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 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 ‘Right Track (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 leading a team of peer education volunteers (16-24) who will use their own lived 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.

Do you …

Have connections with Gorbals and Govanhill?

Believe in local democracy, youth work and community development?

Share our values of inclusion, environmental justice and social action?

Have experience, skills or energies that we can use?

Crossroads was founded in 1968, with the declaration that everyone should have the right to ‘live gloriously’. This meant two things: tackling whatever in society gets in the way of a fulfilling life, and nurturing and strengthening people’s confidence and resilience. Based at the Barn in Gorbals, we work with young people, families, and individuals, and work on issues of disability, mental health, migration, housing conditions and much more. Wherever possible we work to bring people together to share experiences, decide together and act together.

Our Board of Trustees is rooted in the community, and elected by members of the Association. These local roots have been essential to the survival of the organisation for over 50 years, against a background that has not always been friendly towards local action or challenges to authority. The survival has also depended on the essential advice and support of legal, financial and organisational talents both within the organisation and from supporters, so that we can demonstrate our integrity and responsibility.

We are looking to increase the strength and breadth of memebrship of our Board of Trustees / Directors and are keen to bring new members on Board. We would particularly welcome interest from younger people, minorities, and those with professional and life experiences we can draw on.

About us

The Super Power Agency exists to help young people write their story and to stay with them while they grow into it.

We are a small organisation with big ideas, grounded in the belief that creative writing is not a ‘nice to have’, but an essential skill.

Writing builds confidence, literacy, empathy and self-expression.

When young people are given the space to imagine freely and the structure to shape their ideas, their worlds open up.

The Role

We are looking for someone who believes in the long game. Someone who understands that impact is not only measured in numbers, but in confidence gained, stories remembered, and lives quietly shaped. Someone who can offer strategic guidance, governance oversight and thoughtful challenge all while holding fast to the values that make this organisation special.

The coming years are significant. We are growing our reach, deepening partnerships, expanding into new communities,

and working towards a long-held ambition: creating a dedicated writing centre where young people can flourish and write freely.

As our Chair of Trustees, you’ll provide leadership, support and a bit of magic to help guide our charity’s vision and direction.

• Lead the Board in shaping our strategy and keeping our mission at the heart of every decision.
• Work closely with the CEO to champion creativity, confidence and sustainability across everything we do.
• Be an ambassador for the Super Power Agency by helping to build partnerships, open doors and spread our story far and wide.
• Ensure our governance and finances are strong, inclusive and focused on supporting young people.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a real difference while bringing their leadership, collaboration and

imagination to the table.

Are you playful, adaptable and a good communicator? We are seeking a Play and Wellbeing Practitioner to deliver high-quality, self-directed play opportunities across Midlothian, as part of a team. This is an active, hands‑on role with a strong emphasis on outdoor play in all weather conditions.

About Play Midlothian

Play Midlothian is a registered charity (no. SC025474) working to enable every child in Midlothian to thrive through play by creating opportunities, removing barriers and addressing inequalities. We have an office base at the One Dalkeith Business Hub in central Dalkeith, but deliver services throughout Midlothian, and if commissioned, beyond.

About the Role

The postholder will work across our various services, supporting children and young people aged 0-14, including children with disabilities and those with emerging mental health challenges, and their families.

A high proportion of sessions take place outdoors, all year round.

Travel and transportation of play resources to multiple sites across Midlothian is required for successful delivery of our services. Sessions take place at various times, including during the school day, but most are after school hours and at weekends. Flexibility is therefore required, though we do aim to share out weekend working on a rota pattern so that everyone gets predictable weekends off.

If you are enthusiastic about enabling children to play in their own ways, we would love to hear from you.
