About FOSS: Friends of Scottish Settlers (FOSS - SC050254) envisions a Falkirk District that is multicultural, multilingual, and welcoming, where local people, organisations, and services are equipped, supported, and willing to cultivate wellbeing, solidarity, community, curiosity, and respect among newcomers and longtime residents. Through befriending and other voluntary activities, FOSS enables newcomers to Falkirk District to build links and bridges with other locals, shaping and making use of the knowledge, networks and services we all need to live full, self-determined lives.
FOSS builds fruitful relationships through a culture of integrity, respect, solidarity, empowerment, and welcome. We began as an informal befriending project for resettled Syrian families in 2016, and, primarily through a befriending model, now engage a range of newcomers to Falkirk District including refugees and people in the asylum system. With partnership working, targeted activities and programmes, fundraising, advocacy, and good information, FOSS enables local volunteers and newcomers to strengthen and proliferate support networks within our communities. This also helps us to act constructively together in response to rapidly changing world events and policy that impact our lives.
Purpose of the post: The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the strategic leadership, operational management, and sustainability of FOSS.
