Do you want to make a difference to the communities in and around one of the most scenic parts of Scotland? Do you have the skills and energy to lead Torridon District Community Association (TDCA) and Loch Torridon Community Centre (LTCC) to the next level, supported by an engaged Board of Directors?

This is an exciting opportunity to develop the community centre, diversify its range of activities and increase income. The job is very varied involving both public facings aspects and long term strategic thinking to enhance the community centre and its role as a key hub for the community.

And of course, you will never be far from the sea or mountains and you will be working alongside people who share a passion for the landscape, environment and long-term sustainability of the community. If successful and you need to relocate, we would engage with the community to help you find accommodation.

Vision

Our vision is to enhance, develop and support this fragile rural community, enabling its residents to thrive, and to create a welcoming environment for the many tourists whose presence in turn supports the ongoing sustainability of the community.

Background

TDCA is a charity which runs Loch Torridon Community Centre and employs a part time centre manager, a part time finance officer and a part time cleaner. In addition, TDCA employs a full-time community development worker to develop community projects and assets which in time will generate income to support the community centre. TDCA also employs a part time resilience officer to improve the resilience of the local community.

LTCC is a hub for year-round social activities and events, promoting physical and mental health and wellbeing. It is a meeting point for the community and provides employment opportunities for local residents and space for services such as the Post Office, community cinema, live music, osteopathy clinics, gym and other health activities. The café is an important part of the centre, bringing together both residents and visitors, while the art and craft gallery provides locals artists and community businesses the opportunity to exhibit and display their products, generating sales, particularly in the tourist season.

Purpose of the post

As the centre has grown from a small village hall to a busy hub for the whole of the Torridon district, the staffing requirements have also grown and we are now looking for a senior manager to lead the smooth running of the Community Centre; to promote the use of the Centre more widely; to increase TDCA revenue and capital grants; and to ensure the continued success of the annual Celtman event. The Board of Directors has been directly involved in many aspects of running the centre and now needs to appoint someone to take over that work, freeing Directors up to focus on their wider remit while supporting the operations & events manager as s/he develops into the role. Beyond the centre TDCA is working on a number of additional projects which will, as the organisation grows further, become part of this new role.
