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.

- Sound understanding of regulatory, statutory or compliance environments

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.
If this sounds like the kind of role where you could make a real contribution, we would welcome your application.
Could you help us shape what's next?
OutLET is a Lanarkshire-based charity and social enterprise using nature to support emotional wellbeing, confidence and resilience. We deliver therapeutic forest school projects, community play and wellbeing programmes, and training for practitioners up to Forest School Leader level.
We've built a strong reputation for doing things differently, developed innovative programmes and training, built trusted relationships with partners and funders and, perhaps most importantly, assembled an experienced, committed and stable team who genuinely care about what they do.
Now we're ready for the next chapter.
We're looking for an innovative, strategic and big-picture thinker to become our new CEO and help us explore just how far OutLET could go.
This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to maintain the status quo. We're looking for someone who sees possibilities where others see barriers; who can spot opportunities, bring people with them and turn good ideas into practical action.
The Role
As CEO, you'll work closely with our Board of Trustees and Senior Leadership Team to lead OutLET's strategic direction, organisational development and long-term sustainability.
You'll help us identify opportunities for growth, innovation and expansion — whether that's through new partnerships, income streams, areas of work or ways of working.
We already have people who know how to deliver. We need someone who can help us think about where we go next.
You'll provide strategic oversight without being expected to do everything yourself. Our experienced Senior Leadership Team and established staff teams bring considerable knowledge and expertise. Your role will be to bring those strengths together, create space for good ideas and turn ambition into action.
You'll also lead on governance, organisational sustainability, people and culture, marketing and communications, and representing OutLET with partners, funders and stakeholders.
Who are we looking for?
We're looking for someone who is:
- Innovative - curious, creative and willing to challenge conventional thinking.
- Strategic - able to see the bigger picture and turn vision into action.
- Entrepreneurial - able to spot opportunities and explore new approaches.
- Collaborative - able to bring people together and get the best from a team.
- Authentic - leads with honesty, openness and integrity.
- People-focused - understands that great organisations are built around people who feel valued and supported.
You don't need to be an outdoor learning expert - our team already has that expertise. What we need is the leadership, curiosity and imagination to help us make the most of it.
*This post is subject to membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme and satisfactory PVG Scheme Record/Update. The successful candidate will be required to undergo the appropriate Disclosure Scotland vetting checks prior to appointment.*
Why OutLET?
You'll be joining an organisation with:
- A strong reputation - established, trusted and known for doing things differently.
- An experienced and stable team - people with deep knowledge, expertise and commitment.
- Real potential for growth - exciting opportunities to develop our work, reach more people and explore new possibilities.
- Space to innovate - we're open to new ideas and different ways of working.
- A family-first approach - we recognise that people have lives outside work.
- Flexible working - we're open to discussing hours and working patterns with the right person.

A bit about the role
As an Employment Facilitator in Inverclyde, you’ll be part of a supportive team delivering high‑quality employability support to young people. Your role is hands‑on, varied and deeply rewarding. You’ll work one‑to‑one with young people to understand their strengths, barriers and aspirations, helping them build confidence and take practical steps toward employment, training or further education.
You’ll design and deliver tailored employability sessions across areas such as Customer Service, Construction, personal development and essential skills. A key part of your role will be creating outcome‑focused action plans, reviewing progress regularly, and providing warm, consistent aftercare to help young people stay motivated and on track.
Working closely with colleagues, local partners and employers, you’ll help young people explore opportunities in the labour market, prepare for interviews, develop workplace behaviours, and gain the skills they need to thrive. You’ll also support them to overcome challenges that may be holding them back, ensuring they feel heard, supported and empowered throughout their journey.
About the Service
Our Employability Service supports young people aged 16–24 across Inverclyde who are facing barriers to making positive choices about their future. Many of the young people we work with may be struggling to access education, training or employment, or may need extra support to feel confident about their next steps. We provide a welcoming, youth‑centred environment where they can explore opportunities, build essential skills, and develop a sense of direction.
Through personalised programmes, practical activities and strong partnerships with local organisations, we help young people strengthen their motivation, resilience and readiness for the world of work. Whether it’s improving confidence, gaining sector‑specific skills, or understanding what opportunities are available locally, our service is designed to meet each young person where they are and support them to move forward with clarity and confidence.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to improving life chances. We empower young people to recognise their strengths, overcome challenges, and take meaningful steps toward long‑term success.
What you do could make a difference
Some key responsibilities of an Employment Facilitator are;
- Working in line with Action for Children’s standards and professional practice expectations and helping to put these into everyday practice.
- Supporting and coordinating a caseload of young people, offering a range of tailored interventions, whether through group sessions, coordinated activities, or one‑to‑one support, to help them move towards the labour market.
- Delivering engaging group‑work modules that contribute to our wider employability programmes, encouraging inclusion and recognising different learning styles.
- Keeping all compliance requirements up to date and accurate, ensuring we meet the needs of both the organisation and our stakeholders.
Let’s talk about you
We’re open to people joining us from a variety of backgrounds, whether you’re stepping into your first role after gaining a recent qualification or looking to build on experience in youth work, employability or a related field. What matters most is your ability to engage young people, understand their challenges, and support them to move forward with confidence.
- An SVQ Level 3 in Social Care, Guidance or a similar area would be helpful, but we’re equally open to applicants who bring relevant experience instead of a formal qualification.
- Experience working with young people in group settings, particularly those facing multiple barriers, will be really valuable.
- A good understanding of the challenges young people face when trying to access employment, and the motivation to help them overcome these.
- Experience or insight into the Construction or Customer Service sectors would be beneficial, as these are key areas within our employability programmes.
- The ability to build positive relationships, maintain professional boundaries, and create an inclusive, youth‑centred learning environment.
Why Action for Children?
Every child should have a loving home, food, warmth, the chance to grow and learn - the support to cope with life’s challenges. But too many children don’t. By bringing your passion and unique skills and experience, you’ll help us change that where it really matters.
We've been driven by love to take action for children for over 150 years, giving them the protection and practical help they need. A lot’s changed since 1869. But what children really need, hasn’t. So as long as children need us, we’ll be here.
