About Us

Formed in 2019, Sustainable Kirriemuir is a Scottish community-led environmental charity which seeks to increase our community’s awareness of the impacts of climate change and the benefits of sustainable practices. We achieved charitable status in August 2023.

Our vision is for Kirriemuir to be a sustainable, net-zero community where people and nature flourish. Our strategic plan (available on our website) was developed following a community information gathering exercise to imagine our future as a thriving community, the outcomes of which have informed our strategic objectives for the next five years.

In practice we are working towards helping our community live more sustainably, making social and environmental change happen, so people and nature can thrive.

We believe powerful change can be simple to make; small steps everyone can take to make their own lives better can help steer us towards a healthier and more sustainable future. We make that change happen project by project. Each one we run focuses on the things that matter to those they support across our core themes of Active & Sustainable Travel, Food & Growing, Action for Nature and Sustainable Living.

The Role

You will be responsible for overseeing all of our operations, staff, projects and deliverables and ensuring all of our activity is delivered on budget and in line with our strategic aims. Undertaking this role you will be the key link between the staff delivering the operational activities of the organisation and the board of Trustees. If you think you have the right skills, we’d love to hear from you. For more information about what this role involves, please refer to the Job Description.
