All roles at OPFS contribute to our mission of working with and for single parent families, providing support that enables them to achieve their potential and help create lasting solutions to the poverty and barriers facing many single parents and their children. Our core values of Justice, Equity, Trust, Collaboration and Compassion are at the heart of everything we do and underpin all aspects of our work.

About this role:

We are seeking an exceptional leader to establish and lead a new partnership through its first year, building the foundation of a sustainable multi-year programme. Reporting to the Deputy CEO, you will lead a parity of esteem partnership across four organisations called the Weave Partnership. The Weave Partnership will offer single parent families, and other priority family groups, a single, strengths based plan built around one trusted relationship, on the principle of ‘no wrong door’.

Working as part of our Senior Leadership Team, you will help embed our service delivery framework, My Life and Me, in areas where OPFS will be developing full service hubs, and the areas the Weave Partnership moves into. You will also be responsible for overseeing and developing our established national advice and debt services. This is a pivotal, values led role at the heart of our mission to strengthen the wellbeing of single parent families.

OPFS aims to be an equal opportunity and family friendly employer. OPFS has Investors In People Gold status.

GSC Auldhouse is seeking an ambitious and enterprising General Manager to lead the next stage of our development.

Based at the home of Giffnock Soccer Centre — Scotland’s largest grassroots football club, with more than 1,400 players and 200 volunteer coaches — GSC Auldhouse is a charity with a clear purpose: to harness the power of football and our outstanding facilities to create opportunities for people and communities across Glasgow and the west of Scotland.

With £1.3 million invested in the development of our GSC Auldhouse base, and successful community programmes already supporting children, families, women and people who are new to Scotland, the foundations are firmly in place. We now need an inspiring, commercially minded leader who can turn that potential into sustainable growth.

Working closely with our Board, the General Manager will shape and deliver our social-outreach strategy, develop new funding and commercial partnerships, maximise income from our facilities and oversee the continued development of the Giffnock Soccer Centre Academy.

This is a rare opportunity to combine strategic leadership with hands-on delivery — helping to establish GSC Auldhouse as grassroots football’s leading provider of sport, health, inclusion and employability programmes.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving national charity, as part of a high-performing, ambitious Business Development team. You will use a wide range of commercial and interpersonal skills to develop the way our services support children, young people and families.

The core area of your work will be working with teams of Barnardo's colleagues to produce compelling proposals to commissioners and partners in Scotland and Northern Ireland. As such, you'll be able to demonstrate:

• Strong organisational skills
• Meticulous attention to detail
• The ability to elicit and articulate great ideas
• Strong written and spoken communication

You will need to be a good writer, communicating ideas effectively on paper with an ability to analyse large volumes of information to develop clear and compelling responses to tenders. It is critical that you can build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to support the development of proposals and service design.

You will manage all aspects of proposals and tenders, leading the development and delivery of bids, working to deadlines, ensuring that we present strong business cases and bids that underpin successful outcomes. In addition, there will be the opportunity to help us develop new services and innovations in priority growth areas, monitor market intelligence, assess commercial and contract risks and work alongside operational colleagues in Children's Services.

Your project management skills may have been developed in any sector, and may need further development, but your commitment to the work we do will be demonstrated by your enthusiasm and ability to learn. In Business Development we are a supportive team, with stimulating and challenging work and extensive opportunities to learn and to help Barnardo's transform the lives of the UK's most vulnerable children.

These roles will operate on a 'Work from Anywhere' basis, meaning that you can work both from home and/or from an office 'hub' that's nearest to where you live. Some travel across Scotland and Northern Ireland may be required.

Barnardo's believe in creating equality of opportunity in the workplace and supporting people to manage their work-life balance; we are therefore open to offering flexible working arrangements.

Pay & Reward Framework

We appreciate our colleagues' dedication and their commitment to delivering excellence in the vital work we do, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

We are committed to a rounded colleague experience with an approach to both pay and rewards that are fair, attractive, and progressive. This is in support of our strategic ambition to ensure Barnardo's is a place everyone can belong, grow and thrive.

The salary range advertised is in line with our pay principles, for consistency and fairness while recognising the skills and experience applicants bring to the role. Appointing salaries can be discussed further at appointment stage; we do seek to appoint within this range always exercising responsible stewardship.

Help shape the future of support for unpaid carers in Angus

Every day, unpaid carers across Angus provide vital care and support to family members, friends and neighbours. Their contribution is invaluable, yet caring can often impact health, wellbeing, employment, finances and opportunities.

At Angus Carers Centre, we work with and for unpaid carers to ensure they are recognised, valued and supported. Through information, advocacy, wellbeing support and opportunities for connection, we help carers navigate challenges, access support and achieve their own aspirations alongside their caring role.

Established in 1996, Angus Carers Centre has grown to support almost 2,000 adult and young carers across Angus each year. Our dedicated team of 25 staff and over 20 volunteers are passionate about improving lives and ensuring carers' voices are heard at both a local and national level.

Our vision is that all unpaid carers in Angus receive the information, support and recognition they need to feel valued, confident and able to fulfil their own potential.

As we enter an exciting new chapter, there has never been a better time to join Angus Carers Centre. We are about to embark on a new strategic planning process that will shape our vision, priorities and direction for the next five years. This role offers a unique opportunity to influence that journey and help shape the future of support for unpaid carers across Angus.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal leadership role within Angus Carers Centre.

Reporting directly to the Board of Directors and working closely with the Chief Financial Officer, you will be responsible for translating strategic ambition into operational delivery while ensuring unpaid carers remain at the heart of everything we do.

You will lead and develop our services, support and inspire our people, strengthen partnerships across Angus and beyond, and ensure our organisation is well-positioned to respond to the opportunities and challenges facing carers and the wider third sector.

We are looking for a confident, collaborative and values-led leader with a strong understanding of Scotland's third sector and health and social care landscape.

You will be equally comfortable contributing to strategic discussions, leading and developing teams, influencing partners and stakeholders, and ensuring the delivery of high-quality services that improve outcomes for unpaid carers.

Who We're Looking For

We are seeking someone who understands that the best outcomes for unpaid carers are achieved when organisations work together.

You will have experience developing partnerships across the third sector, health and social care and public sector organisations, with the ability to build trusted relationships that create positive change.

You may already be leading services within a charity, health and social care organisation or community-based service. Equally, you may bring transferable leadership experience combined with a strong understanding of partnership working and the challenges facing carers and communities.

Knowledge of Angus and its key stakeholder networks would be advantageous, but most importantly, you will have the skills, experience and commitment to build meaningful relationships that strengthen support for unpaid carers.

About the Role

As Head of Services and Operations, you will provide leadership across all aspects of service delivery and operational performance.

You will ensure our services are safe, effective, person-centred and responsive to carers' changing needs. You will support and develop staff and volunteers, strengthen organisational performance and sustainability, and work collaboratively with partners to influence positive outcomes for carers.

The role requires a balance of strategic thinking and practical leadership, ensuring the organisation remains focused on both long-term ambitions and day-to-day excellence.

At Clyde Valley Group, good governance helps create the conditions for confident decisions, strong assurance and better outcomes for our customers, colleagues and communities.

We are looking for a Senior Governance and Corporate Services Officer to join our Corporate Services Team in a pivotal role at the heart of the organisation. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, gets the detail right and understands how effective governance, compliance and corporate support help an organisation to thrive.

Reporting to our Finance and Corporate Services Director, you will be the central point of contact for governance and corporate services across the Group. You will support our Board and Committee structure, lead key governance processes, act as our Data Protection Officer and help ensure our arrangements remain robust, responsive and future focused.

You will also lead and support a small team, building confidence and clarity in how we deliver corporate services. We are looking for someone with sound judgement, strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusted relationships with colleagues, Board members, regulators and partners.

You do not need to have worked in housing before, although knowledge of the social housing sector and the Scottish Housing Regulator’s framework would be helpful. What matters most is that you bring strong governance experience, excellent writing and organisational skills, a proactive approach to improvement and a genuine commitment to our values and purpose.

At Clyde Valley, you will join a caring, people-centred organisation that is ambitious for our customers, communities and colleagues. We work hard, care deeply about doing things well and value people who bring positivity, collaboration, integrity and a passion for excellent service.

If you can combine attention to detail with big-picture thinking, and want to help make governance and corporate services better, simpler and more effective, we would love to hear from you.

What you’ll bring

• Strong experience in governance, corporate services, compliance or a similar senior role
• Confidence supporting Boards, Committees or senior leadership teams
• Excellent written communication skills and attention to detail
• Sound understanding of regulatory, statutory or compliance environments
• Ability to lead, support and develop colleagues
• A proactive, organised and solutions-focused approach
• Integrity, good judgement and a commitment to continuous improvement
• A positive, collaborative style and a genuine connection to Clyde Valley’s purpose and values.

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a forward-thinking organisation that values people, innovation, and excellence. We offer competitive benefits and the opportunity to make a real impact in the social housing sector.

In return, Clyde Valley Group offer a great remuneration and benefits package, including generous holidays and flexible working arrangements, an on-site gym and training and development opportunities.
