Reuse Consortium Officer

About the role

Circular Communities Scotland is a network membership organisation, dedicated to supporting the establishment of a thriving circular economy in Scotland. We support and represents repair, reuse and recycling charities and social enterprises across the country. Our members prevent valuable products and materials from entering landfill, create local jobs, economic opportunities, and help promote and create social and environmental justice in their communities.

Part of the work we do to support a thriving circular economy in Scotland is through our Reuse Consortium. A self-sustaining business model, the consortium is made up of Circular Communities Scotland members who provide reuse furniture and white goods to local authorities across Scotland through a Scotland Excel Framework Agreement.

Circular Communities Scotland is recruiting a Reuse Consortium Officer to support our award-winning Reuse Consortium to grow and continue to thrive. If you have stakeholder and project management skills, good attention to detail and a commitment to supporting the growth of the circular economy in Scotland, we would love to hear from you. If you are successful in your application, you will join a growing and thriving team at Circular Communities Scotland and be contributing to delivering greater environmental and social impact across Scotland.

What we are looking for

This role requires someone with good organisational skills who can manage multiple workstreams effectively and is also a strong team player. You will need to be able to build and maintain positive and professional relationships with a range of stakeholders, including our Reuse Consortium members, Local Authorities and Housing Associations and the national procurement body Scotland Excel.
