Help Comrie participate and thrive

Comrie already benefits from people who give their time, skills and energy generously. We want to match that commitment with excellent volunteer support: a warm welcome, thoughtful organisation, clear communication and

recognition of the difference people make.

Help existing volunteers thrive and welcome new participants, particularly younger villagers. Working across Comrie and District, including Cultybraggan Camp, you will connect community priorities with people's interests and talents and help remove barriers to taking part.

• Listen to existing volunteers, recognise their contribution and match people to worthwhile projects that use their skills.
• Widen participation, including among younger villagers, and address practical barriers such as timing, access and confidence.
• Provide clear induction and support, keep useful records and mobilise volunteers around agreed community activities.

Build community involvement in heritage-led regeneration, consultation and fundraising, and volunteer teams for agreed income-generating activities. Begin with existing volunteers and one priority project, with named activity leaders.

You will be one of three complementary part-time roles, alongside heritage and business development colleagues.

You will lead volunteer support and matching, working to a small set of agreed priorities within 14 hours each week.

About you

You will be approachable, organised and good at bringing people together. We welcome experience from employment, volunteering or community involvement, especially supporting volunteers or coordinating group activities.

Clear communication, reliable follow-through and confidence keeping simple digital records are essential.
