We are recruiting a Community Development Worker - an exciting new role within our organisation, linked to the North East Culture Collective initiative. The role will support community engagement and development objectives, with a particular focus on exploring the role of creativity and culture in engaging and empowering communities.

You will be a passionate advocate for the work of the organisation and our aim to transform the lives of individuals and communities across North East Scotland.
