We are looking for a highly organised individual to join us as Assistant Development Officer in the Economic Development and Business Gateway team. Part of the Enterprise and Economic Growth service, our team is responsible for distributing the council’s suite of development grants to businesses and community organisations across Orkney.
The successful candidate will support Economic Development and Business Gateway by processing grant applications and the payment of claims, ensuring compliance with scheme guidelines. This will require attention to detail and effective communication, both within the team, across departments, and with applicants.
You will have responsibility for developing and maintaining spreadsheets for accurate recording and monitoring of our various funding streams, including monthly reconciliation with the council’s financial system.
Familiarity with public sector funding will be crucial to this role, therefore we ask that applicants have experience with grant-assisted projects.
The successful candidate will also provide team administrative support to the Economic Development and Business Gateway team, such as minute-taking and other financial processes.
You should hold an SVQ level 3/HNC or equivalent level qualification in Business Studies/Administration or Accountancy (SCQF level 6/7) or, where the essential qualification is not held, a minimum of 3 years’ experience of working in a relevant role is required.
You should be able to travel efficiently and effectively between work locations within Orkney to meet the operational requirements of the Service.
This post is subject to Level 1 Disclosure Scotland clearance.
Prospective applicants are invited to discuss the post with Laura Hutton, Economic Development Manager, by phone 01856 873 535 (extension 2519)) or email: laura.hutton@orkney.gov.uk
Closing Date: 23:59 on Sunday 5 October 2025
