Join FSEM as a Moving Medicine Patients Project Coordinator, supporting delivery of national programmes that help people with long-term health conditions become more active. This varied role involves coordinating projects, working with partners across healthcare and community sectors, and supporting events, communications, and evaluation. You’ll play a key part in reducing health inequalities and embedding physical activity into everyday care within a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

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 compassionate, motivated and engaging Group Facilitators to support the delivery of the project.

Group Facilitators will play a hands-on role in delivering high-quality group activities for young people. Working under the guidance and supervision of the CashBack Connections Coordinator, they will help create safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces where young people feel supported, heard and encouraged to engage positively.

Successful candidates will work closely with Service Managers, Family Support Workers, Volunteers and Coordinators 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 supporting volunteers, maintaining strong safeguarding practice and ensuring all activity is impactful and aligned with COVEY’s values. For young people with more complex or intersecting needs, the Facilitator will work with the Coordinator to refer into COVEY’s Family Support team who will deliver integrated, whole-family interventions. This will include providing targeted support during periods of heightened risk, or early intervention to prevent escalation to crisis.

The East Lammermuir community has developed an ambitious Local Place Plan, shaped through extensive community engagement and a built on through a series of themed workshops. This has resulted in four key community priorities: biodiversity restoration, active travel, energy efficiency, and community transport. These priorities are supported by five detailed reports, which provide the evidence base and practical recommendations to guide delivery.

The community is now entering a critical phase: moving from planning to implementation. With significant community benefit funding becoming available, there is a strong opportunity to deliver meaningful, coordinated progress against these ambitions.

The East Lammermuir Community Development Officer role has been created in response to this need. It will provide dedicated capacity to coordinate delivery, align funding and partnerships, and ensure that community priorities are progressed in a structured, collaborative, and impactful way.

We are excited to have the opportunity to recruit new members to join our Board in 2026.

The Board of Directors is ultimately accountable for the smooth operation of the organisation, ensuring its long-term financial stability and the delivery of its charitable objectives. It needs to provide leadership, set strategic direction, exercise effective control and monitor performance. Companies House publicly lists our board members, and the Office of the Scottish Charitable Regulator lists charitable trustees.

The board meets every 6 weeks, either face-to-face, via online platforms, or as a hybrid of the two.

The duration of Board meetings is usually less than 2 hours.

All relevant papers are forwarded in advance by email and can be printed in hard copy before the meeting.

Being a trustee is a voluntary role, but Community InfoSource will cover relevant out-of-pocket travel and other expenses that would allow you to attend meetings.

All new trustees are appointed subject to a six-month probationary period
