learning environment.

Action Against Stalking (AAS), founded in 2014 by Dr Ann Moulds, is Scotland’s only charity dedicated solely to supporting people affected by stalking.

This is a particularly exciting moment to join AAS. With newly secured funding, we are expanding our reach and ensuring our information, advice, and services are accessible to everyone across Scotland’s diverse communities.

We are looking for a highly motivated individual who is passionate about our mission and shares our commitment to championing the rights and wellbeing of all victims of stalking. You will bring experience working with vibrant, diverse communities and a strong track record of promoting equality, equity, diversity, and inclusion in your work. Fluency in a community language would be a valuable asset.
