Kirkcudbright Development Trust’s Community Development Officer, Debbie Craig, said:

The role is 50% funded through the Galloway Glens Scheme, itself supported by a range of partners including the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Drax, the owners of the Galloway Hydro Scheme. Jan Hogarth, Galloway Glens Education & Community Engagement officer, added:
“We are absolutely delighted to be working with the Kirkcudbright Development Trust to bring on another member of their team, supporting their capacity to grow and expand. It’s another successful step forward for the Kirkcudbright Development Trust’s future ambitions and we see this role as cementing and embedding the great legacy of recent work.
This job really will be offering something different every day and, being offered on a flexible, 20 hours a week basis, could suit a whole range of people.”
