Project Summary:

Dunblane Square has been established with the main aim of developing and operating a multi-functional arts, tourism, hospitality and community centre – The Bank.

Through a grant from the Government's Community Ownership Fund, a vacant ex-bank building in Dunblane town centre has been acquired by the community and grant money has been secured for the first phase of the development.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us to lead on planning for and managing operating The Bank, which will provide a much-needed central social arts area space for members of the community and visitors alike to visit and socialise. We will host a community cinema, music, talks, tourist information and different food events creating employment and volunteering opportunities focusing on young people.

Project Stage:

The project was launched in Nov 2022, and Dunblane Square was formalised in July 2023. We have developed links with community organisations and letters of support from local politicians and organisations. We have undertaken a community-led approach, gathering feedback and ideas for how The Bank should be run. This was developed into a detailed design which has gone through planning. We are currently undergoing the tender for the first phase of two for the building works, and the venue is planned to be operational in November. There is more information about the project on our website: thebankdunblane.org.

Job Summary:

The Community Venture Project Lead will be responsible for engaging the community, defining, and delivering a comprehensive community project that includes a hospitality offering, cinema, and music programme in a community-owned building currently under development. This role requires a dynamic individual with strong leadership, project management, and community engagement skills and has experience in Arts and running a multi-use community Centre with Commercial experience. Note, the development/construction is being overseen by others, but there will be an element of coordination. No experience in construction is required.

Could you help us continue to bring quality live music to the under-served Borders region? Would you like to play a key leadership role in supporting the future of a world-class chamber music festival?

We are currently open to applications for a Chair to lead our Board of Trustees when our current Chair stands down in October. Previous governance experience is less essential than a passion for the Arts. We are especially keen to hear from those with a connection to the Scottish Borders/Northumberland. See attached document full details.
