Who we are:

SU Scotland has a distinct position in children’s and youth ministry across Scotland, seeking to work in unity with churches, Christian youth organisations and Trusts. Our vision is to see every child and young people of Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus. We are a national charity, with around 140 staff and over 2,500 volunteers. Our activities take place in schools, outdoor activity centres, and local communities.

Associate Trusts play an integral part in all of this.

The first Associate Trust began in 1994 as a partnership between local churches and SU Scotland in a local community enabling children and young people to discover God’s love and grow in their faith. Since then, there have been many Associate Trusts partnering with SU Scotland, resulting in thousands of children and young people having the opportunity to “discover, explore, respond and flourish.”

We are seeking a part-time (0.8 FTE) Associate Trust Network Lead to join our Local Ministries Team, to drive the strategic expansion of the Associate Trust network, as well as to resource existing Trusts, overseeing and strengthening current infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take an active role in visiting Associate Trusts and keep abreast with key priorities and challenges, as well as gaining an understanding of the Associate Trusts’ ministry through interaction with children and young people they work with.
• Develop a three year strategy to expand the Associate Trust network.
• Develop and coordinate training for Associate Trusts in consultation and in conjunction with the Local Ministries Management Team and the SU Scotland Learning Manager.
• Provide support and guidance with regards to relevant policies and procedures, e.g. HR, Finance, GDPR, Safeguarding.
• Develop ministry partnership for this post, inviting potential donors and prayer supporters to partner with you in this ministry.

Who we are looking for:

The successful applicant will have high levels of initiative, proven experience of charity sector governance and project management. Strong interpersonal and communications skills are also key with the ability to develop positive relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

For this post, it is important that you are able to demonstrate a commitment to SU Scotland’s ethos, working principles and vision. It is also an Occupational Requirement (Equality Act - part 1, schedule 9), that the post-holder is a committed Christian.
