Background

Unicorn Preservation Society (UPS) is a Scottish charity responsible for the preservation of HMS Unicorn, one of the world’s oldest surviving warships and an important part of Scotland’s maritime heritage.

The Society faces two related fundraising challenges:

• Financial sustainability: securing sufficient unrestricted and revenue funding to support the charity’s core operating costs, develop sustainable income streams and strengthen its long-term financial position.
• Project Safe Haven (PSH) securing the capital funding required to support the major conservation project to safeguard HMS Unicorn for the future. Comprising transfer of HMS Unicorn into permanent dry dock in the East Graving Dock adjacent to her current location with new visitor facilities and shelter structure.

The Society wishes to appoint an experienced fundraising consultant/contractor to develop a clear, realistic and actionable fundraising plan that addresses both these priorities and supports the long-term sustainability of the organisation and the ship.

This work will contribute to UPS’s PSH Development Phase funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF.)

Purpose of the commission

The successful applicant will work with the Society to develop a prioritised fundraising plan for the period 2027 – 2030 covering both revenue and capital funding and keyed to Project Safe Haven milestones as appropriate.

The plan should identify the most promising funding opportunities, establish clear priorities, and set out the actions, resources and timescales required to pursue them. It should be grounded in an assessment of the Society’s circumstances, fundraising capacity and funding needs, and should distinguish between opportunities that can

deliver income in the short term and those requiring longer-term development.

The plan must be realistic about the likely availability and timing of funding, the probability of success and the resources required to secure it. It should be sufficiently practical to guide implementation by the Society following completion of the commission.

Background

Common Wheel is a 25 year old Registered Charity, based in Glasgow, providing meaningful activity for people recovering from or experiencing mental illness. Our Programmes of activity include; Arts, Music, Climbing, Gardening, Bike Building and our own highly varied Drop In Programme delivered from our own premises at the Gartnavel Hospital, The Nook in Glasgow and other community facilities. Our Bike Building Programme (BYOB) is delivered from our well respected and long-established Bike Workshops in Maryhill and Bridgeton.

Our Bike Workshops are staffed by our existing Bike Engineers and are supported by our team of volunteer Bike Engineers. In addition to being commercial Bike Workshops offering bike sales and repairs, our workshops are also highly supportive, training workspaces where we deliver the Build Your Own Bike Programme.

Due to volume of work, we are currently seeking to recruit a new Bike Engineer who will work across both Bike Workshops ensuring we can have longer opening hours.

Who are we looking for?

We want to find someone who has a passion for bikes and the skills and patience to match. We need someone who can do more than fix bikes. The role is also about passing on your knowledge and passion to improve the lives of people with mental illness.

Our bike repair side is more creative than in other bike workshops. We do many custom builds and seldom sell a bike the way it left the factory.

As with any job there will be training in how we do things. We do expect you to be able to re-cable a ‘90s bike in less than an hour, build wheels, fit mudguards and all the usual bike repair skills.

We are also seeking someone with customer service skills, preferably in a bike environment and someone with IT skills as we have admin responsibilities to our Funders. Specific bike retail experience would be advantageous.

Ideally, we are seeking someone with a non-judgemental, nurturing, motivational approach who will be able to support our participants as fully as possible, someone who understands the challenges presented by mental illness.

The Bike Engineer will have a full Common Wheel induction and will have access to mental health training including; working with forensic patients, suicide prevention, self-harm and trauma informed practice. You may be asked to take part in the bike subcommittee which is made up of staff, volunteers and board members.

About the Project/Service

As a Senior Practitioner, you will have delegated supervisory responsibilities, including providing day-to-day guidance and support to staff, but you will not hold overall management accountability for the service. You will contribute across multiple projects by helping to create safe, inclusive and person-centred environments where people feel believed, respected and heard, and where they can take part in meaningful activities that build confidence, resilience and sustainable self-management of their mental health.

Change Mental Health offers a community-based Hub at The Gatehouse in Golspie, providing non-clinical, person-centred support in a welcoming environment where people can take part in group activities, peer support and recovery-focused opportunities.

Activities include: art; mental health self-management programmes and workshops; walking groups; gardening; wellbeing sessions and confidence-building opportunities.

Change Mental Health also offers Outreach support, which is a Care Inspectorate Registered service. This service provides person-centred, outreach support to adults affected by mental illness in their own homes, in line with the Health and Social Care Standards and relevant policies, procedures and regulatory requirements. We serve the surrounding community of Sutherland with non-clinical emotional and practical support that helps people build the knowledge, skills, confidence and resilience to self-manage their mental health and wellbeing, using practical tools, coping strategies and signposting to the most appropriate next step in their journey. Our Outreach teams are required to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) within the required timescales, maintain registration, and hold a relevant SSSC-recognised qualification for the post.

Purpose of the Role

The postholder will deliver high-quality, hub-based support that is person-centred, non-clinical and community-based, helping people to build the knowledge, confidence, skills and resilience to self-manage their mental health or mental illness and live well in their communities. Alongside line managing hub-based and outreach Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioners, you will provide guidance, support and supervision that promotes reflective practice, excellent service delivery and positive staff development.

As a Change Mental Health Senior Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner, you will be experienced in providing direct support to individuals experiencing poor mental health/ living with mental illness. You will work directly with individuals helping them achieve the best possible outcomes across their mental, physical, emotional and financial health. You will empower people to self- manage their mental health, build self‑confidence, reconnect with others, and become more integrated within their local community. You will be a trusted and experienced point of contact for the team, offering support and guidance to colleagues and peers around working with people who find themselves in complex situations.

The role includes facilitating group activities, offering structured 1:1 support, accompanying outreach Health and Wellbeing Practitioner staff on some of their outreach support visits, undertaking community engagement, and delivering recovery‑focused interventions. You will support people to develop and review personal plans ensuring goals are meaningful and achievable.

Working closely with colleagues, partners and communities, you will contribute to creating an environment where people feel safe and accepted, connected to others, and hopeful for the future. You will adhere to and role model the values of Change Mental Health.

You will support the local management team in their roles to meet national and funder criteria. You will offer ideas and feedback to your line manager to support service development.

Occasional travel will be required for external meetings, training, pop-up hubs and fundraising.
