Summer Isles Enterprises Ltd
We are a large-scale, dynamic, and forward-thinking restoration and hospitality project in the
Northwest Highlands with strong philanthropic and community commitments. The heart of our
operation is on a remote and beautiful 800-acre island, where we are delivering stunning,
sympathetic builds and authentic guest experiences in an area of outstanding scenery.
We run a monitoring programme to capture our social and environmental impact and effectiveness
across a range of indicators and are looking for an enthusiastic, creative person to help with
this work and become our Impact Coordinator. Our chief areas of charitable engagement include
Education, Rural and Community Regeneration, Arts, Culture, Heritage and Science, Environmental
Protection and Improvement, and Health and Wellbeing.
The purpose of this role will be the accurate measurement of the effectiveness and social value
of the projects we deliver for our owning Charitable Trust. Our Impact Coordinator will work
with our internal and external impact team to measure the social value of past, present and
future projects, with strategic guidance and support from our leadership team, external
advisers, and Trustees.
Storytelling
This role will suit a graduate with degrees, or equivalent experience, in the
Social Sciences, Sustainable Development, Management or related fields. This is an opportunity
for an ambitious candidate to jump straight into a well-supported role on a big project and
produce well-presented, evidence-based stories about the project’s impact using numbers, text,
and multimedia for a variety of different audiences
Data
We gather social value data and KPIs, and have a burgeoning collection of
testimonials, feedback, and imagery. We need someone to help build and maintain our qualitative
and quantitative data library. This will very much be a “doing” role, involving time spent with
spreadsheets and reports, as well as time spent with the team helping them with the same. We
are collating the story of the project to date for a key report in Q1 2025.
Community
Our team is diverse, driven, and comes from across the country and further afield. We have our
own growing island community of staff and guests, while also being embedded in mainland life in
nearby crofting townships and villages. There are opportunities for working with different
teams, sailing heritage boats, hosting guests, educating school pupils, and supporting projects
on the mainland.
We are looking for a capable, self-motivated individual with excellent communication skills who
will thrive on a challenging project. We anticipate out-of-the-box thinking and
self-presentation from the get-go. Training and development will be offered to the right
candidate. The salary range for this role will be £25-£35k pa depending on experience. We will
be happy to discuss flexible shift patterns and shared accommodation with the right candidate.
For application information please contact [email protected]. The closing date for
applications will be the 2nd of May 2024. Teams interviews will take place on
the 7th and 8th of May. Preferred candidates will be invited to visit the island on the 16th
and 17th of May.
