We have an exciting opportunity for a full time People & Organisational Development Adviser to join the Commission on a 12-month fixed term contract.

Reporting into the People & OD Manager, the role is part of our small but critical People & OD Team, where you will have the opportunity to interact with colleagues from across the Commission’s functions.

We are looking for an experienced HR professional who is motivated, self-sufficient and capable of providing generalist HR support and managing day to day operational HR issues with limited supervision/assistance. Key deliverables include managing the end-to-end recruitment process (including requisite background checks); supporting the induction /onboarding process; updating HR systems and extracting reports for management reporting; triaging the People Team inbox and responding to routine enquiries (e.g. annual leave queries, providing advice to managers on occupational health referrals/attendance management); managing lower level employee relations matters; updating core HR policies and procedures; and supporting on discrete people projects/activities.

This is an opportunity to join the Commission’s People & OD Team at a time of change, as we look to streamline our people systems and processes; drive forward cultural change by embedding our new organisational values into our people processes; and take forward more strategic workforce initiatives.

At the Commission we champion diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing. We pride ourselves on being an employer of choice, cultivating a sense of belonging and providing a workplace where everyone feels valued. We aim to have a workforce which represents the wider society that we serve and therefore encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and under-represented groups.

As an employer, we offer excellent terms and conditions including a generous NHS pension scheme, a commitment to learning and development, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme. We also offer a comprehensive range of HR policies including policies to help balance commitments at work and home and flexible working arrangements.

Our office environment is modern, light, bright and green with superb views and is very close to Haymarket Railway station and transport links.

Helping Hands provides practical assistance within the homes of our clients as well as a regular shopping service and a wheelchair loan service.

We are looking for a motivated and organised project Co-ordinator to support the delivery of our essential services. The role involves supporting staff, managing the day-to-day running of the project, as well as working with clients and partner agencies, and contributing to service development and grant applications.

You will have experience working with the general public, confidence supporting colleagues, a good understanding of safeguarding and risk, and be comfortable with admin tasks, IT systems, and databases. Flexibility, strong communication skills, and an empathetic approach are essential.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference within a small, supportive team.

About Us

Open Door Scotland is a youth homelessness charity supporting young people aged 16–25 who are at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness. Many of the young people we work with are care experienced, face significant challenges relating to mental health, social isolation, and access to education, training, and employment.

We provide accommodation alongside practical, emotional, and developmental support that enables young people to stabilise their lives and move towards independence.

Our Ambition

We are focused on strengthening our foundations so we can grow responsibly and sustain our impact. This means clear strategy, strong leadership, effective risk management, and robust governance. Non-Executive Directors are essential to delivering this ambition.

The Non-Executive Director Role

Non-Executive Directors are collectively-responsible for the governance and strategic direction of Open Door

Scotland. This is a role of responsibility and trust, with legal duties and accountability for the organisation’s financial

health, compliance, and long-term sustainability.

Non-Executive Directors do not manage day-to-day operations. Instead, they provide oversight, constructive

challenge, and support to the CEO and senior leadership, ensuring the organisation is well run, values-led, and focused on its charitable objectives.

We are looking for Non-Executive Directors who will prepare well, contribute constructively, and engage

actively in board discussions and decision-making.
