Do you want to be part of something life changing?

At Columba 1400, we enable young people, especially those from tough realities, and the key adults in their lives to lead lives of purpose, meaning and contribution. We believe everyone already holds greatness within them, and your role would be to help them discover it.

If you are someone who comes alive when working with people; someone who can create warm, brave spaces where young people and adults feel seen, listened to, valued, and able to explore who they are and who they might yet become, then you then you may be exactly who we are looking for.

What makes this role special?

You will contribute to changing lives, schools and communities by providing powerful, heart to heart facilitation for young people and key adults in their lives, guiding them through transformational, values based leadership experiences across each phase of the Columban journey.

You will deliver these experiences in schools and communities across Scotland, and at our breathtaking purpose-built Community and International Leadership Centre in Staffin on the Isle of Skye.

Your ideas, insight and creativity will help us continually evolve and enhance the Columban experience so that each leadership experience becomes a catalyst for real, lasting change.

You will lead and build meaningful relationships with our trusted partners, ensuring every interaction reflects our warmth of welcome, warmth of hospitality and the warmth of being on a shared journey - our founding principles.

You will be part of a warm and supportive team, united by purpose and committed to each other’s growth through our approach to values-based leadership.

About you

You are an experienced facilitator who brings energy, presence, and curiosity into every session. You create the conditions for trust, hope and belonging, and you help people discover their values, their skills, and their confidence.

You are also a natural relationship builder, confident in leading partnerships and nurturing the kind of trusting, values based relationships that allow real change lasting to flourish.

You communicate with warmth and clarity. You are adaptable, compassionate, reflective and energised by work that genuinely transforms lives and communities.
