About Thrive Early:

Citizens Advice Scotland, Home-Start UK, and Save the Children UK are working in partnership to deliver Thrive Early, a programme aligned with the Scottish Government's Tackling Child Poverty Delivery Plan.

The aim of Thrive Early is to prevent and mitigate the impacts of poverty for families with children under five years of age by providing integrated, whole family support within local communities.

The project addresses the root causes and effects of poverty by improving families' financial wellbeing, emotional resilience, social connections, and access to services. Families receive practical and emotional support from Home-Start, alongside expert financial, welfare, and holistic advice from Citizens Advice. Support is tailored to individual family needs and provided for as long as required.

A key feature of Thrive Early is its commitment to embedding the voices and experiences of families into both service development and wider systems change. This work is led by Save the Children UK, ensuring that lived experience drives continuous improvement and informs national policy and practice.

Job purpose:

The Thrive Early Family Adviser role combines elements of a Generalist Adviser and Caseworker, delivering seamless, holistic support to families in close partnership with Home-Start colleagues and other project partners. The role focuses on building trusted relationships with families who may be experiencing significant barriers to engaging with advice services. Many families supported through Thrive Early may not feel ready or able to access traditional advice channels. As a result, establishing trust, confidence, and sustained engagement is a critical part of the role. Family Advisers work with families over the medium to long term, providing tailored advice, advocacy, and practical support to help them move towards greater financial security and wellbeing. The postholder will also work collaboratively with Save the Children UK to support family participation activities and ensure that lived experience informs service improvement and project learning.

About BEACON:

Citizens Advice Edinburgh, Capital City Partnership, Fife Gingerbread, Midlothian Sure Start, Circle, Passion4Fusion, The Poverty Alliance and Glasgow Caledonian University are working in partnership to deliver BEACON, a service designed to tackle the roots cause of poverty experienced by ethnically diverse families.

BEACON — Building Equity, Accessibility and Connecting Opportunities Network — will support 200 ethnically diverse families and up to 600 individuals through a relational, wrap-around whole-family keyworker model.

The project will ensure support is available where and when families need it across the Edinburgh and Southeast Scotland region.

Each partner in the consortium will provide additional capacity and specialist expertise to reach ethnically diverse families and improve engagement and outcomes.

Maximising Income and Reducing Barriers to Employment: Citizens Advice Advisers will provide specialist advice, focused on helping families address financial, welfare rights, debt and immigration-related barriers that can prevent them from stabilising household circumstances and progressing towards longer-term outcomes.

You will provide specialist financial, welfare rights, debt and immigration advice that complements whole family keyworker support. This is targeted at low-income ethnically diverse families, particularly those facing overlapping barriers to poverty reduction and those falling within Scottish child poverty priority family types.

You will support the Advice Service Manager in capacity building, strengthening other organisations and advisers to work more effectively with families facing immigration barriers, including the no recourse to public funds condition. This will involve delivering presentations and creating and updating resources.

The overall role of Citizens Advice therefore strengthens the BEACON model by helping families address immediate financial and advice-related pressures while supporting wider outcomes around stability, wellbeing, income maximisation and progression.

This is an excellent opportunity to join one of the cities leading charities and make a substantial contribution to your local community.

Income generation lead/Business manager

The Ferret is Scotland’s award-winning investigative platform. We’re owned by our members, not by billionaires or corporations, and our focus is on investigating the powerful and holding them to account.

We operate differently to most media organisations. We are a not-for-profit co-operative, which means our members help to shape some of our decisions. We also have a non-hierarchical team, which means the big decisions are made

collectively.

After 10 successful years, we’re taking The Ferret to the next level, and we’re looking for someone to come on board to help us grow and develop. We’re looking for a talented business manager who can improve our resilience as an organisation over the coming years, ensure our financial stability, and make sure we continue serving our members and readers.

Working three days per week, you’ll lead on our income generation from grants, develop our organisational strategy in collaboration with the team, oversee our budgets and liaise with our board and staff to agree annual plans and track our progress.

You’ll be a self-starter, used to working without supervision and have an entrepreneurial nature and a creative approach. We’re looking for a combination of great project management skills, plenty of experience in partnership working and

funding expertise. While knowledge of the independent media space is an advantage, we can teach you what you need to know.

As our slogan goes, our journalism changes things. This is an opportunity to help us fulfill that mission.

About the role

You will look after many of the non-editorial duties required to run The Ferret. A key part of your role will also be leading our fundraising strategy. You’ll seek out new revenue funding streams in the UK, Europe and internationally, and work alongside our editorial team to develop ideas and projects that match with funding opportunities, in line with The Ferret’s aims and ethical guidelines.

Duties include:

Funding and other income generation

• Carrying out research to identify funding opportunities and conducting due diligence.
• Coordinating and tracking progress on applications and responses.
• Assisting in reporting on grants, ensuring that deadlines are met and budgets are adhered to.

Business plan and budget

• Leading the development of organisational strategy, business plan and budget, collaborating with co-editors, the finance lead and board to agree annual plans and track and report on progress throughout the year.
• Leading on producing The Ferret’s annual review in collaboration with editorial and finance colleagues.

Operations

• Developing partnership agreements for funded partnerships.
• Developing, maintaining and integrating organisational policies in line with best practice and schedule for regular review.
• Acting as the main point for contact for external contractors or agencies
• Collaborating with colleagues to improve and streamline systems and processes where possible.

Board support

• Acting as the main point of contact for board members in relation to governance and compliance.
• Providing support to board chairs and directors.

Who are we looking for?

Essential experience

• A strong track record of driving income generation strategy and successful fundraising, ideally in the context of a member-led organisation in Scotland.
• An understanding of the media landscape and passion for the power of journalism.
• Demonstrable experience of collaborative working across diverse teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills, confident in working with a broad range of people.
• Experience of financial management.
• A self-starter, with an entrepreneurial mindset, able to work with minimal supervision.
• Demonstrable experience managing projects and using influence to keep things on track.
• Commitment to promoting equality, inclusion and diversity across the organisation.

Desirable experience

• Knowledge of the independent media sector
• An understanding of how to support a voluntary board working in a related
• sector, such as media, non-profits, social enterprises or co-operatives.
• Experience developing membership growth and engagement strategies.
• Experience administering accounting and HR software.
• Competence with Google Suite and other cloud tools such as Slack and Trello
• needed for remote working
• Experience of organising events.

Our values

We are a value-driven organisation. We believe in transparency, we treasure accuracy and our journalism is non-partisan, and not-for-profit. The successful candidate will need to have a clear understanding of our culture, and a shared belief in its importance.

We are a non-hierarchical organisation with oversight provided by our board.

Employees have a say in the future of the organisation, and are expected to work both as part of a team and independently.

This role allows the successful candidate to help shape the future of our organisation, at a crucial time in politics and media.

Our offer

The salary is £37,700 (pro-rata). This is a part time role, working three days a week, on an initial one-year contract. It is anticipated that this will be renewed, subject to funding. It includes 21 days of paid annual leave, travel expenses and sick leave.

You can work remotely, or there is a community newsroom in Glasgow where you can work alongside other team members. There is a small allowance offered if you don’t live close enough to our newsroom. Our team aims to meet in person (usually Glasgow or Edinburgh) every two months and you will be expected to attend these meetings.

About the Worker Support Centre

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scottish charity working in partnership with migrant workers at risk of exploitation across Scotland to secure their rights, challenge labour exploitation, build collective power, and drive lasting law and policy change. We are an evidence-led, worker-driven organisation with strong governance and a growing track record of policy impact. We're building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work — no matter our job or nationality.

WSC operates a worker-driven structure that places migrant workers at the centre of our governance and decision-making. We deliver casework alongside worker-led organising and policy advocacy, supporting migrant workers in seasonal agriculture and social care to meet basic needs and to understand and exercise their rights, including through our Worker Power programme, which builds solidarity between workers and within communities.

About the role

The Communications and Narratives Lead will work closely with, and be line managed by, the Executive Director, who sets the strategic direction, editorial oversight and quality standards for WSC's communications.

The postholder will lead the day-to-day delivery of WSC's communications and narrative change activity, creating compelling content across digital, print and social channels, supporting media and press work, and playing a central role in delivering WSC's Communications Strategy. This includes helping to build and mobilise a worker-led movement, supporting coalition and ally relationships, and delivering campaign moments that build public and political support for decent work for all.

This is a lead role for someone who combines significant, demonstrable experience in communications with a genuine interest in organising, campaigning and movement-building. We are looking for someone with relevant professional training or development, for example in media relations, campaigning or organising, or framing and narrative approaches, who can bring self-starting, leadership to this role.

We are looking for a new Change Programmes Lead to join the FST Team!

Scotland’s performing arts sector is full of talented people, ambitious organisations and inspiring ideas. It also faces significant opportunities and challenges that no single organisation can address alone. Increasingly, progress depends on bringing people together, building partnerships and turning shared ambitions into practical action.

That’s why this role matters.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking, partnership-building and practical delivery to help shape programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector. Someone who can understand complex challenges, build trusted relationships, develop realistic plans and ensure ideas are followed through to meaningful outcomes.

The Change Programmes Lead plays a key role in helping FST turn ideas into action.

Working closely with members, partners and colleagues, you’ll identify opportunities for positive change, develop practical responses and lead programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Some programmes are already well established and ready to grow. Others are emerging ideas that require research, partnership development and careful planning. This role therefore combines strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping shape both current and future areas of work.

Current programmes span areas such as workforce development, mentoring, accessibility, environmental sustainability, organisational resilience and leadership development. While every programme is different, they all share a common purpose: helping Scotland’s performing arts sector become stronger, more connected and better equipped for the future.

This isn’t simply a project management role. It’s about understanding complex challenges, bringing people together, building trusted relationships and creating the conditions for meaningful change. You’ll work across organisations, balancing different perspectives while maintaining a clear focus on shared ambitions and tangible outcomes.

Current Programmes & Priorities

The Change Programmes portfolio continues to evolve in response to member needs and emerging opportunities. Some of the current programmes and workstreams you’ll help lead and develop include:

Bursaries & Professional Development

Leading FST’s professional development bursary programme while exploring opportunities to strengthen its impact, reach and long-term sustainability.

Mentoring & Coaching

Refreshing FST’s mentoring offer through reconnecting previous participants, piloting new models and lighter-touch support surgeries and peer learning.

Workforce Development & Training

Developing and delivering programmes around technical skills, leadership, sustainability and Fair Work through partnerships and targeted professional development opportunities.

Access & Inclusion

Working with Birds of Paradise, Creative Scotland and sector partners to support the future development of Access Scottish Theatre, Scotland’s engagement with the UK-wide All-In programme and wider accessibility infrastructure.

Emerging Needs & Opportunities

Working with FST members and partners to identify new priorities, develop collaborative initiatives and secure partnerships and funding that support the future development of Scotland’s performing arts sector.
