Jobs in Inverclyde Central, Inverclyde

Ocean Youth Trust is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Head of Income Generation to lead our fundraising and wider income generation team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a long-standing outdoor education charity to lead the development and delivery of an income generation strategy that will build on our sustainability and ensure we are delivering innovative and impactful outdoor education for young people in Scotland.

Ocean Youth Trust Scotland is a charity providing adventure and youth work on the waves for over 600 young people each year.

We’ve been operating for more than 25 years and provide a number of different programmes supporting learning and youth work outcomes. We are first and foremost a youth work organisation but delivering our programme at sea provides a challenging environment and accelerates impact for young people.

We are looking to appoint a part-time Project Worker 1 within our Thrive Service. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced worker to join Barnardo's and support service delivery within our children and young people's disability service.

We are seeking individuals who are keen to develop their experience of supporting children and young people through groupwork and on a 1-1 basis at our service base. The Thrive service operates Monday – Thursday from after school until early evening to 7pm. The work pattern each week would be 24 hours over Monday – Thursday from 1.30 – 7.30pm.

General responsibilities and requirements

• HNC Social Care or equivalent
• Previous experience of working with children and young people
• Have experience of developing and facilitating groupwork
• Being creative, dynamic and flexible to meet the needs of children and young people
• Working effectively as part of a team
• Experience and knowledge of applying safeguarding policies and procedures
• An understanding of the adversities experienced by children, young people and families, particularly around disability and ASN
• Complete assessments, care plans and maintain recordings in line with local and organisational policy
• Work collaboratively and flexibly with partners and alongside children, young people and families to shape their support

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
