Why CHAS?

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together. The skill, determination and creative flair of our Fundraising Teams makes this possible.

This is a pivotal moment to join CHAS. We’ve just launched More Than A Hospice - a £20 million appeal to change how Scotland cares for children who will die young, and for the families who love them. Every week, three children in Scotland die from an incurable illness, and advances in medicine mean more children are living longer with complex, life‑shortening conditions - a gift, but one that demands change.

Right now, too many families don’t have real choice throughout their child’s life, or at the end of it - and are sometimes forced into decisions because the care they need isn’t always there when it’s needed. We believe Scotland can - and must - do better. Joining CHAS now means being part of an ambitious appeal that aims to ensure care follows the child - at home, in hospital, or in a hospice so no family faces that moment alone

We offer

• Flexible Working: our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid manner with time split between at home and onsite in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
• Development Opportunities: exposure to a variety of fundraising activities
• Professional Growth: Work with industry leaders in a high-performing team where you will be encouraged and supported to excel and develop your skills.

Penumbra Milestone is a 10 bedded step-down service providing short-term care and recovery (for approx. 12 weeks) for vulnerable men and women aged 18+ with a diagnosis of alcohol related brain damage (ARBD).

The service is alcohol-free and promotes recovery from ARBD through a wide variety of group work and 1-1 support. We utilise our specialist ARBD Toolkit, as well as Penumbra’s wider HOPE toolkit and IROC (Individual Recovery Outcomes Counter), to support and encourage people to make positive changes in their lives. It is our goal to help people build resilience develop positive coping strategies to minimise the chance of relapse, increasing their chance of prolonged recovery from ARBD. During their stay, each resident benefits from the shared expertise of our multi-disciplinary team, with regular in-reach support from Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Psychology, Social Work, Psychiatry and many other visiting professionals.

The service was developed to reduce the amount of time people with ARBD spend unnecessarily in acute hospitals, recognising that people with ARBD are often medically fit for discharge but due to cognitive impairment and ongoing addiction and social issues a return to the community is likely to lead to further A&E or acute hospital admissions. Addressing the needs of each resident in a holistic way with a focus on recovery, rehabilitation and re-enablement has substantial beneficial outcomes for the residents, their families, their communities and for acute hospitals and social services at a wider scale.

The service is a collaborative partnership between Penumbra Mental Health, NHS Lothian/Integrated Joint Boards and City of Edinburgh Council. Referrals come from acute and community hospitals in Lothian, with additional referrals from the regional alcohol detox unit.

We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.

Duncan Place Community Hub in Leith is looking for up to six volunteer Trustees to make up a board of twelve. We are looking for Trustees willing to share their skills, knowledge and experience, and who can work in a team to ensure good governance and provide strategic direction to the staff team who carry out the day-to-day operations and management.

Trustees should be universally welcoming and supportive of our diverse community.

If you have the following skills and experience, let’s talk:

We welcome other skills and experience too and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences who can add value to the organisation.

Duncan Place will organise this at no cost to the Trustee. More details are available here: mygov.scot/pvg-scheme

About Duncan Place Community Hub

Duncan Place Community Hub is a registered charity operating as a social enterprise. Through offering a range of inclusive and low-cost community events, we aim to promote well-being, reduce social isolation, and build social connections in Leith and the surrounding areas.

We also provide affordable office space to organisations making a positive social impact in the area, and hourly room hire for local groups, businesses and individuals.

The organisation has grown from the potential demolition of a very tired council owned community centre, to a fully refurbished hub owned by the charity and serving the people of Leith. The income we generate from tenancies and room hire is used to maintain our building, employ our team at the real living wage, and to subsidise our community events. This innovative model means that the charity is financially healthy, has decent reserves and is able to use funds raised to respond to the communities’ needs without the need to rely on short-term funding.

Our Vision, Mission

Our Vision

Our vision is for a happy healthy community where people are welcomed to take part in what we offer.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote well-being, reduce social isolation, and build social connections in Leith and the surrounding areas.

We do this through

Offering a range of inclusive and low-cost community events and activities covering a wide range of ages and interests.

Providing affordable office space to organisations making a positive social impact in the area, and hourly room hire for local groups, businesses and individuals.

Generating income from tenancies and room hire to maintain our building, employ our team at the real living wage, and to subsidise our community events.

Our Values

Maintaining Duncan Place Community Hub as a welcoming and inclusive space takes kindness and effort from all of us. We thank all building users for sharing in our values and being part of making it such a great space.

Inclusion: We are committed to creating a space and providing services where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued.

Community: The people that use our building, our tenants, room-hirers, staff and visitors are central to all that we do. We are proud to be a part of the diverse and exciting community that is Leith. We will continue to build strong relationships within and outside our organisation to support our community.

Diversity: We celebrate the unique backgrounds and experiences of those that use our community hub.

Wellbeing: We prioritise the health and happiness of all hub users and employees. Physical, mental, social, and emotional health are equally important and underpin the decisions we take.

Making a difference: We strive to create a positive impact on the lives of our members, visitors, employees, tenants and the broader community.

Training Details

Current board members and the chief executive of the charity will provide induction and ongoing support. We will support you to access online training for the role of a charity trustee which is available through Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations Council (EVOC) and will explore other training opportunities as required and as budget allows.

About Our Board

We are keen to continue developing the organisation by welcoming up to six new Trustees, bringing fresh eyes with a range of skills, experience and perspectives. New Trustees will join our current board of committed and engaged individuals who have been with the charity for between two to six years. Our current chair is reaching the end of their maximum length of service and will be retiring at the next AGM. The board will be appointed at the AGM (18th June) and then, at the first meeting following the AGM, the board themselves will decide on the office bearing roles. Current trustees have skills in organisational management, facilities management, staff support, strategic planning, policy development, treasury skills, funding and more.

Expected Commitment

There are 8-10 in-person board meetings per year. These are currently monthly on a Thursday evening and approx. 1.5-2hrs long. Following a mission and values day last October we will be progressing through our next phase of growth. The frequency of board meetings will be under review with the intention of reducing the number held each year.

Trustees are expected to attend the board meetings and to also join and contribute to sub-groups to oversee ongoing areas of work in line with their interests and/ or organisational need. Depending upon the area of work, the sub-group can be short lived, medium or longer term. The times of the sub-group meetings are flexible and decided by the sub-group members. We hope that potential candidates will commit to a 3-year term of office, but we are realistic and know that ‘life happens!’

The estimated commitment is 4 to 6 hours per month e.g.

• Reading papers in advance of meetings
• Attending and contributing at meetings
• Progressing action points
• Sub-group commitments

Trustees are expected to be confident and self-sufficient in using digital tools, including email, WhatsApp, shared document platforms (such as SharePoint) and video conferencing (teams/ zoom or similar). Board papers and organisational documents are managed digitally; trustees are expected to access these independently using their own device. This means having reliable access to a laptop, tablet, or similar device capable of running a current web browser and accessing cloud-based platforms. A smartphone alone is unlikely to be sufficient for this purpose.

If you have any concerns about meeting these requirements, please contact us to discuss before applying.

Foundation Scotland is an independent charity that provides funding to charities, social enterprises and community organisations. We do this on behalf of over 400 individuals, charitable trusts and companies.

Foundation Scotland is on a growth trajectory. The Board are committed to supporting this growth and have set aside funds for investment in technology and systems improvement. We use SunSytems for accounting and budgeting and have interfaces to our Grantmaking and Donor Database [Salesforce] and invoices and expenses system [ExpenseIn]

To support this growth, we’re looking for an Accounts Assistant who will play a key role in maintaining the accuracy and integrity of our accounting data across SunSystems and Salesforce.

You’ll be joining a supportive and collaborative team. We work primarily from home, with opportunities to come together in person a few times each month in Edinburgh, ensuring a balance of flexibility, connection and shared learning.

This is a fantastic role for someone who loves continuous improvement, enjoys making systems run better and takes pride in delivering reliable, timely financial information, all while offering excellent customer care.

In return, Foundation Scotland offers a generous and supportive package, including 35 days annual leave, training and development opportunities, flexible working, employer pension contributions and a progressive pay system with benchmarked annual increases.

Help shape the future of a fostering and adoption charity with over 100 years of impact.

We are seeking an inspiring and values driven Chair of the Board to lead our Trustees at a pivotal point in our journey. With a proud history of delivering adoption services for more than a century, the charity has grown to also provide a mainstream fostering service, alongside our therapy centre, supporting children, young people and families living within a 60 mile radius of our office in Edinburgh. A key focus of our current strategy is to improve the overall financial resilience of the organisation by broadening our philanthropic support base and extending our services to the sector more widely on a fee-paying basis.

As Chair, you will provide inclusive leadership to the Board, ensure strong governance and safeguarding, and work in close partnership with the Chief Executive to set strategic direction and uphold our mission and values. You will help ensure the organisation is financially sustainable, well governed, and delivering the highest quality outcomes for children and families, and you will support the Chief Executive in delivering the strategic objectives of the organisation.

This is a voluntary role, requiring approximately 2–3 days per month, and offers a meaningful opportunity to use your leadership experience to make a lasting difference. We welcome applications from individuals who share our commitment to children’s rights, equity, diversity and inclusion. Lived experience of fostering, adoption or care is particularly valued.
