FUSE is a world class retail and hospitality offer setting standards for skills, training, recruitment and career support.

FUSE brings employers closer to job ready clients for a successful transition into work.
As part of this wider offer, we also have Joined Up for Business which offers community-based job fairs and a training through JobFit where we work with recruiting employers to design short training courses with a guaranteed interview. FUSE can link into these offers.
As this is a location-based service, we anticipate that much of the work will be delivered in person within dedicated offices within the St James Quarter. Remote/home working is supported when necessary.

The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of the most ambitious pieces of work in our organisation's history.
Thanks to support from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, we're developing Scotland's first LGBTQ+ Inclusive Care Standard - a co-produced framework that will improve how inclusive care is understood, delivered, and experienced across Scotland.
