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.

U-evolve is an Edinburgh mental health charity for 11–21-year-olds. Founded in 2015, we support over 200 young people annually with free to access to mental health support. Each year we deliver over 1,000 hours of individual support to help Edinburgh’s young people feel better. We’re currently hiring for a Mental Health Coach to join our Service Delivery team.

About the role

We are recruiting for an additional Mental Health Coach to join our team to help us meet demand. The coach will provide 1:1 support for young people, as well as supporting our groupwork and drop-in programmes. Our Mental Health Coaching is person centered, strengths based and incorporates counselling, coaching and youth work approaches. The aim of all our support services is to help young people to have improved mental health and to feel better. Through mental health coaching we help the young people to learn techniques to manage their wellbeing and work closely with community partners to provide a holistic service.

Who are we looking for

We want to recruit people to join our team who share our vision, values, and passion to support young people to thrive. It is also important to us that you are someone who learns from the young people you support and can help our young people’s voices to be heard. We are looking for people who have experience in working with young people aged 11 – 21, from a range of backgrounds including youth work, mental health services, support work and education.

essential for this role as full training and ongoing development will be provided. We are an organisation working with trauma and so it is important that you are willing to take part in regular group reflective practice to ensure our work is ethically sound as well as to look after your own wellbeing. As much of our work supports young people in North Edinburgh, we would also welcome people with experience or knowledge of living or working within this community.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement

U-evolve is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all young people feel safe, respected, and supported. We are equally committed to building a diverse staff team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the sector, and are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible recruitment process for all.

Working at U-evolve

We are a small team of nine. We value learning and development and view this as a crucial element of mental health support. As such all staff are trauma skilled and trained, alongside taking part in a full and rich annual training programme. All service delivery staff receive extensive and relevant supervision to support the work they do.

Benefits

• Generous holiday package
• Enhanced sick pay
• Flexible working patterns
• Staff wellbeing scheme
