About East Ayrshire Citizens Advice Bureau

East Ayrshire Citizens Advice Bureau is an independent charity providing free, confidential and impartial advice to people across East Ayrshire. We support thousands of local residents every year with issues including debt, benefits, housing, employment and consumer problems.

As demand for advice continues to grow, the Bureau is entering a new phase of development. We are seeking a Business Development Manager to play a key role in strengthening the organisation’s financial sustainability and supporting the strategic development of our services.

Purpose of the Role

The Business Development Manager will lead on identifying, securing and developing funding opportunities to support the Bureau’s work. This will include building relationships with funders, developing compelling funding proposals and creating a clear and sustainable funding strategy for the organisation.

Working closely with the Chief Executive and Board, the postholder will also support the wider development of the Bureau as a resilient and forward-looking organisation, identifying opportunities for service growth, partnership working and innovation within the advice sector.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking with practical delivery and who is motivated by strengthening services that make a real difference to people’s lives.

As required you will support Senior Officer with day-to-day case management to scope out incoming referrals and allocate to the mediators, liaise with parents/carers and local authority representatives, and ensure that all data trackers are kept up to date.

North Glasgow Community Food Initiative (NGCFI) is entering a significant phase of organisational development, with access to a new community-owned building, a long-term lease of Milton Community Garden, and the launch of a community food truck in early 2026.

Colleges Scotland is the collective voice for the college sector, and as the membership body, represents the 24 colleges in Scotland, which deliver both further education and around 20% of the provision of all higher education in Scotland.

The 24 colleges operate in 13 regions across Scotland, allowing them to plan nationally and regionally, as well as deliver locally.

Colleges Scotland’s primary role is to support colleges and the regional strategic body in achieving their aims and objectives, and to cultivate the strength of the college sector in Scotland. This is achieved through advocating and campaigning on behalf of the college sector, co-ordinating sector-wide engagement on major issues, policy development, and maintaining strong and proactive relationships with government, sector agencies and industry bodies. Colleges Scotland is driving new business development opportunities to increase benefits to its members.

College Employers Scotland is a committee of the Colleges Scotland board and has delegated decision making responsibilities on all matters related to National Bargaining.

The Role of the Chair

The Chair provides inclusive leadership to the Board of Trustees, ensuring the effective governance of the charity and that Colleges Scotland is accountable to its members.

The Chair will also support and, where appropriate, challenge the Chief Executive Officer and ensure that the Board functions effectively as a unit and works closely with the entire Executive of the charity to achieve agreed objectives.

The Role of the Trustee

As a Trustee, you will be responsible for overseeing the strategic direction and effective operation of Colleges Scotland as an organisation, rather than matters related to the college sector more broadly, and ensuring that we meet our charitable objectives and comply with our legal obligations.
