Be part of a community for young people.

Dean & Cauvin Young People’s Trust is one of Scotland’s oldest children’s charities, rooted in nearly 300 years of care, connection and support. We believe every young person, young parent and baby deserves to grow up safe, loved, respected and with every opportunity to thrive.

Role:

Based in our Wellbeing Hub in West Edinburgh, you will lead a skilled team who provide a range of practical, social and emotional 1:1, group and whole-family support to children, young people and families who have experiences of care to help them:

• Move on from residential living to independent life and living in the community
• Develop healthy relationships, connections and mental wellbeing
• Build confidence, education, skills and training
• Be confident and supportive young parents

Our team work closely with:

• Our residential house teams in North and East Edinburgh to provide additional support to the young people, young parents and babies living alongside us to further develop their social and community connections
• Young people who have lived with us and are now requiring ongoing support in the community or supported living in one of our community Transition flats
• Young people and families from the wider care community and young people in our fostering households who require support.

We work together with families, social work, health services and other colleagues to keep the strengths, aspirations and voice of children, young people and families at the heart of all we do while ensuring their safety and welfare is always maintained.

The Team Leader role is pivotal to this. Tasked with the day-to-day operations of the Community & Transition team, Wellbeing Hub and Transition flats, you are expected to lead, support and supervise a small staff team to create a culture of nurture and community for young people, young parents, babies and families.

What You’ll Do

• Coordinate referrals, assessments and care planning using GIRFEC and rights based principles
• Strengthen connections between the Hub, residential houses, foster carers and community flats
• Oversee support being delivered to our transition flats and that it aligns with Care Inspectorate guidelines.
• Work with Team Leaders across our services to model integrated, developmentally attuned care

Investing in You

If you are someone who can make a real difference for children, young people and families—and bring experience from social work, youth, community or family support—then we would love to hear from you.

As a Team Leader, you will support our on call rota, including some weekend work, with additional payments provided.

We are deeply committed to investing in our people. You will have access to a wide range of professional development opportunities, including:

• Fully funded SVQ 4 in Social Services (Children & Young People)
• Regular supervision and reflective consultation
• Ongoing training and development aligned with our organisational practice

For over 50 years, Cyrenians has tackled the causes and consequences of homelessness.

We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based. We meet people where they are and support them towards where they want to be.

Our mission: To tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness through learning from lived experience; by delivering targeted services which focus on prevention, early intervention and support into a home; and by influencing changes in legislation and policy.

Compassion | Respect | Integrity | Innovation

About the team

Our Policy & Participation Team helps develop Cyrenians’ work to influence policy and systems change through learning from lived and professional experience.

Based within Cyrenians’ Outreach pillar, we work closely with services across the whole organisation, as well as external stakeholders and partners, including national and local government, funders and other third sector organisations.

The team currently consists of a Policy & Participation Manager and Youth Participation Lead.

We cover three main projects:

• The Scottish Frontline Network: Part of a UK wide network for frontline professionals who support people at risk of or experiencing homelessness. We facilitate free events and training opportunities, providing a regular opportunity for frontline workers in Scotland to network, share expertise and link to policy makers.
• All in for Change: A platform for lived and professional experience of homelessness in Scotland. The programme is co-facilitated by Cyrenians and Homeless Network Scotland and led by the Change Team – a group of around 25 people who bring their own unique experience and expertise of homelessness to influence policy change.
• Youth Participation: taking a youth work approach, we provide opportunities for young people supported by Cyrenians to share their experience and expertise and influence change in policy and practice in areas such as youth homelessness, The Promise, neurodiversity etc.

In addition to delivering the projects above, the team works closely with the Press & Public Affairs Manager on influencing opportunities and – when capacity allows – supports other policy and participation initiatives across Cyrenians’ services, e.g. cross-organisational responses to public policy consultations.

About the role

This is a new role created to mainly support delivery on two of our participation projects: the Scottish Frontline Network and All in For Change.

Working closely with the Policy & Participation Manager, you will deliver activities across both projects. The main focus will be to create safe and inclusive ways for people with experience of homelessness and frontline staff to share their expertise and influence change. Key activities will include organising and facilitating various types of engaging events, workshops, focus groups and meetings (both online and in-person) for frontline professionals and people with lived experience of homelessness.

As this is a new post and there will be scope to shape the position depending on your own interests and experience. We are keen to support you to try things out and bring your own ideas to the table.

We are looking for someone who can listen to, and learn from, people from all walks of life; has a passion for participation and co-production; and a desire to make a difference and create change at policy and systems level.

As a Housing and Homelessness Advisor, you’ll provide person‑centred housing support to the Armed Forces community, offering advice, casework and tenancy sustainment to those at risk of homelessness. You’ll triage new enquiries, manage a varied caseload and ensure accessible, inclusive support for all beneficiaries.

Working closely with local authorities, housing providers and third‑sector partners, you’ll help deliver joined‑up support through the Council’s Housing Options approach. You’ll represent GHH in forums with key stakeholders, including Homeless Network Scotland, and contribute to housing projects and outreach clinics across the city.

A key part of the role includes applying for funding for rent, deposits and emergency accommodation, while supporting beneficiaries to maintain stable, long‑term housing through proactive engagement and early intervention.

This is a dynamic, community‑focused role where no two days are the same. You’ll develop your skills in case management, safeguarding, multi‑agency working and crisis support, while making a meaningful difference to those who have served.

As a pet‑friendly service, GHH regularly supports beneficiaries who may have assistance or support animals.

About the team

GHH, based at the Pearce Institute in Govan and delivered in partnership with SSAFA and Glasgow City Council, provides trusted support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families. Our trauma‑informed, holistic approach offers wraparound assistance that addresses housing needs alongside wider wellbeing challenges, helping beneficiaries build resilience and sustain long‑term housing solutions.

The service operates a gateway model, giving the Armed Forces community a single point of contact for housing, financial, employability and wider support.

You’ll be part of a highly collaborative network, working closely with local and national partners such as Citizens Advice Scotland, Veterans Housing Scotland, Erskine, Scottish Veterans Residences, Defence Medical Welfare Services, Homeless Casework Teams and Homeless Network Scotland. The role also involves attending stakeholder events that may occasionally fall outside of standard office hours.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will need to be a proactive, compassionate person with a genuine interest in housing and homelessness. You’ll bring relevant experience or strong transferable skills, along with the motivation to support the Armed Forces community through complex housing challenges.

Ideally, you will hold a Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Level 2 or 3 qualification in Housing Practice or be willing to work towards it as part of your development in the role

You’ll manage a varied caseload, provide person‑centred support, and work closely with local authorities, landlords and partner agencies. Strong communication, problem‑solving and organisational skills are essential.

This is a community‑based role involving citywide travel, outreach work and home visits, and requires flexibility when dealing with urgent or changing needs.

About SSAFA

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is a trusted source of support for the Armed Forces community in their time of need. In 2024 our trained teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 54,000 people, including veterans, serving personnel (regulars and reserves) and their families.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. And we are here for that person and their family, any time they need us and in any way they need us.

We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a worldwide charity.

The Equality Network works for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, ace and intersex (LGBTQIA+) equality and human rights in Scotland. We strive to be inclusive and open in our work, to challenge discrimination and to consult, involve and inform the individuals and the communities for which we work.

The Equality Network was founded in 1997 as a national organisation working for LGBT rights and equality in Scotland. We are a registered charity governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees. Scottish Trans Alliance has been an Equality Network project since 2007. Scottish Trans works to improve gender identity and gender reassignment equality, rights and inclusion in Scotland.

Partnership is a key part of our approach, and much of what we do involves working in partnership with diverse LGBTQIA+ people, other LGBTQIA+ organisations, and with organisations working in the wider equality and human rights field.

In 2026 we launched our new 3-year Strategy which addresses the current context in which we are working. With increasing risk to LGBTQIA+ protections, inclusion and equality and human rights realisation our work is more important now than ever. There are strategies working counter to our hope for a more inclusive Scotland, ones that sow division. We recognise that collaboration, partnership and coalition building is crucial. Our new strategy lays out how we will move forward, work together to push back, sustain and protect what we have already achieved, and together move towards progressive and meaningful change. You can read that here: Equality Network Strategy 2026-2029

THE ROLE

Working in cooperation with our policy team, comms team, community engagement teams and the Scottish Trans Manager and CEO, the Strategic Partnership and Campaigns Coordinator supports the development and delivery of the Equality Network’s work to improve LGBTQIA+ equality, rights and inclusion in Scotland.

The role’s primary purpose is to build strategic and accessible campaigns and relationships particularly around trans rights. This means that the post-holder will work closely with the Scottish Trans Manager.

The role will involve working with partners, the community, and with those who have influence (including the media) in Scotland and where necessary wider in the UK and internationally where expertise is needed on trans equality and human rights issues and priorities. The aim is to build partnerships and coalitions, change hearts and minds, and to collectively push for progressive change for marginalised LGBTQIA+ people, particularly trans people. This will also involve working with teams and partners on how these campaigns for progressive change can contribute to bettering narratives, particularly around trans people’s equality and human rights.

Our new strategy highlights the vital nature of partnerships in the face of a shared threat. Our partners include all other organisations which provide and advocate for our community as equalities and rights-holders, both those explicitly working for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and those who provide and advocate for other marginalised communities, intersectional communities or on issues relevant and pertinent to our community and their lives.

Our key aim with this role is to build effective coalitions in Scotland and to connect with intersecting campaigns to maximise impact.

This new role will work alongside our senior management team and across partner sectors to strategise and push back against current exclusionary policy and harmful narratives around trans people’s human rights.

Lead the change you want to see

Set the agenda for community action on climate change

FEL is the Scottish environmental charity that’s changing our world for the better, project by project.

We believe that powerful change can be simple to make.

From e-bike libraries to vertical gardens, we bring innovative solutions that combine the latest technology with a hands-on approach. By working with communities, we show people how to make everyday improvements that help them, their neighbours, and the planet.

Now we’re looking for the best people to keep us striding in the right direction.

Could you be an FEL Trustee?

We are seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help shape FEL’s long-term direction.

If you care about community-led climate action, can think strategically, and are willing to offer constructive challenge and support, this could be a meaningful role for you.

We are particularly interested in people with experience in:

• Digital and technology
• Impact and evaluation
• Finance
• HR and organisational development
• Community sports, education or youth engagement
• Community or sustainable energy
• Equality, diversity and inclusion

However, we welcome interest from people of all backgrounds. Different perspectives strengthen our governance, and your experience may be exactly what we need.

We are especially keen to diversify our Board in terms of age, background and lived experience. We encourage applications from younger people, individuals from ethnic minority communities, and anyone who has participated in or benefited from FEL’s work.

Previous Board experience is not essential. We provide induction, mentoring and ongoing support to help you contribute with confidence.

FEL is a registered charity committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and we actively encourage applications from all sections of the community.

What’s involved?

FEL Trustees play an important role in setting our strategic goals and in making sure we have the structure and resources to achieve them. They promote and represent our vision, mission and values. They agree the policies and procedures through which we work and offer support and advice to the FEL board, staff and volunteers. They make sure we’re monitoring and reporting on what we do correctly, that we comply with regulations, meet our legal obligations and manage our finances properly.

Above all, our Trustees use their skills, knowledge and experience to help our Board make the right decisions that will keep us changing our world for the better. Project by project.
