IMPACT COORDINATOR SOUGHT
FOR RESTORATION PROJECT ON REMOTE ISLAND
We are a large-scale, dynamic, and forward-thinking restoration and hospitality project in the Northwest Highlands with strong philanthropic and community commitments. The heart of our operation is on a remote and beautiful 800-acre island, where we are delivering stunning, sympathetic builds and authentic guest experiences in an area of outstanding scenery.
We run a monitoring programme to capture our social and environmental impact across a range of indicators and are looking for an Impact Coordinator to continue this work. Our chief areas of charitable engagement include Education, Community Development, Arts, Culture, Heritage and Science, Environmental Protection and Improvement, and Health.
The purpose of this role will be the accurate measurement of the effectiveness and social value of the projects we deliver for our owning Charitable Trust. Our Impact Coordinator, working closely with our Community Engagement Officer and external social value expertise, will be our voice for impact across the project, both measuring the impact of past and current projects and considering the impact of new projects.
Storytelling
This role will suit a person with degrees, or equivalent experience, in the Social Sciences, Sustainable Development, Management or related fields. This is an opportunity for an ambitious candidate to jump straight into a big project and produce well-presented, evidence-based stories about the project’s impact using numbers, text, and multimedia for a variety of different internal and external audiences.
Data
We are monitoring a wide array of metrics using an external software platform. We collect social value data and KPIs, and have a burgeoning library of testimonials, feedback, and imagery. We need someone to take ownership of our qualitative and quantitative data library and its analysis. This will very much be a “doing” role, involving time spent with spreadsheets and our reporting platform, and time spent with the team helping them with the same.
Community
Our team is diverse, driven, and hails from across the country and further afield. We have our own growing island community of staff and guests, while also being embedded in mainland life in nearby crofting townships and villages. There are opportunities for working with different teams, sailing heritage boats, hosting guests, educating school pupils, and supporting projects on the mainland.
We are looking for a capable, self-motivated individual with excellent communication skills who will thrive on a challenging project. We anticipate out-of-the-box thinking and self-presentation from the get-go. Training and development will be offered to the right candidate. The salary range for this role will be £28-£38kpa depending on experience. We will be happy to discuss flexible shift patterns and shared accommodation with the right candidate.
The closing date for applications will be 23/02/24.
