Nith Valley LEAF Trust (NVLT) has an exciting new opportunity for a development officer to transform our volunteer led community trust into a professional, friendly, business orientated thriving organisation generating its own income to service current and future projects.

We want someone to lead this initiative:

Key Aims

• To make NVLT a more Professionally run Organisation.
• To develop more self-generated income for NVLT

NVLT is still run by volunteers with a help of one part time activities coordinator. The Board of Directors is aging and lacks time and skills to manage the range of current and potential new projects. NVLT needs to move to using a more professional skilled work force with volunteer support and the Board concentrating on community oversight. To do this more priority needs to be given to income generating projects, of which NVLT has several, to sustain NVLT long-term and reduce its reliance on grant funding which is time consuming and sporadic. We are good at obtaining grants but success is uncertain

NVLT also need to adopt better financial control with budgeting/cash flow and develop and follow a full strategic plan.
