Top job! Co-Head of Regenerative Futures Fund
- Full time
- £51,090
- Remote: Edinburgh
- Closing 7th October 2024
Foundation Scotland puts people at the heart of its work. We rely on the expertise, trust and experience we’ve gained in the last 25 years working with communities, philanthropists and companies all over Scotland.
Our people are passionate experts in bringing lasting, positive change to Scotland’s communities. We take great pride in supporting local projects by taking a personal approach to every meeting and decision. We’re in a unique position to fully understand communities’ needs and fund solutions that will make a difference.
Our work is nationwide. We’re working with different industries, funding various projects from renewables to digital, through to arts and heritage. Our people are always challenged and have an opportunity to learn and grow. In short - no two days are the same. Ultimately, our work is highly rewarding, and the best part is seeing the real impact we can make within Scottish communities. If you share our passion for shaping Scotland’s communities' future, think about joining our team.
Background
Throughout 2023 a wide network of grassroots community organisations, local campaigners, funders, local authority leaders, and facilitators came together around a vision for a new long-term community fund for Edinburgh. After a period of co-design, learning and fundraising the Regenerative Futures Fund is now entering its operational phase.
Role Overview
Foundation Scotland is excited to invite applications for the role of Co-Head of the Regenerative Futures Fund. This innovative, ten-year fund aims to tackle the root causes of poverty and racism while contributing to a just green transition in Edinburgh. We are now recruiting a new Co-Head to work alongside the current Head. The Co-Head roles will collaboratively shape the direction of the fund, with each Co-Head focusing on distinct but complementary areas.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive leader, for the role of Co-Head. This person will lead participation, evaluation, learning, and communications. The Co-Heads will work closely together, and while each has distinct areas of focus, responsibilities will be shaped collaboratively based on their skills and interests.
We are looking for someone with a passion for social justice, particularly at the intersection of poverty, racism, and environmental challenges. We encourage candidates from diverse and nontraditional career paths, including those who have navigated these systemic barriers.
