The Manx Beauty is an historic fishing vessel, built in Cellardyke in 1937, she was subsequently owned and operated from various ports across the British Isles. Now in a poor state of repair, our project is to improve lives and community through the rebuilding of the Manx Beauty. The core priority of our project is to deliver training opportunities for young people and volunteers to engage in practical boat rebuilding, restoration and recycling. Alongside students from our partner high school, Waid Academy, in Anstruther, the target volunteers are those isolated through social, economic or health issues. We will create a supportive environment for certificated training opportunities. There will also be additional openings for volunteers to engage in related arts and cultural heritage projects.
We are seeking a highly organised, self-motivated individual with a strong interest in both heritage and community, to lead and manage our Manx Beauty Project through the delivery phase.
In July 2026 we were delighted to be awarded £1.2m funding by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver our project.
The Project Coordinator position has been created to manage the project ‘Manx Beauty Cellardyke and Beyond’, and support the Trustees of The Cellardyke Trust.
The successful candidate will bring a proven track record of successful project management, delivering projects within budgets and timescales, with environmental sustainability at the core. We are seeking an individual with excellent people and communication skills, with experience of managing volunteers. An inclusive approach with a drive to facilitate access for all to engage with heritage and the ability to motivate and inspire others to do likewise is a key value. A track record of successful partnership building and a creative and collaborative approach are essential, together with problem-solving and negotiation skills.
