The Larick Centre is Tayport’s first purpose-built community centre. It comprises a large sports hall, small meeting room, and two further rooms which can be booked for a variety of purposes.

The Larick Centre has been funded through charitable donations and grants, however as funding streams reduce, the centre must become more self-sustaining by generating its own income. Tayport Community Trust was established in 2008 to develop and support projects and activities that contribute to a vibrant and sustainable local community.

Tayport Community Trust (TCT) operates alongside its commercial arm, Tayport Community Enterprise (TCE). TCE operates the Larick and Harbour Cafes, and the Larick Campsite. Income generated by TCE supports TCT to provide the community activities of the Larick Centre.

Role purpose

We are looking for someone with the right skills and experience to provide effective leadership, direction and oversight of the Larick Centre and manage its staff, to successfully realise the plans and outcomes set out by the TCT board.

You will have the passion, energy and vision to develop strategies and set targets that ensure the long-term sustainability of this vibrant and award-winning community centre.

Help us grow the Living Wage movement in Scotland!

We’re excited to share an opportunity to join the Living Wage Scotland team at the Poverty Alliance to help us expand our employer engagement activities and increase our impact.

Living Wage Scotland was established in April 2014 by the Poverty Alliance with the aim of increasing the number of employers in Scotland who are recognised for paying their staff the real Living Wage. It is a partnership with Living Wage Foundation, with the Scottish Government as a key funder.

The high-profile campaign has been hugely successful in accrediting more than 3900 Living Wage employers in Scotland, who have delivered pay uplifts to the real Living Wage to more than 70,000 workers. Almost £600 million in extra wages has gone to low-paid workers in Scotland since the campaign began.

The Living Wage Projects Officer will play a crucial role in retaining and growing the number of Living Wage accredited employers in Scotland and supporting the growth of additional accreditation schemes that support fair work: namely Living Hours and Living Pension accreditation.

We are seeking someone with experience in employer or business engagement with excellent communication and persuasion skills, and a proactive approach to collaboration. The Living Wage Projects Officer will work in a small team to engage with employers in a range of sectors and industries across Scotland to recognise the social value and business benefits of our accreditation schemes. Some travel is required to attend or deliver events, or to meet employers in person where needed.
