Why join us?
This is a rewarding opportunity to use your financial expertise to support a specialist charity making a real difference to the lives of stalking victims. As a trustee, you will help shape our future direction, strengthen our governance, and contribute to a cause that is both urgent and impactful across Scotland.
We warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those who are currently underrepresented on charity boards across Scotland, including women, people of colour, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, younger people, and those with relevant lived experience or who are new to governance.
As Treasurer Trustee, strong accountancy and financial management expertise is essential to help ensure effective stewardship of our resources, robust financial oversight, and the long-term sustainability of our work.

We are committed to building an inclusive, values-led, and well-governed trustee team that reflects the communities we serve and strengthens our impact across Scotland.
Are you passionate about empowering communities who are most affected by the climate crisis but whose voices are least often heard to take action? We support communities most affected by air pollution, increasing temperatures in the Global South and the transition away from fossil fuels to ask for systems change through community organising techniques. Do you understand the theory of Community Organising and have you had experience of educating, skilling up and supporting communities to campaign for change? If so we’d love to hear from you!
We are particularly keen to hear from people who experience marginalisation and minoritisation or who are often excluded from decision-making processes. For example, people of colour; people from working-class backgrounds; people from LGBTQ and migrant communities; care-experienced young people and people with disabilities.
Background
Parents for Future Scotland is a grassroots group of parents seeking to make climate action the norm among all parents in Scotland. We are in the midst of a big step change, increasing our influence and reach across the country, and we need you to help us in doing that. This post is based in Glasgow and will operate mainly in Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is open to anyone who can commute.
We run programmes in schools and in partnership with other charities to reach communities who are most affected by climate change and to support them to take local action. This work is delivered by our programme team. This role will build on the programme work taking place by joining people up, on-boarding them into our movement and skilling them up to mobilise and campaign. Through this process we hope to create local groups within our movement who are skilled and able to take action on climate change to realise our vision of a climate-safe future for every child and our goal of a just transition away from fossil fuels in Scotland.
We operate in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh. We have a Community Organiser in Aberdeen, therefore this role will support the growth of volunteers and movement members in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
It will require availability at weekends and in evenings.
The role:
Develop existing movement members to become an inter-connected, powerful movement of skilled individuals supporting each other
Broadening participation within the movement space, centering the voices of those least often heard
Developing and implementing our new campaign on retrofit and community energy
