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 new role in our Senior Leadership Team – Head of Service.

About the Role

This is an exciting time to join U-evolve, following the launch of our new strategy in 2025 and a period of continued growth and expansion. As our services develop and new programmes are introduced, we are creating a Head of Services role as part of a newly established Senior Leadership Team, alongside our Fundraising Lead. This role will play a key part in supporting the CEO to focus on strategic leadership by taking responsibility for the day-to-day management and coordination of service delivery. It is a new and evolving position, offering a genuine opportunity to shape how services are delivered and developed as the organisation grows. The role provides the chance to make a real difference in the lives of children and young people, while also offering strong opportunities for personal and professional development within an organisation that values learning and continuous improvement.

Who Are We Looking For

We are looking for someone who brings strong experience of working with children and young people, with a good understanding of the challenges they face and the support they need. You will be passionate about young people’s mental health and committed to delivering support in a trauma-informed, safe, and inclusive way, ensuring services are responsive to individual needs. This role requires someone who is highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities, while also being flexible, reflective, responsive, and comfortable thinking on your feet in an ever-changing environment. You will be a supportive and approachable leader, able to build strong relationships with staff and help them to grow and flourish in their roles. Using your experience, you will provide guidance, supervision, and confidence to the team, helping to maintain high standards of practice across all services.

We are looking for someone who is proactive, collaborative, and motivated to make a real difference, and who is excited by the opportunity to shape and develop services as U-evolve continues to grow.

• Staff wellbeing scheme
• Learning and Development Policy to support staff training and development.
• Opportunity to contribute to the growth and impact of our work

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

• Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
• Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
• Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
• Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:

• Personal development and employability programmes
• Self-help coaching
• Supported accommodation
• Care at home
• Housing support
• Befriending
• Social cafes

The Service

The Link Academy team works primarily with people with complex backgrounds. The experiences of these young people often result in low self-esteem and confidence, poor mental health and a pattern of destructive behaviours. Because of this, these young people find it difficult to manage key transitions such as moving into work or training, into a tenancy or leaving care. The service works hard and creatively to maintain the early engagement of participants. By offering mental health and wellbeing programmes, independent living skills and a wide range of qualifications to support their progression, we give young people the tools to better manage their own mental health. Doing so helps them break negative and destructive cycles of behaviour and thinking, with the aim of putting them on the path to having the best life possible. Staff are trained in using a trauma-informed approach to support young people to build confidence, develop resilience and realise their goals for the future.

The Job

The Pause, Think, Grow (Navigating Positive Futures) is a preventive programme which focuses on supporting young people at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system through the provision of one-to-one and group-based support. The Development Worker will have a background in criminal justice and will support young people facing issues including youth crime, antisocial behaviour, family breakdown and school-related difficulties, to achieve their goals and aspirations, providing them with practical tools and techniques to overcome the challenges they are facing. We welcome applications from people with lived experience and professional experience.

The Development Workers will also provide support to parents and caregivers, as well as lead a team of peer mentor volunteers (16-24) who will use their own experiences of the criminal justice system to positively influence young people supported through the programme.

About You

You are passionate about supporting young people to overcome challenges and achieve positive outcomes, particularly those involved in or affected by the criminal justice system. You will be educated to SCQF Level 7 (HNC or equivalent); however, we actively welcome applicants with relevant lived experience who may not hold formal qualifications, as training and qualifications will be supported within the role. In these cases, you must have demonstrable experience of working with this client group.

You will have a minimum of three years’ professional experience in youth work, including direct experience of working with young people in a criminal justice setting. You are skilled at developing, shaping, and delivering engaging programmes that respond to the current challenges facing young people, using a trauma-informed and relationship-based approach.

You are confident in building positive, trusting relationships with young people and have experience creating or identifying resources for one-to-one work and group delivery, including the effective use of digital tools and resources. You will also have experience of building and sustaining partnerships with a range of stakeholders.

You bring a good understanding of current Scottish policies and the social, economic, and systemic challenges affecting young people and families in Scotland. You are highly organised, with excellent planning skills, and are an effective communicator, confident in both oral presentations and written reporting. A good working knowledge of ICT is essential.

You are a collaborative team player with a flexible, can-do attitude, willing to work across different areas as required. Occasional evening or weekend work may be necessary to support specific training programmes or events, although this sits outside normal delivery hours.
