About EmilyTest

EmilyTest is a small Scottish charity working to tackle Gender Based Violence (GBV) in education. Funded by the Scottish Government and the National Lottery, we work with schools, colleges and universities to support the development of effective policies, procedures and practices in relation to GBV prevention, intervention and support.

Our aim is to ensure that every young person can live, work and study free from the harms and threats of GBV and, where harm does occur, that they receive safe, trauma-informed and responsible support.

Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated Charter & Network Officer (1 x part-time post) to join our dynamic and friendly team based in Glasgow city centre.

The Charter & Network Officer will play a key role in the delivery of the EmilyTest GBV Charter in universities and colleges across Scotland and support the coordination and development of the EmilyTest Network.

Working closely with the Charter team, you will support the roll-out and implementation of the GBV Charter, helping universities and colleges to improve their policies, practices and procedures in relation to GBV prevention, intervention and support. You will support institutions to meet each of the 42 minimum standards within the Charter, developing customised plans and assisting them in their efforts towards achieving the Charter award.

Alongside this, you will support the EmilyTest Network - a collaborative forum that brings colleges and universities together to share learning, good practice and find collective solutions in tackling GBV in all its forms.

Through building strong, trusted relationships with Charter and Network institutions, you will provide efficient, effective and high-quality support.

The post will be subject to a 6-month trial period.

Full support and a warm welcome from the trustee team are guaranteed.

Why This Matters

You’ll help to oversee shop operations – from pricing and stock rotation to displays and local income-generating events, along with playing a key part in recruiting, developing and guiding Community Shop Managers.

Financial responsibility is central, following procedures, reviewing shop accounts and supporting managers to identify opportunities and reduce costs. Success means helping shops meet and exceed targets, increasing Shelter’s contribution and ensuring vibrant, well-run shops that maximise impact.

About you

We’re looking for an experienced leader who can inspire and motivate teams to deliver outstanding results. You’ll thrive in a varied role, bringing energy and creativity to shop environments, helping teams attract customers and donors, and deepening their knowledge of Shelter’s mission. With strong influencing skills, you’ll train, develop and empower people to run successful shops that raise vital funds.

To succeed, you’ll need experience managing staff or volunteers, delivering excellent customer service, overseeing multiple sites and working with budgets. You’ll also be enterprising and innovative, with the ability to engage communities and have knowledge of charity retail and how to grow sales.

Our worker engagement informs policy change activity to address harms faced by those in high-risk work. In 2023 and 2024 WSC activities were targeted at workers in seasonal agriculture on the UK Seasonal Worker visa (SWV). During this time, we provided advice, support, and information to 1031 people in relation to the SWV. More recently we have expanded our work to engage workers in health and social care and to advance care workers’ rights through worker education and power sessions.
