We are seeking a full-time Family Support Development Officer to lead our Inverclyde Family Support Service.

This post will develop, deliver, support and promote a range of family support and engagement for family members aged 16+ years who are affected by someone else’s substance use. The post is supported by a Family Support Worker, and works in partnership with partner organisations, families and communities. This is a fixed term post to 31 March 2027 (potential extension subject to funding).

The post is based in Inverclyde (main base: Greenock) and has an area-wide remit involving significant travel throughout the area and some to our offices in Glasgow. It is expected that the post holder will be required to work some evenings and occasional weekends. Due to the nature of this post, access to a car is essential. This post will be part of Scottish Families’ staff team and be supervised by the Senior Family Support Development Officer.

We are seeking applicants with a degree in a relevant subject or equivalent professional qualification, and experience of direct client work, group work, and direct work with families, as well as identifying and managing risk. Candidates should demonstrate knowledge of issues for families affected by substance use, values underpinning advocacy, and an understanding of the voluntary sector. The ability to encourage and promote the development of family support groups, and effectively and sensitively advocate for others, are essential, as well as strong organisational skills and interpersonal and communication skills.

CashBack Connections supports young people (aged 10-16) across deprived areas of Lanarkshire who are at risk of involvement in antisocial behaviour/offending by providing one-to-one and group befriending/mentoring opportunities. The project aims to guide young people away from negative influences and towards positive pathways of their choosing, while also supporting families facing challenges such as poverty, poor mental health, or substance misuse.

Young people will take part in activities that interest them, helping them to gain new experiences, develop skills, build confidence, and (importantly) have fun. Alongside developing trusting relationships with volunteers and peers, the project will reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and strengthen community connections. Where appropriate, families will also be offered support to address barriers affecting a young person’s progress.

With the delivery of the project about to begin, COVEY is now seeking a compassionate, skilled and proactive CashBack Connections Coordinator to lead the delivery of the project.

The CashBack Connections Coordinator will develop and deliver a blend of group support and one-to-one befriending and mentoring support, using a relationship-based and trauma-informed approach to build trust, strengthen resilience and promote positive engagement.

They will work closely with Service Managers, Family Support Workers, Volunteers and Group Facilitators to ensure safe, effective and high-quality delivery that aims to reduce the risk of antisocial behaviour/offending, helping young people to realise their potential and move towards education/training or employment.

A key part of the role will involve coordinating and supporting Volunteers and Group Facilitators, maintaining strong safeguarding practice and ensuring all activity is impactful and aligned with COVEY’s values. For young people with more complex needs, the Coordinator will collaborate with COVEY’s Family Support team to provide integrated, whole-family interventions, including more intensive support during periods of heightened risk or early intervention to prevent escalation.

As this is a new project, the role offers an exciting opportunity to bring fresh ideas, shape the development of CashBack Connections and directly influence the positive outcomes we aim to achieve for disadvantaged young people and their families.

About Scran Academy

Our Vision is a Scotland where every young person has access to their human right of an education that meets their needs, unlocks their aspirations, and enables a future with dignity.

We are on a mission to see every young person, regardless of background or barrier, realise their full potential in learning, work and life. Too many young people in our most challenged communities never realise their talents or aspirations due to the effects of social inequality and poverty. Scran Academy exists to change that.

We are a pioneering youth work catering charity, supporting young people facing barriers to success using the power of food, cooking and hospitality. We operate an innovative social enterprise model, utilising a busy food truck and two cafes in NHS sites across Edinburgh to support several relational education and employment programmes. Our approach is to use meaningful learning and work experiences in supportive real-life settings to empower young people to become leaders in their own lives..

About the Candidate

This is a role for people who are passionate about making transformative change in the lives of young people.

Scran Academy is in a phase of exciting growth. Our strategic priorities are to Scale Sustainably, develop Smarter Solutions and provide Support Sooner for young people in Edinburgh’s most challenged communities.

We are building towards an organisation that can support young people across every high school in Edinburgh, delivering reflexive, effective programmes that prevent crisis and create real opportunity.

We are looking for trustees who are energised by this ambition and ready to help lift Scran into its next phase. You will bring experience, perspective and strategic expertise, alongside a clear focus on the needs, potential and outcomes of the young people we support.

We are open to meeting prospective trustees with a broad range of experiences, but would be particularly interested in meeting people with experience in:

• Marketing, PR and communications

Role Purpose

The purpose of a Trustee at Scran Academy is to provide strategic oversight and sound judgement as the organisation grows in scale, reach and complexity.

Working with fellow trustees, office bearers and the leadership team, you will help ensure that Scran’s development remains focused, sustainable and aligned to its purpose.

This includes supporting the organisation to make robust decisions that enable expansion, strengthening its model and maintaining the quality and integrity of its work as it grows.

This role is critical to changing young people’s lives by supporting the delivery of Scran Academy’s Academy Programme, our structured, year-long alternative education provision for young people disengaged from mainstream schooling.

The programme takes an innovative blended approach, combining youth work, skills-building, accredited learning, and social enterprise work placements, supporting young people to re-engage with learning and progress to positive destinations.

About the Candidate

We are looking for an experienced and committed youth work or community education practitioner who is motivated by supporting young people to engage, learn and progress within a structured, year-long programme.

The successful candidate will be confident working with young people who may be ambivalent about education, attendance or authority, and comfortable working to routines, timetables and clear expectations. They will use youth work relationships to build trust, consistency and motivation, balancing warmth with appropriate challenge.

They will have a strong understanding of youth work principles, safeguarding and professional boundaries, and will work collaboratively as part of a strong, trusting team.

They will also share Scran Academy’s values, and be motivated by supporting young people to make positive change in their own lives.

Working closely with the Scransitions Programme Lead, this role focuses on direct 121 support, helping young people to gain skills, confidence, and self-belief, and unlocking their aspirations toward a positive future.

About the Candidate

This role is suitable for an experienced youth work or CLD professional passionate about supporting young people to become leaders in their own lives.

We are looking for a skilled and compassionate youth work or employability practitioner with experience of intensive 121 support, who is confident working with young people facing multiple barriers to progression.

The successful candidate will be organised, resilient and relational, able to build trust and respect with young people, whilst prioritising a diversity of presenting needs. They will be confident working within clear programme phases, tracking progress and responding to risk, while maintaining strong professional boundaries.

They will also share Scran Academy’s values, and be motivated by supporting young people to make positive change in their own lives.
