We are looking for a motivated and collaborative Chair to proactively lead and support our organisation, providing strategic direction and insight to ensure we achieve our vision.

Wellbeing Scotland has been dedicated to supporting people impacted by child abuse since 1994. We support children, young people, adults and families, with an established specialism in access to records for people who experienced abuse while in care. We are a long-standing delivery partner of the Scottish Redress Support scheme.

We recently said goodbye to some long-standing Board members and are now looking for a new Chair and more trustees to bring fresh perspectives and energy. This is an opportunity to broaden our skillset and ensure the organisation is well supported for its next chapter.

The Chair’s role will be crucial throughout our next phase: providing steady leadership, supporting the Board through change, and ensuring the ongoing resilience of the organisation.

Key responsibilities of the Chair:

• Provide effective leadership and strategic direction
• Chair Board meetings and AGM
• Act as a bridge between the Board and the senior leadership team
• Ensure the charity operates in line with governing documents, charity law and best practice
• Represent Wellbeing Scotland externally with funders, partners and supporters

This is a voluntary role requiring attendance at 6 Board meetings per year plus additional support in line with the responsibilities of the role.

Who are we looking for?

Previous experience as a Chair is desirable but not essential. Most important is your commitment to our work and to using your experience to help us achieve our vision. We actively welcome expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds, professions and life experiences.

About Generations Working Together

Generations Working Together is the nationally recognised centre of excellence supporting the development and integration of intergenerational work across Scotland. Our mission is to develop, expand and improve IG practice nationwide. Our vision is to live in a Scotland where different generations are more connected, where everyone has opportunities to build relationships that help to create a more inclusive society.

Intergenerational work means relationship-based projects, activities and events where people of different generations, who might not otherwise meet, do things together in positive and creative ways. It includes any activities which purposefully ignore, remove or break down social, environmental, cultural or institutional barriers between generations e.g. ageism, making spaces for older & younger people to meet naturally, get to know each other, share ideas, pass on &/or learn new skills, work together to identify solutions to problems, addressing challenges in their communities, all the while forging relationships and friendships.

An intergenerational lens can also be applied to the workplace which can now have up to five generational cohorts within. Organisations are considering the impact of this and are questioning whether they have the right policies, processes and ethos in place to support their diverse expectations. Applying an intergenerational lens to the workplace provides an opportunity to consider the benefits that come from diverse generational groups.

As a membership and capacity-building organisation, GWT operate locally and nationally raising awareness, sharing and expanding knowledge and understanding of intergenerational practice and its impact. We provide training and wide-ranging resources and organise learning events and facilitate local and thematic networking opportunities, to enable high quality intergenerational activity to take root on the ground & flourish. GWT lead and deliver pilot projects to support and encourage the development and delivery of intergenerational practice in new settings. We also participate in research projects and scan relevant research taking place across the world for distilling and sharing with our members and others.

A short film narrated by our retired chair Alan Hatton-Yeo MBE can be viewed here on our YouTube channel detailing our history and the background of intergenerational work and its growth in the UK.

Hear from our volunteer Trustees below:

Q.What is it like to be a volunteer Trustee?

A. “Volunteering with GWT this past few years has let me see the value of intergenerational practice in many arenas of life. It has given me greater insight into the passionate practice out there and also the resource and specialism required to support it to be done in ever more meaningful and measurable ways. I have loved the opportunity so far of being part of a Board with such great diversity of age and experience.” (Trustee)

A.“My experience volunteering as a Trustee for GWT over the past nine years has been both rewarding personally and beneficial professionally. Exposure to the Governance and Compliance aspects of Trusteeship has been useful supporting my role as a senior manager within a private sector business, while the opportunity to present to workshops and conferences has been invaluable experience of public speaking. Additionally, working alongside the other Trustees and GWT staff who have a wealth of diverse and in-depth experience has been extremely useful from a professional development perspective. From a personal perspective, being able to give my time to support a cause which is increasingly important to society overall and impacts on the lives of everyone I know is rewarding and well worth the investment in time.” (Trustee)

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.

Reporting to the Senior Partnership Executive, the Partnership Executive will be involved in maintaining existing supporter relationships through the Corporate Fundraising journey, ensuring all possible opportunities for revenue generation are utilised.

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.
• Ability to represent CHAS internally and externally.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to adapt communication style to meet the needs of varied audiences.
• Driven and engaging personality with strong people skills.
• Driving Licence and access to a car

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.
