Background

In 1999 Badenoch and Strathspey Community Transport Company was created by and for the people of this area to provide accessible transport. In 2022, recognising that, through our transport provision, we were providing a wider range of services, we rebranded and changed our name. More recently, we have refreshed our purpose, vision and mission.

Our purpose is to strengthen our community by providing accessible transport and wellbeing opportunities. Our work is regularly recognised at a national level, most recently in June 2025 at the Scottish Transport Awards. The organisation is growing and developing at pace, with further opportunities in the years ahead, so it is an exciting time to get involved and help shape our development. There will be several staff retirements during 2026 so a key part of this role will involve managing a successful handover with the outgoing member of staff.

BSCC is supported by eight part time staff and circa 80 volunteers, who all care passionately about our community.

Main Purpose of the Job:

The Finance Manager has two main roles: -

• Responsible for managing and ensuring the smooth running of financial processes, procedures, and bookkeeping for BSCC.
• Support the wider day to day running of the organisation.

Join our Board of Trustees at Space @ The Broomhouse Hub.

At Space, we believe in creating opportunities that bring people together, build confidence, and strengthen our community. Across more than 20 projects, we support people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, work, connect and thrive. From our community café and kitchen training programmes, to youth work, employability, carers support, and wellbeing services — everything we do aims to make life better in Broomhouse and beyond.

Our Mission

To build a thriving, inclusive and resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to reach their potential.

Our Values

• Respect: Welcome and listen without judgment.
• Integrity: Deliver value-based work with kindness and consistency.
• Collaboration: Connect with people and partners.
• Creativity: Take an innovative approach to resolve social challenges.
• Empowerment: Nurture talent and encourage self-development.

Why join us now?

It’s a really exciting time to become a Trustee. We’re currently delivering our 2024–2027 Strategy, focused on strengthening our community impact, growing sustainable enterprises, and supporting our brilliant team to make lasting change.

You’ll join a passionate, skilled and supportive board helping guide the next chapter of Space’s story.

The Role of a Trustee

Our Trustees play a vital role in three key areas: Strategy, Governance and Risk Management.

You’ll work with the leadership team as a critical friend — supporting, questioning, and inspiring us to stay true to our mission while continuing to innovate and grow.

Each trustee also “adopts” one of our services or projects, acting as a link between the Board and front line staff. This helps Trustees stay connected to the people and communities we serve, and brings valuable insight back to board discussions.

Trustees with specific professional experience engage in one of our four subgroups – Finance, Governance, People, Enterprise.

Right now we’re particularly keen to add to the existing financial skills of our Board, ideally welcoming someone with Management Accounting expertise, especially within SMEs or social enterprises. Someone with experience of being a charity treasurer would be highly beneficial.

That said, we’d love to hear from anyone who shares our values and brings experience in areas like fundraising, communications, enterprise, wellbeing, or facilities management.

Do I have to live in Edinburgh?

Not at all! We welcome applications from potential Trustees living anywhere. However, there is a requirement to attend an in-person Board meeting in Edinburgh once every two months. Attendance online can be arranged under special circumstances.

Our Trustees fall into two categories:

• Local Trustees: People living in South West Edinburgh, or within three miles of EH11 3RH.
• Business Trustees: People who do not live locally who join the Board to offer specific skills, expertise or professional experience.

Your Commitment

We truly value your time and experience, and we keep the commitment meaningful but manageable:

• Board meeting every two months in Edinburgh (2hrs in person)
• Sub-group meeting every three months (60-90 mins online)
• Annual General Meeting in Edinburgh (90mins in person)
• One Trustee Strategy Building Day per year (5-6hrs in person

Trustee Induction & Training

We provide a comprehensive induction and ongoing training programme to support all trustees in their role. This includes sessions on our governance structure, key policies, finance & budgeting, health & safety, safeguarding, and an overview of our current projects and strategic priorities.

Trustees also take part in regular development sessions throughout the year.

All new trustees have the option to be buddied up with an existing trustee while they find their feet.

Remuneration/Expenses

This is an unpaid role, however reasonable expenses associated with the role may be reimbursed.

Sound like something you’d be interested in?

If you share our values, believe in community-led change, and want to make a real difference — we’d love to hear from you.
