Current Opportunities
Here at FEL we pride ourselves on being a close-knit team with one common goal: Changing our world for the better. Project by project. If that sounds like you, have a look at our current open opportunities. Your next great role could be with us, making a tangible difference to the way people in your community eat, move and live.
Family Liaison Officer - Transport to Employment
This project recognises that transport is often a barrier that prevents parents from working or training. As Family Liaison Officer, you will work directly with parents and carers who want to work or undergo training but are held back by transport problems. Working closely with our School Active Travel Hub Officers, employability services and family support partners, you will help provide practical, short term transport support where transport is the missing link to employment. This role has three main aims. You will help parents get to work or training by solving transport problems; support wider child poverty reduction by improving family income and stability; and generate learning about what transport support works and how it can be embedded in future services. We are looking for someone with strong people skills and the ability to work sensitively with families and understand the challenges they may face. Experience linked to employability, family support, transport access, schools or community hubs would be valuable, but we welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds.
Project Officer - Trees for Goals
Our Trees for Goals project uses grassroots sport as a gateway into climate action, linking goals scored on the pitch with trees planted in local communities. Working with sports clubs, partners and residents across Forth Valley, the project aims to increase climate awareness, encourage community climate pledges and support tree planting in areas with low tree canopy cover. You will work closely with FEL colleagues and partner organisations including The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and Forth Climate Forest to engage clubs and communities, coordinate activities and help deliver local impact. We are looking for someone with strong people skills who enjoys community engagement and partnership working. Experience in community projects, climate action, sport, volunteering or environmental work would be valuable, but we welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds.
