Be part of our movement for change. We are excited to announce that we are seeking a board of trustees to support Each and Every Child through the next step in its development as a new independent charitable organisation - Each and Every Child SCIO.

Over the past 6 years, Each and Every Child has supported individuals and organisations across Scotland to change how they communicate about care and care experience in order to challenge unhelpful assumptions, stereotypes and mindsets around care and care experience that can further stigma and discrimination. In partnership with FrameWorks UK, we have shared insights into how we can effectively shift public ways of thinking, countering unhelpful and stigmatising mindsets and building support for solutions.

This is our next step. As a new, independent charity we aim to support the use of in-depth framing research and robustly evidenced insights combined with our experience of building relationships, providing advice, facilitating conversations and mobilising action to extend this work to other social issues impacting people’s lives. We will also ensure that our work to shift narratives around care experience continues to strengthen and adapt to new challenges.

We are looking to appoint a hands-on, passionate and values-driven board of trustees to support the leadership of the initiative at this crucial transition. We are also looking to appoint a Chair of the Board, a Treasurer and a Secretary. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a movement of change and support an exciting and ambitious programme of work that looks to change the story on social inequalities, now and into the future.

We are keen to hear from people who can bring new perspectives and experiences, and who are motivated to drive real change to improve the lives of children, young people and families across Scotland. We welcome applications from people of all abilities and backgrounds. These are voluntary positions, with expenses reimbursed.

The knowledge/experience we are seeking for all roles include:

· Lived or living experience of the impact of stigma and inequality on you and/or your family

· Understanding of care experience, trauma and other complex social issues impacting on children, young people and families across Scotland

· Operational experience of supporting children, young people or families, for example in health, social care, education or in the third sector

· Leadership or management experience

· Understanding of narrative change work, including raising awareness of social issues through communications, public affairs or campaigning

· Experience of community development and engagement

· Experience within education or training (with a range of contexts)

You do not need to have experience in all of these areas to apply – we welcome applications from people who have the passion to learn, support and contribute.

The skills and qualities we are seeking include:

· Ability to work effectively as part of a team

· Ability to think strategically across the public and third sectors

· Approachable, open-minded and receptive to change

· Able to consistently attend meetings and make time to read papers in advance

· Understands information such as numerical data in reports and proposals

· Willing to speak up, ask questions and constructively and positively challenge themselves and others

· Acts collaboratively and supports collective decision making
