Glengarry Community Development Trust is a community-led charity that manages land for the benefit of local people and visitors. The organisation works on a range of projects that are all designed to address local needs and which deliver the Glengarry Community Action Plan (2025-30).
In 2023 we began constructing six off-grid forest cabins to create sustainable income to support the Development Trust’s community and environmental objectives. We have now reached the exciting stage of opening the business, scheduled for spring 2026.
We are looking for an experienced Finance Manager who will have responsibility for overseeing day to day financial operations across all aspects of the organisation. This will include, but is not limited to: developing budgets, forecasting and projections, bookkeeping, day to day finance tasks, and maintaining management accounts. The post holder will report to the Development Manager.
