KEY DUTIES:

• Oversee the financial activities of the organisation and ensure they are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice.
• Ensure proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures are in place
• Observe and report on the financial health.
• Liaise with relevant staff and trustees to ensure the financial sustainability of the organisation

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity to change young lives across Edinburgh, by enabling young people to imagine and build their own positive futures.

This role will form part of the leadership team of Scran Academy, leading one of our core services, the Scransitions Employability Programme. The post holder will take ownership of the programme, planning and delivering structured and responsive employment and independent living support to young people facing challenges with their next steps in life.

The Scransitions programme works with young people aged 15+ who often have a wide range of unmet needs, supporting them with a blend of one-to-one mentoring, employment placements and skills-based group work. Each young person gains opportunities to access direct work placements over an 8-week development programme, with flexible one-to-one lead-in and follow-on support to design their learning pathways and reflect on their progress. Key emphasis is placed on this one-to one support, which can be as long or as short as the young person needs.

Essential to the programme’s success is a person-centred approach, and a core part of the role involves building positive, trusting relationships with young people. These relationships are the foundation of any ‘push’ needed for the development of confidence, skills, and the unlocking of aspirations and ambitions. As the role works with vulnerable young people, many of whom may have been let down by authorities and leaders in their lives, there is a balance to be struck to achieve this. A compassionate approach is essential in this regard, providing safety, non-judgement and complete acceptance. Also essential is a willingness to safely challenge young people to step outside their comfort zone and use their imagination to form their aims. Finally, working with vulnerable young people requires setting and communicating professional and personal boundaries clearly and transparently.

This role also entails skilled partnership work, building wider connections which support young people with opportunities both in and out of Scran, and sustains their next steps with collaborative follow-on work. These could be with the business community, the statutory sector, or wider community opportunities.

The role will lead the delivery of our Scransitions Programme, a carefully designed model with a clearly articulated developmental approach. The programme’s success is tried and tested, and hinges on adaptability – it has developed iteratively over time to reflect the changing needs of young people. Record keeping is therefore critical to the success of both the programme and the role.

Young people’s journeys are personal and unique, but we need to capture them in effective ways to ensure any development is reflected and celebrated. Moreover, young people’s voices shape the

approach and structure of our delivery, so intelligent feedback and evaluation is integral to sustaining the programme and achieving the best outcomes for young people.

It is expected that the successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to excellence in all aspects of the job, and demonstrate the values of Scran Academy.

This role embodies our values: We Love, We Trust, We Unite and We Lead:

We Love – the successful candidate will nurture young people. They will care deeply and see all behaviour as communication that deserves a dignified response. They will be non-judgemental and take a trauma-informed approach.

We Trust – the successful candidate will believe in the potential of young people. They will trust them to be the expert of their own life and circumstance. They will support young people to take responsible steps in learning, work and life.

We Unite – the successful candidate will courageously bring young people together. They will aim to create safe spaces where stepping outside comfort zones is supported and encouraged.

We Lead – the successful candidate will see all young people as leaders in their own lives. They will be ready to both lead and be led by young people. They will listen and provide a platform for young people to lead their learning and thrive.
