Are you passionate about the creative and economic development of Unst? Wild Skies Shetland, a unique and award-winning small charity, is looking to recruit a Project Development Officer to help us take further steps towards long term financial sustainability.

This is a fully funded, fixed-term, part-time (0.6 FTE) contract for 36 months. It can be freelance (£20 per hour), or salaried (£30,500 FTE) for the right candidate. This position could be a job share.

To be successful you will have a flexible approach as the job will develop with you. You are likely to be energetic, imaginative and personable with excellent communications skills. IT skills and budget management experience are essential. It is a very varied role, and therefore applicants with a wide range of previous experience will be considered.

The job will vary day to day. For example, you could be discussing a new sky-themed event with a venue manager and organising catering for it; you may be researching and completing funding applications or guiding visitors around the Sky Trail. There will be other computer-based work too, e.g. developing the ‘Friends of Wild Skies’ database or looking at, interpreting, and reporting on Sky Trail QR code usage stats.

You will occasionally be required to work evenings and/or weekends depending on the activities being offered.

You will be expected to spend a considerable proportion of your time based in Unst, as much of the work will need to be face-to-face. Hybrid working is a possibility if the right arrangements can be mutually agreed.

Wild Skies Shetland, as the Creative Regeneration winner at the SURF Awards in December 2023, is committed to the creative and imaginative economic development of Unst. This is an exciting time to be involved as you can help shape the future.

Wild Skies is committed to being an equal opportunities employer.
