Help us shape the next chapter for Kinloch Historical Society

Kinloch Historical Society is looking for an ambitious, practical and community-minded Business Development Manager to help us build a strong and sustainable future for our Society and Kinloch Community Hub.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in developing new income streams, increasing use of our facilities, growing our visitor and tourism offer, developing partnerships and helping us realise the potential of our unique heritage and archive.

Working closely with our Board, community, volunteers and external partners, you will develop and implement a Growth Plan designed to strengthen the Society's long-term financial and organisational sustainability while delivering meaningful benefits for the Kinloch community.

The opportunity

Over the next three years, we want to:

• increase earned income and reduce our reliance on grant funding;
• develop and market Kinloch Community Hub and its facilities;
• increase visitor numbers and build relationships with tour and cruise operators;
• explore new ways of sharing and generating income from our extensive archive;
• develop partnerships with universities, schools and other organisations;
• increase community participation and opportunities for people of all ages;
• develop our café and facilities as a sustainable year-round offer; and
• identify new opportunities that will strengthen the Society beyond 2029.

We are looking for someone who can combine commercial thinking with community purpose – someone who can spot an opportunity, build the relationships needed to develop it and then turn a good idea into practical action.

About You

• You will have experience in business development, enterprise, organisational development or a comparable field, together with an understanding of business planning, budgeting and income generation.
• You will be an excellent communicator and relationship builder, comfortable working with everyone from local residents and volunteers to tourism businesses, universities, public agencies and potential commercial partners.

Alongside direct 1:1, outreach and group support, you’ll be an experienced point of contact for colleagues, providing day-to-day guidance, supervision and support when situations are more complex.

This is a hands-on senior role rather than overall service management, so you’ll remain closely involved in supporting people while helping the wider team deliver high-quality, person-centred support.

What you’ll bring

• Experience delivering structured 1:1 support and contributing to personal support plans.

• Strong communication, relationship-building and professional judgement.

• An understanding of risk, safeguarding and safe decision-making.

• A trauma-informed, person-centred and strengths-based approach.

• An SVQ Level 3 in Social Services and Healthcare (Adults), equivalent qualification, or willingness to work towards one if required.

• SSSC registration, or willingness to register within six months.

Experience supporting or supervising colleagues, facilitating groups, or working within a registered service would be particularly welcome.

Introduction

Start Up Stirling is looking for a sessional counsellor to join our established community counselling service in Callander, delivered as part of a rural community hub.

The hub brings a range of services together in an accessible community setting, including the foodbank, Citizens Advice and a regular community lunch. Our counselling service has been running successfully for nearly two years and provides flexible emotional and psychological support to people who might otherwise experience barriers to accessing counselling.

About the role

Counselling is offered on a flexible, open-ended basis, rather than as a fixed number of sessions. The service combines pre-arranged appointments with opportunities for drop-in support, allowing the counsellor to respond to the needs and circumstances of individual clients.

The role is currently available for up to four hours per week and is paid at £35 per hour, plus agreed travel expenses.

This could particularly suit a counsellor seeking to develop their experience, or an established counsellor looking for a small number of additional hours and an opportunity to work within an innovative community-based model.

You will work alongside, and become part of, a welcoming multidisciplinary community hub while retaining appropriate professional boundaries and confidentiality around the counselling relationship.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is BACP registered, or registered with an equivalent recognised professional body
• Holds an appropriate recognised counselling or psychotherapy qualification
• Is able to work independently and maintain appropriate professional, ethical and safeguarding standards
• Is comfortable working flexibly, including with both appointments and drop-in clients
• Has an interest in working with people experiencing poverty, social disadvantage or other barriers to accessing traditional counselling services
• Is able to build relationships with colleagues and other services within a community setting
• Is committed to providing an inclusive, non-judgemental and accessible service

Experience of community-based counselling or working with people experiencing financial hardship would be helpful but is not essential as some training will be provided. We are open to applications from recently qualified practitioners who are interested in developing their practice in this area, provided they have some experience of working independently. All candidates must have appropriate external supervision arrangements in place.

What we offer

This is an opportunity to join an established service which takes a flexible approach to counselling, recognising that different things work for different clients at different times. You will have considerable autonomy in your work while being part of a wider community hub providing practical, social and emotional support.

Hours: Up to 4 hours per week, usually Wednesday, on a 12 month rolling contract.

Rate: £35 per hour

Expenses: Travel costs paid

Location: Callander

Contract: Sessional
