The Project
Built in 1829, the former Royal High School is one of the most remarkable buildings in Edinburgh, and one of the most important neoclassical buildings in Scotland. It holds a truly awe-inspiring location with stunning views of Edinburgh.
The Royal High School Preservation Trust (RHSPT) was formed in 2015 to conserve the history and heritage of the former Royal High School for cultural and community benefit commensurate with the building’s history and Category A-listing and UNESCO World Heritage site status.
The building has not had a permanent use since 1968 but the RHSPT has bold plans to redevelop the building through a £69m capital project into a cultural destination and iconic arts venue. It will become the National Centre for Music, where innovative programming, partnerships with our city’s festivals, and collaborations with Scotland’s talented musicians and performing companies will generate a vibrant creative energy every day.

Harmeny Education Trust is a charitable organisation providing therapeutic care and education to children who have experienced early years trauma through abuse, neglect and family disruption, referred from all over Scotland. We currently work with children and young people aged 5-18, both on a day and all-year-round residential basis.
Our core service comprises:
• An education service, which includes an outdoor learning team.
• A care service, with five residential cottages.
• Support services, made up of finance, estates, catering and domestic, fundraising, IT, HR, learning and development, and admin teams.
Children who come to Harmeny often have severe attachment disorders, have suffered some form of early years trauma leading to high levels of anxiety and difficulty in managing their behaviour, as well as a range of complex needs. Through highly therapeutic care and education programmes, we help children to gain the skills and resilience to lead healthy and happy adult lives.
We are registered with the Scottish Social Services Council, General Teaching Council for Scotland, Care Inspectorate, Education Scotland, and The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR).
Harmeny is situated in a beautiful 35-acre woodland estate, which includes a community garden, orchard, wildlife habitats, children’s play areas and a mountain bike track. Harmeny is located in Balerno on the outskirts of Edinburgh, at the foot of the Pentland Hills; we are easily accessible by bus and there is ample parking.
We are seeking new Trustees to join the organisation and oversee its governance, and we are particularly keen to find candidates with knowledge and experience in any of the following:
• social work/ residential care;
• digital transformation;
• children and families research;
• therapeutic work with children and young people;
• experience of care growing up directly or indirectly; or
• health, ideally in the area of mental health.
Trustees are expected to prepare for and attend four Board meetings per year. Meetings are ideally in-person, albeit we can accommodate remote attendance as required. Additional meetings may be held for urgent matters that do not fit with the set calendar of meetings.
Trustees are also expected to be involved in other matters, for example to join a sub-committee relevant to their skill set or working group, take part in a recruitment panel, attend Harmeny events or support Harmeny’s work externally. Sub-committees meet in advance of the main meetings for a shorter duration, and are generally conducted virtually.
Harmeny is committed to equality of opportunity and the promotion of diversity, including in relation to its Board. We welcome applications from all parts of society, and we encourage applications from individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds and those who are care-experienced.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of Trustees in a friendly organisation making a difference to the lives of some of Scotland’s most remarkable children. Support and mentoring can be provided to the successful candidate, particularly those who may be early in their career and/or lacking experience in acting as a board member. An induction programme will be provided.
A fuller job description and person specification can be found using the link below. Harmeny is a values-led organisation and a good fit with our ethos is as important to us as having relevant experience.
There is no remuneration attached to the role but out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
