Strathleven Foundation is a registered charity, established in 2023 by Strathleven Regeneration CIC (SRCIC) to inherit funds generated from the sale of SRCIC’s land assets in the Lomondgate area of Dumbarton. The Foundation re-invests the proceeds of land sales into the community through funding and grant programs.
The trustees are looking for an experienced Administrative Program Coordinator, preferably with a background in the voluntary/charity sector, who can manage existing grant giving in addition to providing full administrative and financial support to the trustees.
There may also be an opportunity to play a co-ordinating role with key stakeholders in upcoming regeneration opportunities in the area.
This role will be home-based with occasional off-site meetings. Priority will be given to candidates who are enthusiastic and committed to making sure the Strathleven Foundation makes a difference to the people and communities within Dumbarton and the Vale of Leven.
