We are looking for an exceptional person to join The Gannochy Trust, a registered charity well known for its philanthropy and unique housing provision. Highly motivated, with excellent analytical, administrative and organisational skills, you will be committed to the values and broader aims of the Trust, and making a difference to people’s lives.
The Gannochy Trust was founded in 1937 by A K Bell. Our work today has been developed to support the full realisation of our founder’s visionary philanthropy. We provide affordable housing, manage a range of farms, woodlands and buildings and as an independent funder, manage a grant giving programme of around £4.5 million annually. The work of the Trust is both varied and interesting.
For this role, you will ideally have experience working in grant making or fundraising and/or be able to demonstrate a good understanding of the third sector in Perth and Kinross in particular, with a strong background of process management and administrative delivery. You will work closely to support the Grants Manager to deliver the Trust’s grant making processes and contribute to the review and development of the Grants Strategy. A key part of the role will be providing support to applicants and grantees, contributing to assessment of applications and processing decisions.
In return, we offer excellent terms and conditions including a generous pension scheme and health related benefits, as well as training and learning opportunities. You will be a key contributor to the work of the Trust, supporting the delivery of our strategic and operational plans. This post will be predominately office based with flexible working arrangements available subject to operational requirements.

Ricefield Arts & Cultural Centre is a registered charity and social enterprise for the exploration and promotion of Chinese culture and has an excellent reputation for delivering original and inspiring creative experiences, cultural events and workshops to community groups, public institutions and arts audiences around Scotland.
We are currently looking to appoint a Treasurer to join our small Board. The Treasurer will be responsible for managing all financial matters on behalf of our organisation and will be responsible for ensuring that the organisation has robust financial processes to ensure it meets its legal and constitutional requirements. It will also be the responsibility of the Treasurer to report the financial position at the board meetings. While we encourage and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, we are keen to hear from candidates that have experience of charity financial management or are chartered in a suitable accountancy field.
All Trustees are required to attend monthly board meetings, either at our office located in the heart of Glasgow city centre or via Zoom. In addition, we ask Trustees to attend our annual board development day, important meetings with stakeholders and some events and projects, where possible. As Ricefield Arts is a social enterprise, the role also involves serving as our Board of Directors.
Please note that this is a voluntary role. Neither the Trustees nor Board of Directors receive any remuneration, however, travel expenses incurred in carrying out board duties will be fully reimbursed.
Other than the Treasurer, we also wish to appoint additional Trustee(s) with community engagement or cultural events management experience to serve our Board. Please check our website for more information.
We're looking for a versatile and enthusiastic individual to join our small team. Around half of their time will be spent supporting the smooth facilitation of music sessions and events with children and adults. The other half will be spent supporting the operational side of the organisation, with a particular focus on admin and social media tasks. Whether they’re carrying a keyboard into a room or setting up refreshments, engaging with a quiet participant, keeping track of attendance, or crafting the perfect Instagram reel to showcase our impact, the successful candidate will be an important part of the organisation's overall impact and sustainability, and they will be the first point of contact for the organisation for many of our participants and partners.
Regardless of their former educational or professional experiences and outcomes, we are looking for someone who can learn with direction and guidance, isn’t afraid to ask questions when they are uncertain, and can progress to taking ownership over their schedule and workload over their time with the organisation.
We recognise that the charity and third sector do not always reflect the communities they support. We are committed to creating an inclusive workforce that reflects our local community. Applications from candidates from lower socio-economic backgrounds, those with lived experience of the care system, and Black and racially minoritised individuals are especially welcomed.
