Our current treasurer has been a trustee and treasurer for 14 years and plans to retire from his post in September 2025 at our AGM.

Our organisation is small, and so our trustees are involved in the management of the charity bringing their expertise to bear as required.

Our Board meets 4 times a year - mostly in Oban.

The Role

We are seeking to appoint a new trustee treasurer - someone with financial management skills, a passion for the outdoors, and shared determination to improve the lives of young people regardless of their background.

Upmo is a Living Wage Employer; the rate of pay for this role is £12.60 per hour, which is due to increase in line with the new rate.

Holiday entitlement for this role is 30 days pro rata, which is enhanced by long service at 3 years’ service by an additional day (pro rata) per year thereafter, up to a maximum of 5 days.

As a Project Worker, you will be part of an enthusiastic and creative team who provide daily support to adults with learning disabilities and autism as they participate in workshops and activities within our site-based services, and café sites.

We are interested in hearing from individuals with skills and expertise in art, IT, music, drama, dance, photography, gardening, and outdoor activities, as these are the subjects covered in our workshops, so it is beneficial to be familiar with them. Or, if you have any other skills, let us know! A key part of the role involves supporting students in workshops of their choosing, working one to one with students, and facilitating workshops, and supporting people with personal care, as and when required.

In a bold step toward broadening our vision and impact, we’ve recently updated our governing documents to welcome Non-Executive Directors from outside our membership. This change opens the door to fresh ideas, diverse expertise, and valuable insights from beyond the arts—strengthening our leadership and enriching our work.

At FST, we believe diversity fuels creativity and strengthens leadership. We’re actively working to build a Board and staff team that reflects the richness and variety of the communities we serve.

Following a recent review of Board membership, we have identified the need for new Trustees and are looking for candidates with skills and experience in the following areas: Financial; HR/Legal; Public Policy & Research.

FST’s Board of Trustees work on a voluntary basis and meet four times a year. We welcome candidates from all over Scotland and can facilitate online attendance at meetings as required.

Our mission is to champion the role of voluntary organisations in building a flourishing society and support them to do work that has a positive impact. Our values— accountable, committed, responsive, supportive, progressive, and bold—guide everything we do.

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and welcome applications from all backgrounds, especially from disabled people and those from ethnic minority communities.
