Make a national impact. Lead with purpose.
Are you passionate about equality, inclusion and creating real opportunities for people to thrive in work?
This is a rare opportunity to lead the Scottish Union of Supported Employment (SUSE) — the national voice for supported employment in Scotland — at a pivotal moment for the sector.
About SUSE
SUSE is the umbrella organisation for public, private and voluntary bodies working in supported employment and social inclusion. We champion the right of disabled people and people with long term health conditions to access real jobs, for real pay, with the right support.
Working alongside our members, partners, employers and policy makers, we:
• promote quality and consistency in supported employment
• pioneer new approaches and challenge assumptions

We’re particularly keen to hear from people who:
• share SUSE’s commitment to equality, inclusion and social justice
• are confident leading small organisations with national influence

- Hybrid: Primarily East Lammermuir / Dunbar area, with some remote working
- Closing 19th April 2026
As part of the next phase of our Rivers Project, we are recruiting for a Catchment Restoration Development Officer.
Background
Sustaining Dunbar, in partnership with Forth Rivers Trust (FRT), has secured development phase funding to prepare detailed, shovel-ready nature restoration plans for the Dry Burn and Spott Burn catchments in East Lammermuir. This project is part of a wider, long-term ambition to deliver landscape-scale nature recovery across East Lammermuir from summit to sea.
The development phase will identify and design a portfolio of restoration interventions — riparian tree planting, natural flood management measures, habitat connectivity improvements, and invasive species control — working across approximately 22 landholdings in the two catchments. The technical design work will be led by FRT. The role of this post is to make that technical work possible: by building the relationships with landowners and land managers that underpin it, and by coordinating the programme so that individual work packages fit together coherently across land boundaries.
Purpose of the Role
To coordinate this next phase of the project and act as the primary point of contact for landowners and land managers across the Dry Burn and Spott Burn catchments, building the trust and relationships necessary to develop coherent, spatially connected restoration work packages, and to coordinate these with Forth Rivers Trust so as to develop a portfolio of credible and fundable habitat enhancement and restoration projects.

• Adapt organisational priorities for Scotland and ensure effective delivery through strong planning and performance oversight.
• Lead and develop the Scotland team, addressing capacity needs and building volunteer capability to meet local priorities.
• Strengthen partnerships across the stroke community to improve access to support and tackle health inequalities.
