Gaelic Development Officer post (360G-BNG-2425-3001)

Following the completion of a Gaelic Heritage Value study undertaken during 2023 and the expansion of the Dumfries & Galloway Council Gaelic Language Plan Implementation Group, it has been identified with lead community partner Gàidhlig Dumgal the need for a Part-Time Gaelic Development Officer post to help add capacity and take forward a number of Gaelic related opportunities/ideas identified and which are discussed later in this application.Through this post we hope to raise the profile of Gaelic within Dumfries and Galloway and also increase awareness around the rich Gaelic Heritage within the region and progress opportunities linked to Gaelic related tourism. The project will benefit existing speakers of Gaelic and aims to increase the number of speakers within the region.A key priority of the Project will be to work with a range of cultural and tourism related partners to understand, recognise and take forward opportunities to promote and develop Gaelic.
