In Scotland two people die by suicide every day. That’s two too many. At SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health) we support the national ambition of the Scottish Government and COSLA that any child, young person or adult who has thoughts of taking their own life, or is affected by suicide, should be able to get the help they need and feel a sense of hope.

Around since 1923, we are Scotland’s national mental health charity. We are a committed member of the Suicide Prevention Scotland delivery collective, ensuring that lived and living experience is at the forefront of delivering Scotland’s national suicide prevention strategy, Creating Hope Together.

For Scotland’s Mental Health

About the Role

The Lived and Living Experience Panel (LLEP) is a group of people from across Scotland who have lived experience of suicide. Some are people who have been bereaved by suicide. Others are people who have been suicidal in the past, or have been or are currently carers for family members or friends living with suicidal thoughts and behaviours.

The purpose of the LLEP is to ensure that the voice of people with experience of suicide is at the heart of the Creating Hope Together strategy. The panel plays a central role in co-producing Suicide Prevention Scotland’s programme of work.

SAMH hosts the LLEP on behalf of Suicide Prevention Scotland. The work of the panel is supported by the Lived and Living Experience Panel Coordinator and this role, the Safeguarding Officer.

In this role you will manage safeguarding processes and activities that support people with lived experience to be directly involved and influence positive change in suicide prevention work.

We are looking for a new Change Programmes Lead to join the FST Team!

Scotland’s performing arts sector is full of talented people, ambitious organisations and inspiring ideas. It also faces significant opportunities and challenges that no single organisation can address alone. Increasingly, progress depends on bringing people together, building partnerships and turning shared ambitions into practical action.

That’s why this role matters.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys combining strategic thinking, partnership-building and practical delivery to help shape programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector. Someone who can understand complex challenges, build trusted relationships, develop realistic plans and ensure ideas are followed through to meaningful outcomes.

The Change Programmes Lead plays a key role in helping FST turn ideas into action.

Working closely with members, partners and colleagues, you’ll identify opportunities for positive change, develop practical responses and lead programmes that strengthen Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Some programmes are already well established and ready to grow. Others are emerging ideas that require research, partnership development and careful planning. This role therefore combines strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping shape both current and future areas of work.

Current programmes span areas such as workforce development, mentoring, accessibility, environmental sustainability, organisational resilience and leadership development. While every programme is different, they all share a common purpose: helping Scotland’s performing arts sector become stronger, more connected and better equipped for the future.

This isn’t simply a project management role. It’s about understanding complex challenges, bringing people together, building trusted relationships and creating the conditions for meaningful change. You’ll work across organisations, balancing different perspectives while maintaining a clear focus on shared ambitions and tangible outcomes.

Current Programmes & Priorities

The Change Programmes portfolio continues to evolve in response to member needs and emerging opportunities. Some of the current programmes and workstreams you’ll help lead and develop include:

Bursaries & Professional Development

Leading FST’s professional development bursary programme while exploring opportunities to strengthen its impact, reach and long-term sustainability.

Mentoring & Coaching

Refreshing FST’s mentoring offer through reconnecting previous participants, piloting new models and lighter-touch support surgeries and peer learning.

Workforce Development & Training

Developing and delivering programmes around technical skills, leadership, sustainability and Fair Work through partnerships and targeted professional development opportunities.

Access & Inclusion

Working with Birds of Paradise, Creative Scotland and sector partners to support the future development of Access Scottish Theatre, Scotland’s engagement with the UK-wide All-In programme and wider accessibility infrastructure.

Emerging Needs & Opportunities

Working with FST members and partners to identify new priorities, develop collaborative initiatives and secure partnerships and funding that support the future development of Scotland’s performing arts sector.

Due to internal promotion, we are excited to share news of an opening for a new Executive within our Partnerships and Philanthropy Team, aligned to Corporate Partnerships.

The Corporate Partnerships team are moving through a period of growth which will set this team up to strategically focus their resources and skill where it is most needed in order to attract, cultivate and retain valuable corporate partnerships.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have skill and experience in the following areas:

• Experience of working in account management in either a fundraising or commercial environment.
• Experience of achieving and exceeding income targets or growing income.
• The ability to seek out, identify and build on opportunities to maximise income.

Why CHAS?

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together. The skill, determination and creative flair of our Fundraising Teams makes this possible.

This is a pivotal moment to join CHAS. We’ve just launched More Than A Hospice - a £20 million appeal to change how Scotland cares for children who will die young, and for the families who love them. Every week, three children in Scotland die from an incurable illness, and advances in medicine mean more children are living longer with complex, life‑shortening conditions - a gift, but one that demands change.

Right now, too many families don’t have real choice throughout their child’s life, or at the end of it - and are sometimes forced into decisions because the care they need isn’t always there when it’s needed. We believe Scotland can - and must - do better. Joining CHAS now means being part of an ambitious appeal that aims to ensure care follows the child - at home, in hospital, or in a hospice so no family faces that moment alone

We offer

• Flexible Working: our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid manner with time split between at home and onsite in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
• Development Opportunities: exposure to a variety of fundraising activities
• Professional Growth: Work with industry leaders in a high-performing team where you will be encouraged and supported to excel and develop your skills.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Including generous annual leave and pension, incremental salary progression, access to Blue Light discounts, and health and wellbeing support.

Join Our Team – Supporting the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Ukrainian Young People

Are you passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people? Do you want to be part of an innovative partnership supporting Ukrainian young people to thrive in their new communities?

U-evolve and The Junction are delighted to be recruiting for two exciting new roles as part of a partnership project providing dedicated mental health and wellbeing support for Ukrainian young people aged 12–21 living in Edinburgh.

Together, our organisations bring over 30 years of experience supporting young people's mental health across the city. Through this new programme, we will deliver accessible, trauma-informed and culturally responsive support that helps Ukrainian young people build resilience, improve their mental health and wellbeing, strengthen social connections and access the support they need.

Working closely with Ukrainian communities, local organisations and young people themselves, this project will combine individual and group wellbeing support with community engagement and service development to ensure support is shaped by the voices and experiences of the young people it serves.

This exciting new role will lead on building relationships with Ukrainian communities, partner organisations and local services across Edinburgh to ensure the programme reaches those who need it most.

Working alongside the Mental Health Support Worker and colleagues from both U-evolve and The Junction, you will engage with young people, families and community organisations, helping to co-design activities and develop a programme that reflects the needs, strengths and aspirations of Ukrainian young people.

What we're looking for

We are looking for compassionate, motivated and collaborative people who believe every young person deserves access to high-quality mental health support.

Successful candidates will be passionate about improving the mental health and wellbeing of young people and committed to delivering inclusive, culturally responsive services. You'll be empathetic, approachable and reflective, with excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a supportive team.

For both roles, fluency in Ukrainian and lived experience or a strong understanding of Ukrainian culture and community needs is essential.

Both roles require experience of working with young people, knowledge of trauma-informed approaches, safeguarding and professional boundaries, and a commitment to working collaboratively with young people, communities and partner organisations.

Why join us?

At U-evolve and The Junction, you'll become part of two organisations committed to improving young people's mental health through compassionate, evidence-informed, collaborative and person-centred support.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Make a meaningful difference to the lives of Ukrainian young people.
• Help shape an innovative new service from the beginning.
• Work within a supportive and collaborative partnership.
• Receive regular supervision, reflective practice and opportunities for professional development.
• Be part of organisations that value kindness, inclusion, collaboration and learning.

We will offer you:

• Competitive holiday package
• Flexible working patterns
• Competitive Pension
• Positive supportive working environment which promotes learning and development.

If you're passionate about supporting young people's mental health and want to help build an innovative service that makes a lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you.
