Duncan Place Community Hub are now seeking a Building & Facilites Coordinator; this is a new role working alongside the CEO and our small team of staff. You will be responsible for all planned and reactive maintenance and for compliance with security, health and safety. You will be responsible for high level building maintenance, following guidelines and procedures and, where necessary, you will be working with contractors to plan and organise servicing, maintenance checks and repairs. This is a hands-on role where you use initiative and get stuck in to keep our building running smoothly and presented to a high standard; this includes responding to smaller tasks and urgent issues as they arise, e.g. putting up shelves, unblocking toilets, painting walls & woodwork (including being confident and competent with ladders and heights), litter-picking and generally mucking in with the team to help maintain standards. We are looking for someone who will be proactive in getting tasks completed to a high standard quickly with as little inconvenience to our customers as possible.

You must be motivated, organised, solution focused, hands-on and have excellent record keeping skills. You will be able to supervise and work alongside your team to keep the building well maintained, presented to a high standard, keeping people and resources safe at all times.

We have a wonderful and diverse community of building users and universal acceptance and respect is essential. You are expected to have a degree of flexibility and work with the rest of the team to ensure that all planned and reactive maintenance takes place with the minimum of disruption to tenants and room hirers. Shifts are rota’d in advance, and the weekly hours will include at least one evening per week, at least one weekend day per month and other weekday daytime hours.

Whilst the majority of tasks will be based in Duncan Place Community Hub, occasional hybrid hours are possible.

You are expected to have a degree of flexibility and work with the rest of the team to ensure that all shifts are covered.

Are you passionate about play, and ready to lead the practicalities of delivery?

We are seeking a Team Leader to coordinate and deliver high-quality, self-directed play opportunities across Midlothian. This is a hands-on leadership role, combining practical delivery with day-to-day coordination and line management of a small team.

About Play Midlothian

Play Midlothian is a registered charity (no. SC025474) working to enable every child in Midlothian to thrive through play by creating opportunities, removing barriers and addressing inequalities. We have an office base at the One Dalkeith Business Hub in central Dalkeith, but deliver services throughout Midlothian, and if commissioned, beyond.

About the Role

On appointment, the postholder will lead Out2Play, using the play rangers model of delivery to enable children to play out in greenspaces close to their homes.

The postholder will also staff other sessions run by Play Midlothian. We champion adventurous, self-directed play, with a focus on loose parts, and use varied community settings to create rich play opportunities. A high proportion of sessions take place outdoors, all year round.

Travel and transportation of play resources to multiple sites across Midlothian is required for successful delivery of our services. Most sessions take place after school hours and at weekends, with some during the school day, so flexibility is required, though we do aim to share out weekend working on a rota pattern so that everyone gets predictable weekends off.

This role would suit someone with playwork, youth work or family support experience who is ready to step into frontline management — or an existing manager looking for a values-led, varied, community-based role.

If you are enthusiastic about enabling children to play in their own ways, we would love to hear from you.
