staff Team

Meet the Signpost International staff team that works at the Roundhouse overseeing projects in Dundee and throughout the world, where they strive for an equitable world where poverty and injustice are eliminated, people thrive and communities flourish. 

 Food & Health Development Officer

"The projects that I oversee focus on supporting people locally on Dundee. The food project seeks to capture surplus food that would be wasted and turn it into good-for-you meals to be given out through emergency food parcel providers. The combination of environmental and social purposes behind this project really attracted me. Outside the kitchen, I’m into running, yoga, knitting, crafting, reading and generally keeping busy with my two wee boys."

Food Projects Chef

  “I love the whole idea behind the food projects at the Roundhouse, taking surplus food that was going to be thrown out and turning it into meals. It is great that we can take the surplus food and produce meals that can be given to those who need a little support and also create dishes that can be enjoyed by customers in the café. In my spare time I love taking my dog for long walks, I also really enjoy gardening, going swimming and spending time with my family.” 

Chief Executive

"I have worked with Signpost for over ten years and have seen many changes in that time. I enjoy working here as there has always been a small, committed team who work hard to make a big difference. Over the years we have helped many thousands of people in many different areas of the world." In that time Jamie has married Chrisie whom he met while working at Signpost, and together they have 3 young children, Callan, Ella and Joel.

Facilities and Operations Manager

I came across Signpost in 2007 and was impressed with the approach of tackling poverty both overseas and here in the UK. Over the years I have worked with Signpost as a consultant, a trustee, and now as a member of staff. I am excited about seeing how the Roundhouse continues to develop as a place both to learn about poverty and injustice, but also to connect with people experiencing them.' David is married to Sarah, has three grown up daughters, and is happiest when he is making bread.

Administrator

‘I first came across Signpost International via my church when I met some staff who were holding a community event and some years later I started working with them. It’s a lovely place to work, alongside such caring people, and being involved in helping to transform so many lives amongst those we work with. I am a mum of two wonderful daughters and am trying to get used to having a husband who has just retired.'

Finance Officer

‘I like the fact that we are a small, close knit team and that I am able to have input into other aspects of the work, away from the spreadsheets. My job is meaningful because, although I spend a lot of time looking at figures I also get to hear what difference those amounts make to the communities we help.’ Outside of work Karen is an accomplished seamstress and is happy to lend a hand with anything fabric related.

Communications & Fundraising Officer

‘I first came across Signpost through the partnership with Henry’s Coffee House. I love the mission and vision of Signpost, walking alongside communities supporting them to be drivers of their own change. It is a great privilege getting to meet with individuals and groups to share about the work we are involved in and I love being able to tell supporters about the work they are supporting.’ Peter is married to Natalie and they have a young daughter, Bethan. Peter is a big football fan and is on the committee at Tayport Football Club.
