Live Borders is a charitable trust at the heart of the Scottish Borders, delivering sport and leisure, libraries, museums, arts, events and community programmes that make a real difference to people's lives. Every penny we generate is reinvested into our services and communities. We're on an exciting journey right now - new leadership, a new strategy about to launch, and a genuine ambition to grow our reach and impact across one of Scotland's most distinctive regions.

We're looking for a Marketing Insight Officer to help us become a more evidence-led, customer-focused organisation. This is a new kind of role for Live Borders - and a genuinely interesting one.

You'll gather and interpret data from a range of sources to build a clear picture of who our communities are, what they need, and how well we're serving them. You'll lead on customer satisfaction measurement, develop audience profiles and segmentation, and monitor trends in fitness, leisure and culture to help colleagues understand how our offer should evolve. Crucially, you'll bring that evidence to the table when services are being planned, reviewed or developed - acting as a collaborative partner who helps colleagues make more informed, customer-led decisions. The Scottish Borders is a varied and distinctive geography, and understanding its communities in depth will be central to what you do.

This post sits within our newly formed Engagement team, alongside colleagues in marketing and communications, fundraising, community engagement and customer excellence. We're building something new, and there's genuine scope to shape how insight works at Live Borders.

What we're looking for

You'll have experience in a marketing role with a focus on insight, data analysis or audience research. You'll be confident working with data from multiple sources and translating findings into clear, practical recommendations for non-technical audiences. Strong collaborative skills matter as much as analytical ones here - this role is as much about influencing colleagues as it is about crunching numbers.

We know it's not always possible to tick every box. If you have the core skills and experience and you're excited by what you've read, we'd encourage you to apply.

What we offer

• A strong flexible working structure (for this role a typical week could look like one day in the office, but as it’s part time we’re very open to a conversation about this)
• 30 days annual leave plus 4 public holidays (pro rata)
• Free Live Borders gym and pool membership
• Free entry to our attractions

We're looking for a Digital Marketing Officer to take the lead on digital marketing across the organisation. This is a broad, hands-on role with real scope to make your mark.

You'll be the go-to person for everything digital - owning the website and app, leading on social media, managing paid advertising across Google and Meta, and acting as the team's lead for our CRM and e-communications. You'll also be our AI champion, helping the team identify and adopt tools that improve how we work.

The breadth of what Live Borders does means your work will span an unusually wide range of audiences, services and channels - from fitness campaigns to cultural events and everything in between. No two weeks look the same!

This post sits within our newly formed Engagement team, bringing together marketing and communications, fundraising, community engagement, insight and customer excellence. It's a new way of working for us, and we want people who'll help shape what good looks like.

What we're looking for

You'll have solid experience in a marketing role with a strong digital focus - social media, paid advertising, CRM, website management and analytics. You'll be confident using data to make decisions and comfortable advising colleagues on digital. Familiarity with AI tools and an understanding of brand management and audience segmentation would be a real plus.

You'll also line manage our Marketing Co-ordinator, so some experience of supporting or supervising others is helpful, though not essential.

We know it's not always possible to tick every box. If you have the core skills and experience and you're excited by what you've read, we'd encourage you to apply.

What we offer

• A strong flexible working structure (a typical week for our team has 3 days in the office, 2 working from home, with flexible start and finish times)
• 30 days annual leave plus 4 public holidays
• Free Live Borders gym and pool membership
• Free entry to our attractions

The Role

As Project Coordinator, you will play a key role in the day-to-day delivery of our befriending service. You will recruit, train, and support volunteers, manage a caseload of young people and befriending matches, and work collaboratively with families, referrers, and partner agencies.

Columcille are recruiting a 1-1 Support Worker (female) to support adults with learning disabilities in our day support service. You will provide support in our centre and in the community to several different individuals, on a one-to-one basis.

Columcille provides creative daytime activities to adults with learning disabilities in a social environment that supports relationships, skills development, and physical and emotional wellbeing. We offer different types of creative craft workshops, as well as cooking, performing arts, holistic therapies and support to access community facilities.

This role involves working with a range of individuals with different needs, so we are looking for someone skilled in building relationships with adults with learning disabilities, some of whom have additional support needs. We require an individual able to adapt, with excellent interpersonal skills, able to provide personal care. Experience of supporting adults with learning disabilities is essential.

The role holder will be part of a supportive team, with access to regular support and supervision, training and professional and personal development opportunities. There is a generous annual leave entitlement and competitive salary.

Where the role fits in our organisation

Our Communities and Place team consists of our Community Transport, Employability, Volunteering, Children and Families and Locality teams.

There is significant value to be unlocked within this sector by the addition of development capacity through this role and we are excited about the opportunities for this new team.

A detailed knowledge of Transport or Community Transport is not needed for this role – it is a business support role, and will not involve the direct delivery of any community transport operations. There will be no driving, no logistics planning and no working directly with drivers.

Instead, this role will support Community Transport Operators (CTOs) with the evolution of their Business Plans, grant finding, volunteer recruitment and employability opportunities. You will form great relationships with the CTO Managers, making sure you add real value amongst their daily jobs.

This role would suit someone with experience of working in business support or administration for a third sector organisation and with ambitions to make an even bigger difference to the people of Dumfries and Galloway through a regional role, or a new entrant with the correct skills and approach.

The role will be line managed and supported by the Lead for Community Transport and further supported by the wider TSDG Comms and Business Support teams. We are advertising for the Lead Officer in parallel with this post, so this is an exciting opportunity to join and shape a new regional project in Dumfries and Galloway.

It is principally a 9am – 5pm, 4 day/week role, with very limited evening or weekend working anticipated. The actual work pattern would be discussed at interview but we can offer a high degree of flexibility through our flexi-time policy. A minimum 25% of time would be expected to be in the Dumfries office, 25% out with the CTOs across the region and the rest home-working or in the Dumfries office.

• Be the visible face of TSDG to the Community Transport Operators so that they feel well-supported in their delivery.
• Support CTOs in their development aspirations such as decarbonisation, fleet replacement, governance etc.
• Work with CTOs to ensure that their Business Models are better able to attract grant funding and earned income.
• Work with the TSDG Employability team and CTOs to plan and deliver effective Employability programmes through CTOs.
• Plan and deliver a programme of region-wide volunteer-recruitment to CTOs, in partnership with CTOs to ensure that it matches local need.
• Work with CTOs to gather and evaluate relevant information as per the agreed plan around the impact of their services.
• Support colleagues across TSDG to deliver on our joint outcomes and contribute to effective team working to make TSDG a great place to work.

More about you

• You will have experience of business support or administration, or equivalent Training / Qualifications – this role would suit a new entrant with the right skills and approach.
• You will be able to quickly form excellent working relationships with a wide range of partners.
• You will highlight emerging opportunities to line management, displaying good judgment and a bias for action.
• You will take responsibility for delivery of your own outcomes, and to escalate challenges or concerns in good time.
