What You'll Do

We are looking for a dedicated and relationship-driven colleague to lead an exciting one-year programme focused on improving community support for people living with Energy Limiting Conditions (ELCs). You’ll be at the heart of strengthening understanding, coordination, and sector capacity across Dumfries & Galloway — with the opportunity to shape future work around wider long-term conditions.

If you thrive on engagement, insight-gathering, and helping organisations build their confidence to support people with fluctuating conditions, this role is for you.

• Carry out a region-wide mapping and gapping exercise to understand current community support for ELCs.
• Build strong relationships with third sector organisations, community groups, practitioners, and lived experience voices.
• Facilitate conversations, engagement sessions, and two forum-style events to deepen shared understanding.
• Develop resources, guidance, and introductory capacity-building activity to strengthen sector confidence.
• Capture insights, identify priority needs, and highlight opportunities for future development and investment.
• Produce clear reports, summaries, and a baseline evidence report with recommendations for future work.
• Explore how learning from ELCs can inform support for wider long-term conditions.
• Represent TSDG and support collaborative working across our community health and wellbeing portfolio.

More about you

• You bring experience from within, or closely alongside, the third sector — ideally in community health, wellbeing, or long-term conditions.
• You are exceptionally organised — able to manage multiple priorities, track actions, and keep workstreams aligned.
• You’re confident creating and maintaining documentation, whether that’s action notes, work plans, trackers, or briefing materials.
• You have strong communication skills and can build positive relationships with partners from different sectors.
• You’re comfortable analysing information, capturing learning, and communicating it clearly and accessibly
•  You’re digitally confident, with experience using tools such as Teams, shared drives, spreadsheets, or project management platforms.
• You work well both independently and as part of a dispersed team, sharing knowledge and supporting colleagues.
• You are self-motivated, committed to improvement, and keen to contribute to a programme that strengthens the sector and the communities we serve.
