We are a small team of community-based workers and volunteers. We work alongside local people and families to build happier, healthier lives. Based in the heart of North Edinburgh, our vision is Equality, Wellbeing and Belonging for all in our communities. We were established in 1984 making us the oldest community health project in Scotland. Our Community Wellbeing Programme tackles the harms of health inequalities by supporting people to take steps to better health by taking control of their own health and wellbeing. This, in turn, creates a healthier, happier, resilient community and environment. We really enjoy collaborating and often work in partnership to share resources, and to maximise our impact. This ensures we continue to learn and develop to the benefit of local people and their families. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to equality and diversity. We particularly welcome applications from groups currently under represented in our team such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, men and people from an LGBTQI background. This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to work with a driven team of social enterprise and community developers in one of Scotland’s most well regarded and effective social enterprise support providers. Community Enterprise Ltd is a well-established third sector support organisation with a progressive outlook and a diverse portfolio. The role will be based within the development team but will focus on those facing challenges. Though some support will be provided by the post holder, this is also a co-ordinating role, drawing together support from across Scotland. We are particularly keen to enhance the capacity and skillset of our team by recruiting someone with strong financial and governance skills and experience. The successful candidate will also support the core work of the development team. The Challenges Group is an international enterprise development organisation that delivers enterprising solutions to global challenges. The key global challenges we are helping to tackle are: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Gender Equality and Empowerment for all Women and Girls, Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Regenerative Consumption and Production Good Health and Wellbeing. Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an integral part of our approach. Everything we do is designed to maximise enterprises’ potential, so they can deliver extraordinary impact. We achieve this by improving their organisational capabilities through learning and leadership development for people; strengthening enterprises and their ecosystems; facilitating access to finance; and supporting innovation. We operate globally, have offices in seven countries - Ghana, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the UK, Zambia and Tanzania - and have been privileged to support more than 5,000 individual enterprises, across 78 countries, refined over 25 years of application since we started in 1999. Learning & Leadership for Economic Empowerment

The Challenges Group is a long-standing provider of management and leadership training to a range of audiences globally, including through our strategic partnership with the Chartered Management Institute. We are seeking a Business Development Manager for our Scotland based Learning & Leadership team. The Learning & Leadership team are responsible for facilitating a range of training delivery to a number of key client groups in Scotland, either within programmes that support under-represented groups (such as the award-winning Making Work Work) or as a B2B training offer. Investing in economic empowerment is essential for fostering sustainable development and economic growth. We are committed to growing the capacity of organisations and people across our markets through training of women and other key target groups, providing innovative solutions that engage, grow and connect people to emerging opportunities for growth and development. We have been designing and delivering work-readiness, professional skills development, and early-stage entrepreneurship programmes, with proven experience of creating sustainable employment and opportunities across a wide range of sectors for 18 years and have trained over 28,000 individuals.

Challenges works according to an outcomes-focused, flexible working model and the successful candidate will be expected to manage their time in accordance with their responsibilities, workload and non-work commitments in a way which supports team collaboration and achievement of common objectives.
