TACT is looking for one exceptional and experienced individual to become a member of the team.
Third Sector Organisations (TSOs) across North Ayrshire are operating in an increasingly challenging environment, with rising demand, limited resources, and growing strategic responsibilities. Alongside this, a new community-led consortia programme is being established to reduce child poverty through coordinated, person-centred support. To help the sector respond collectively and effectively, the Strategic Support Officer will act as both a shared strategic resource and the central coordinating role within this partnership.
The postholder will strengthen strategic capacity across participating organisations, enable more efficient cross-organisation collaboration, coordinate shared initiatives, and ensure the third sector’s collective voice is clearly represented in local decision-making. Working directly with Chief Officers and frontline delivery leads, the postholder will help translate shared learning into stronger pathways, reduced duplication, and a more joined-up experience for the families and communities we serve.
