About the Role:
Together Reaching Higher (TRH) is seeking two experienced Business Advisers to provide one-to-one guidance and group support for early-stage entrepreneurs. You will play a central role in helping participants set up and grow their businesses, from registration and compliance through to online trading, crowdfunding, and sustainability planning.
Working as part of a small, passionate team, you will co-deliver enterprise training, workshops, and 1:1 sessions, while supporting participants to overcome barriers and realise their entrepreneurial potential. This is a unique opportunity to help shape Scotland’s first community-led Entrepreneur Pathways Lab, with a focus on empowering women, New Scots, refugees, and ethnic minority entrepreneurs.

- Deliver practical training on business planning, finance, and digital tools.
- Guide entrepreneurs through pilot testing, customer feedback, and scaling strategies.
Programme Delivery:
- Co-deliver the Enterprise Bootcamp (covering business structures, branding, financial literacy, and online sales).
- Provide 1:1 advisory sessions during the GrowLab Incubator stage.
- Support participants to prepare for crowdfunding, grant applications, and sustainability planning.
Community & Ecosystem Engagement:
- Work closely with ethnic minority communities, particularly women, to ensure access and inclusion.
- Liaise with ecosystem partners (e.g. Business Gateway, CEMVO, Just Enterprise, GESN).
- Help connect participants to wider business networks and funding opportunities.
Monitoring & Reporting:
- Track participant progress through Individual Growth Plans (IGPs).
- Contribute to monitoring, evaluation, and reporting for funders.
Person Specification:
We are looking for dynamic, committed individuals with:
- Proven experience in business advising, enterprise training, or SME support.
- Strong knowledge of UK business registration and compliance requirements.
- Experience supporting online business development (e-commerce, social selling, digital tools).
- Excellent communication, mentoring, and intercultural skills.
- A commitment to inclusion and understanding of barriers faced by New Scots and ethnic minority entrepreneurs.
- Experience delivering both workshops and one-to-one support.
What We Offer:
- An opportunity to shape Scotland’s first Entrepreneurs Pathways Lab.
- Meaningful and rewarding work supporting women and ethnic minority entrepreneurs.
- A supportive and collaborative working environment.
- Professional development opportunities.
