Background Information

Canonmills Church was founded by the Rev. William Innes in 1810 on Baptist and ecumenical principles. Today its members are from various Christian backgrounds with a strong belief in the importance of the Christian family, caring and looking after one another. It prides itself in its warm and friendly welcome, coming together not just for worship but also socially. There is no permanent minister but instead there is a programme of excellent visiting ministers, who provide a rich variety of services in a traditional style. The affairs of the Church are managed by elected deacons, who form the Diaconate. Although a member of the Baptist Union of Scotland, Canonmills operates independently and is well financed.

As with all Churches, our congregation is an ageing one and it is recognised that there is a need to broaden its horizons by engaging more with the local community and reaching out to possible new members. The community around Canonmills is a vibrant one. It is a bridge between Inverleith and Broughton, close to the Botanic Gardens and the New Town with small businesses, coffee shops and restaurants.

We’re looking for a Case Support Officer to join our team at the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission. We help resolve issues raised by the public about work carried out by Scottish lawyers.

We are an equal opportunities employer and we’re open on both professional and work experience. We want to build a diverse team, so would positively encourage applications from all candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion, pregnancy or maternity.

We help hundreds of people a year. Our team reach decisions which make a difference to people’s lives. In some cases we award compensation and explain why the level of service fell short. In others our independent review of the situation shows the lawyer did all they could, giving the client and lawyer confidence the concerns have been addressed.

We’re a team of around 67 staff, which makes for a close, friendly team to be a part of. We deliver serious work, but we also have a great deal of fun as a team. It also means there are great opportunities to get involved in different aspects of what we do, from driving improvements in our customer service, to running sprints to test new ways of working. We are always improving and innovating.

As a Case Support Officer, you will be the first point of contact for external service users, assisting a wide range of people with enquiries relating to new and existing complaints. You will ensure we are accessible and helpful, as well as deliver high quality administrative support to help facilitate early resolution of complaints, and fair outcomes for solicitors and consumers.

You will help keep cases moving quickly through our process by maintaining and updating the information on our case management system, ensuring that all service user interactions are recorded and complaint information is accurate.

A typical day could involve dealing with telephone enquiries, checking, considering and responding to incoming emails and post, providing information on how to make a complaint and the process to follow, along with managing expectations of possible outcomes.

Working as part of a small team, you’ll also attend to other tasks such as considering incoming complaint forms and checking we have all the information we need, liaising with the relevant professional organisations and making decisions on whether complaints can be accepted into our process and updating the parties accordingly. You’ll also consider whether there is any scope for early resolution of the complaint.

We’d like to hear from you if you can demonstrate:

• Experience of working as part of a team to meet overall team/operational targets;
• Experience of dealing with well-informed and challenging service users;

• Experience of effectively managing a caseload.
• Experience of reviewing information to make recommendations/decisions in line with relevant policies, processes and legislation.

Please note your induction will include more office days in the beginning to help you settle into SLCC, learn about the role and to provide the most support. As this is a customer centered role, with our enquiry lines open Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, this is a full-time role of 35 hours per week over 5 days.

We offer flexible working hours, along with a flexi time scheme. This means when you are working from home you can work anytime between 6am and 10pm and when working in the office, between 7am to 7pm. You’ll arrange with colleagues to ensure there is sufficient Case Support Officer cover between 9am to 5pm.

You’ll also have 42 days paid holiday, including public holidays (pro-rata for less than 35 hours a week). We also offer a Group Self Invested Personal Pension, company sick pay scheme, life assurance, cycle to work scheme, travel loan scheme, volunteer days and a confidential employee assistance programme offering free advice and support across a range of work and personal issues.

We also pride ourselves on being an enjoyable place to work, with a supportive environment, opportunities for self-development, staff charity events and the chance to socialise.

At Girlguiding Scotland, striving to be an inclusive and impactful organisation is at the heart of what we do.

• IT and digital

These skills could be gained from voluntary or paid roles.

You also need to be eligible to serve as a trustee of a charity, including being aged 18 or over at the time of appointment, and be committed to our values.

INCH COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION: Scottish Land Fund (SLF) Stage 1 Project

Inch House Community Asset Transfer Feasibility Study

INVITATION TO QUOTE: Specialist Architectural / Business Advisers

Background

Inch House Community Centre, based at Inch House, is owned by the City of Edinburgh Council and operated by Inch Community Association (ICA), a fully constituted two-tier SCIO (SC049401). Unusually for a community centre, Inch House is also a Category A listed building comprising a historic 16th century Tower House with notable Georgian and Victorian extensions. Inch House has been a council-owned community centre for nearly 40 years and the building fabric has suffered from underinvestment over this period.

Inch House is of great significance to local residents and numerous community groups, given its rich history and heritage, its role as an adult learning centre, and hub for many community, arts, cultural, wellbeing and environmental organisations and activities. Under a current grant from the Architectural Heritage Fund (AHF), ICA is assessing future viable options for much needed refurbishment of Inch House; it has also been investing its own resources in a programme of restoration and improvement of its rooms and internal spaces (many of which are empty) to make these available for external / community users.

Inch House – Community Asset Transfer preparation

As part of a wider project to secure a long-term sustainable future for Inch House, we are considering all options, including the potential acquisition of Inch House for community ownership through the Community Asset Transfer (CAT) process, working with the City of Edinburgh Council and other stakeholders to develop a viable and sustainable long-term community ownership and management solution that safeguards the future of Inch House.

In order to inform this potential long-term solution, ICA is currently preparing to submit an application to the Scottish Land Fund to secure the necessary ‘Stage 1’ funding to assess the feasibility of developing a CAT solution for Inch House and to prepare the ground for this.

Our application to SLF will be submitted on 02 October and we anticipate a response to our application by mid-November. The likely fee value of this work is £28,000 (including VAT) to be carried out between mid-November 2026 and mid-March 2027.

Invitation to Quote – Specialist Advisers

ICA is now seeking to commission specialist architectural and business consultants with the relevant knowledge and expertise to deliver this project on our behalf. Details of the scope of work, project timeframe and the assessment criteria for advisers, are set out in the attached. NOTE proposals and quotations from qualified and experienced advisers are sought for this work by 3pm, Monday 12 October.
