The Trustees of the Adam Smith Global Foundation wish to recruit a dynamic Centre Manager. We offer this fantastic highly varied opportunity for you to enhance and build upon your office, operational management and project development skills and be part of our exciting future as we plan for ambitious growth and development over the next two years and beyond.

Of key importance is your ability to demonstrate a broad range of office management skills and project officer experience that will help move the work of the Foundation forward in implementation of a strong and ambitious development plan for the Foundation’s future and in particular our Heritage Exhibition Centre and Garden as a vibrant, quality assured visitor attraction.

You would need to be willing to learn quickly backed by guidance, direction and mentoring support. The Centre Manager plays a pivotal management role in the success of the Foundation by undertaking a wide range of administrative, financial and managerial functions in delivery of an effective and efficient daily operation ensuring a high standard of service. The position requires a combination of management, and interpersonal skills to achieve optimal results.

The role will report directly to the General Manager and be responsible for the line management of our team of volunteers. The postholder also works closely with our various partners, including many local organisations, and across the wider community. We are based in The Adam Smith Heritage Centre, Kirkcaldy in an impressively renovated Category C-listed building, endeavouring to retain the fabric features of the structure from its earliest existence. The upper floor is utilised as office accommodation, while the ground floor is designated as the Adam Smith Exhibition with access leading to the Adam Smith Garden.

We promote an accessible and inclusive approach to our historical heritage and seek to deepen people’s sense of wellbeing, belonging and pride in place through learning and appreciation of the life of Adam Smith inviting all to explore, enjoy and feel part of. Community engagement, education and involvement are key to achieving our aims.
