Some of our existing programmes include The Curve digital skills programme, Digital Trustees, The Open Working Programme and our quarterly Tech for Good Scotland events. We are here to help charities get the most out of digital, data and design.

Some core priorities for this role will include:

• Project managing aspects of our key programmes.
