Where the role fits in our organisation

What You'll Do
We are looking for a colleague who is passionate about the impact and potential of our third sector and who is excited about leading a new project to success.

The successful candidate will be the policy lead for Community Transport across Dumfries and Galloway, working with regional and national partners and leading a small team to deliver outcomes that support local, regional and national challenges.

It is principally a 9am – 5pm, weekday role, with very limited evening or weekend working anticipated. A minimum 50% of time would be expected to be in the Dumfries office, with the rest home-working or in the community if preferred. We have a Flexi-time policy that supports this.

Inverclyde Culture Collective Project Manager
- Part time
- £31,150 pro-rata
- On site: Greenock
- Closing 24th May 2026
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced, motivated and passionate Project Manager, with experience of coordinating Creative Projects, to join the CVS Inverclyde team and support an ambitious arts project, following funding from Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective Fund. The post is funded by Creative Scotland for 18 months (June 2026 – December 2027) and will spend a significant proportion of their working time working alongside Inverclyde Council, CVS Inverclyde, and Culture Collective Strategic Partners. The role will have a key position helping to facilitate, attend and promote artist activities across Inverclyde.
Creative Scotland’s Culture Collective Fund is a network of participatory arts projects, shaped by local communities alongside artists and creative organisations. Funded by Scottish Government through Creative Scotland, these projects are taking place across Scotland from across 2026-2027.
INVERCLYDE CULTURE COLLECTIVE
Inverclyde Culture Collective Lead Partners are:
*Inverclyde Council (Lead)
*CVS Inverclyde – who support, promote and represent Inverclyde’s third sector organisations.
*RIG Arts - a multi-award winning socially engaged arts charity based in Inverclyde
*Beacon Art Centre - a contemporary theatre and arts venue in the heart of Inverclyde
*The Wyllieum - a gallery in Greenock celebrating the work and legacy of artist George Wyllie
*Creative Recovery Inverclyde - an arts strand nestled within the heart of Your Voice’s Lived
*Theatre School of Scotland (TSOS) – who offer a variety of performing arts classes in Greenock
Our proposal builds on the success of our previous Inverclyde Culture Collective (ICC 2021-2023) to create 18 months of new activity from June 2026 devised from the Inverclyde Arts & Creativity Action Plan (2024-2029). Our overall focus will be an exploration of our “Creative Health” – a strong thread that emerged through previous delivery, leading to the inclusion of a “Creative Health Statement” within the “Inverclyde Health & Social Care Strategic Commissioning Plan” (2024 – 2027). We will also explore themes linked to the Climate Crisis, including climate anxiety.
This project will create paid opportunities for both salaried and freelance Creative Practitioners to engage with communities that have low arts engagement. Inverclyde Culture Collective will provide both emerging and established artists with the opportunity to push the boundaries of their own practice and look for radical solutions to sensitively collaborate and make work with local communities.
