GSC Auldhouse is seeking an ambitious and enterprising General Manager to lead the next stage of our development.
Based at the home of Giffnock Soccer Centre — Scotland’s largest grassroots football club, with more than 1,400 players and 200 volunteer coaches — GSC Auldhouse is a charity with a clear purpose: to harness the power of football and our outstanding facilities to create opportunities for people and communities across Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
With £1.3 million invested in the development of our GSC Auldhouse base, and successful community programmes already supporting children, families, women and people who are new to Scotland, the foundations are firmly in place. We now need an inspiring, commercially minded leader who can turn that potential into sustainable growth.
Working closely with our Board, the General Manager will shape and deliver our social-outreach strategy, develop new funding and commercial partnerships, maximise income from our facilities and oversee the continued development of the Giffnock Soccer Centre Academy.
This is a rare opportunity to combine strategic leadership with hands-on delivery — helping to establish GSC Auldhouse as grassroots football’s leading provider of sport, health, inclusion and employability programmes.
Could you help us shape what's next?
OutLET is a Lanarkshire-based charity and social enterprise using nature to support emotional wellbeing, confidence and resilience. We deliver therapeutic forest school projects, community play and wellbeing programmes, and training for practitioners up to Forest School Leader level.
We've built a strong reputation for doing things differently, developed innovative programmes and training, built trusted relationships with partners and funders and, perhaps most importantly, assembled an experienced, committed and stable team who genuinely care about what they do.
Now we're ready for the next chapter.
We're looking for an innovative, strategic and big-picture thinker to become our new CEO and help us explore just how far OutLET could go.
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to maintain the status quo. We're looking for someone who sees possibilities where others see barriers; who can spot opportunities, bring people with them and turn good ideas into practical action.
The Role
As CEO, you'll work closely with our Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team to lead OutLET's strategic direction, organisational development and long-term sustainability.
You'll help us identify opportunities for growth, innovation and expansion — whether that's through new partnerships, income streams, areas of work or ways of working.
We already have people who know how to deliver. We need someone who can help us think about where we go next.
You'll provide strategic oversight without being expected to do everything yourself. Our experienced Senior Leadership Team and established staff teams bring considerable knowledge and expertise. Your role will be to bring those strengths together, create space for good ideas and turn ambition into action.
You'll also lead on governance, organisational sustainability, people and culture, marketing and communications, and representing OutLET with partners, funders and stakeholders.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for someone who is:
- Innovative - curious, creative and willing to challenge conventional thinking.
- Strategic - able to see the bigger picture and turn vision into action.
- Entrepreneurial - able to spot opportunities and explore new approaches.
- Collaborative - able to bring people together and get the best from a team.
- Authentic - leads with honesty, openness and integrity.
- People-focused - understands that great organisations are built around people who feel valued and supported.
You don't need to be an outdoor learning expert - our team already has that expertise. What we need is the leadership, curiosity and imagination to help us make the most of it.
*This post is subject to membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and satisfactory PVG Scheme Record/Update. The successful candidate will be required to undergo the appropriate Disclosure Scotland vetting checks prior to appointment.*
Why OutLET?
You'll be joining an organisation with:
- A strong reputation - established, trusted and known for doing things differently.
- An experienced and stable team - people with deep knowledge, expertise and commitment.
- Real potential for growth - exciting opportunities to develop our work, reach more people and explore new possibilities.
- Space to innovate - we're open to new ideas and different ways of working.
- A family-first approach - we recognise that people have lives outside work.
- Flexible working - we're open to discussing hours and working patterns with the right person.

Help us turn 110 years of heritage into opportunities for the future.
The Scottish Women's Institutes has been bringing women together to learn, share skills, build friendships and strengthen communities since 1917.
As we enter an exciting new chapter, we're looking for a Head of Business Development to help us grow our income, partnerships, reach and impact. This is a newly created role and a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys spotting opportunities and turning good ideas into sustainable activity.
Working directly with our Chief Executive and alongside our small national team, you'll lead the development of new income through fundraising, grants, sponsorship, corporate partnerships, philanthropic giving and commercial opportunities.
You'll build relationships with funders, businesses and organisations across Scotland; develop compelling funding and partnership proposals; create new sponsorship opportunities; and explore new ways in which SWI's brand, programmes, skills, heritage and national network can generate income and impact.
We're looking for someone who can:
- identify and develop new income opportunities;
- build a strong pipeline of funders, sponsors and partners;
- write compelling funding applications and partnership proposals;
- develop trusted relationships with businesses, funders and stakeholders;
- think commercially while understanding the values and purpose of a charity;
- spot opportunities for new products, partnerships and collaborations; and
- take an idea from an initial conversation through to a successful, deliverable project.
You don't necessarily need to have done all of these things in one job. You might currently work in fundraising, partnerships, business development, sponsorship, income generation or another role where building relationships and creating opportunities is central to what you do.
What matters is that you are proactive, commercially aware, a strong relationship-builder and excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of one of Scotland's most established membership organisations.
You'll be joining SWI at a particularly exciting time as we implement our new strategy and build on the opportunities created by our 110th anniversary.

INCH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION: Scottish Land Fund (SLF) Stage 1 Project
Inch House Community Asset Transfer Feasibility Study
INVITATION TO QUOTE: Specialist Architectural / Business Advisers
Background
Inch House Community Centre, based at Inch House, is owned by the City of Edinburgh Council and operated by Inch Community Association (ICA), a fully constituted two-tier SCIO (SC049401). Unusually for a community centre, Inch House is also a Category A listed building comprising a historic 16th century Tower House with notable Georgian and Victorian extensions. Inch House has been a council-owned community centre for nearly 40 years and the building fabric has suffered from underinvestment over this period.
Inch House is of great significance to local residents and numerous community groups, given its rich history and heritage, its role as an adult learning centre, and hub for many community, arts, cultural, wellbeing and environmental organisations and activities. Under a current grant from the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF), ICA is assessing future viable options for much needed refurbishment of Inch House; it has also been investing its own resources in a programme of restoration and improvement of its rooms and internal spaces (many of which are empty) to make these available for external / community users.
Inch House – Community Asset Transfer preparation
As part of a wider project to secure a long-term sustainable future for Inch House, we are considering all options, including the potential acquisition of Inch House for community ownership through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process, working with the City of Edinburgh Council and other stakeholders to develop a viable and sustainable long-term community ownership and management solution that safeguards the future of Inch House.
In order to inform this potential long-term solution, ICA is currently preparing to submit an application to the Scottish Land Fund to secure the necessary ‘Stage 1’ funding to assess the feasibility of developing a CAT solution for Inch House and to prepare the ground for this.
Our application to SLF will be submitted on 02 October and we anticipate a response to our application by mid-November. The likely fee value of this work is £28,000 (including VAT) to be carried out between mid-November 2026 and mid-March 2027.
Invitation to Quote – Specialist Advisers
ICA is now seeking to commission specialist architectural and business consultants with the relevant knowledge and expertise to deliver this project on our behalf. Details of the scope of work, project timeframe and the assessment criteria for advisers, are set out in the attached. NOTE proposals and quotations from qualified and experienced advisers are sought for this work by 3pm, Monday 12 October.

Falkirk Football Community Foundation is recruiting a Centre Circle Project Lead and a Family Support Coach to help establish our new whole family support programme.
We are looking for people who care about getting support right for families. People who listen without judgement, build trust and follow through with practical help.
Following a successful award from the Whole Family Support Third Sector Delivery Fund, we are joining four other football community charities across Scotland to deliver Centre Circle. Together, we will help families access practical, financial and wellbeing support earlier and more easily.
Here in Falkirk, you will have the opportunity to shape that support from the outset, working alongside families and drawing on the Foundation’s programmes, community connections and local partnerships.
You will work directly with families, helping them identify their priorities and take practical steps towards their own goals. We are looking for someone who can build relationships, support people through difficult circumstances and help them access the services and opportunities they need.
THIS IS NOT NOT A FOOTBALL COACHING ROLE.
