About Scran Academy

Our Vision is a Scotland where every young person has access to their human right of an education that meets their needs, unlocks their aspirations, and enables a future with dignity.

We are on a mission to see every young person, regardless of background or barrier, realise their full potential in learning, work and life. Too many young people in our most challenged communities never realise their talents or aspirations due to the effects of social inequality and poverty. Scran Academy exists to change that.

We are a pioneering youth work catering charity, supporting young people facing barriers to success using the power of food, cooking and hospitality. We operate an innovative social enterprise model, utilising a busy food truck and two cafes in NHS sites across Edinburgh to support several relational education and employment programmes. Our approach is to use meaningful learning and work experiences in supportive real-life settings to empower young people to become leaders in their own lives..

About the Candidate

This is a role for people who are passionate about making transformative change in the lives of young people.

Scran Academy is in a phase of exciting growth. Our strategic priorities are to Scale Sustainably, develop Smarter Solutions and provide Support Sooner for young people in Edinburgh’s most challenged communities.

We are building towards an organisation that can support young people across every high school in Edinburgh, delivering reflexive, effective programmes that prevent crisis and create real opportunity.

We are looking for trustees who are energised by this ambition and ready to help lift Scran into its next phase. You will bring experience, perspective and strategic expertise, alongside a clear focus on the needs, potential and outcomes of the young people we support.

We are open to meeting prospective trustees with a broad range of experiences, but would be particularly interested in meeting people with experience in:

• Youth work and CLD delivery
• Charity law and governance, and financial oversight
• Strategic City of Edinburgh Council engagement
• Scaling a hospitality business
• Marketing, PR and communications

Role Purpose

The purpose of a Trustee at Scran Academy is to provide strategic oversight and sound judgement as the organisation grows in scale, reach and complexity.

Working with fellow trustees, office bearers and the leadership team, you will help ensure that Scran’s development remains focused, sustainable and aligned to its purpose.

This includes supporting the organisation to make robust decisions that enable expansion, strengthening its model and maintaining the quality and integrity of its work as it grows.

This role is critical to changing young people’s lives by supporting the delivery of Scran Academy’s Academy Programme, our structured, year-long alternative education provision for young people disengaged from mainstream schooling.

The programme takes an innovative blended approach, combining youth work, skills-building, accredited learning, and social enterprise work placements, supporting young people to re-engage with learning and progress to positive destinations.

About the Candidate

We are looking for an experienced and committed youth work or community education practitioner who is motivated by supporting young people to engage, learn and progress within a structured, year-long programme.

The successful candidate will be confident working with young people who may be ambivalent about education, attendance or authority, and comfortable working to routines, timetables and clear expectations. They will use youth work relationships to build trust, consistency and motivation, balancing warmth with appropriate challenge.

They will have a strong understanding of youth work principles, safeguarding and professional boundaries, and will work collaboratively as part of a strong, trusting team.

They will also share Scran Academy’s values, and be motivated by supporting young people to make positive change in their own lives.

Role Purpose

Working alongside the Academy Programme Lead, the Youth Development Worker will support the planning, preparation and delivery of the Academy Programme curriculum. The role combines group-based youth work, 121 developmental support and vocational learning, with a focus on engagement, progression, accreditation and positive outcomes for young people.

This role supports the delivery of Scran Academy’s Scransitions Employability Programme, a structured, multi-phase programme designed to support young people to progress towards work, education or training. Scransitions is uniquely youth-led – the programme is adaptable to the needs of each individual.

The postholder will be responsible for managing 121 relationships with a diverse range of inspiring young people, delivering personalised support across a structured, three-phase employability journey, including follow-on support post-programme. Working closely with the Scransitions Programme Lead, this role focuses on direct 121 support, helping young people to gain skills, confidence, and self-belief, and unlocking their aspirations toward a positive future.

About the Candidate

This role is suitable for an experienced youth work or CLD professional passionate about supporting young people to become leaders in their own lives.

We are looking for a skilled and compassionate youth work or employability practitioner with experience of intensive 121 support, who is confident working with young people facing multiple barriers to progression.

The successful candidate will be organised, resilient and relational, able to build trust and respect with young people, whilst prioritising a diversity of presenting needs. They will be confident working within clear programme phases, tracking progress and responding to risk, while maintaining strong professional boundaries.

They will also share Scran Academy’s values, and be motivated by supporting young people to make positive change in their own lives.

Role Purpose

The Scransitions Youth Development Worker will provide 121 employability-focused support to young people engaged in our employability programme. The role centres on building positive adult relationships with young people, supporting their personal development, addressing safeguarding concerns, promoting risk-reduction, and unlocking their aspirations for work and wider life.

Mission Statement

Our long-term vision is to end youth homelessness. Our more immediate mission is to ensure that every young person in Scotland has access to expert youth specific services to assist them to avoid, resolve and move on from homelessness, making it rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Context

We have an excellent opportunity for someone with experience of project & resource management, business organisation, facilities support and administration to join our People and Business Support Team based in Edinburgh. We are looking for someone who thrives working in a fast-paced but fun environment and loves to be involved in a variety of business support and facilities management tasks. Working in collaboration with our People and Business Support Manager, you will help create and improve the successful delivery of our support and facilities services across the entire organisation.

There will be opportunities to take the lead on a wide portfolio of projects from inception to delivery.

You will need to have problem identification and analytical skills – being able to spot an area for development, and then actively working to improve it.

We offer a supportive team culture, regular supervision, training and development opportunities, and the chance to lead a flagship project with real local impact.

U-evolve is an Edinburgh mental health charity for 11–21-year-olds. Founded in 2015, we support over 200 young people annually with free to access to mental health support. Each year we deliver over 1,000 hours of individual support to help Edinburgh’s young people feel better. We’re currently hiring for a Mental Health Coach to join our Service Delivery team.

About the role

We are recruiting for an additional Mental Health Coach to join our team to help us meet demand. The coach will provide 1:1 support for young people, as well as supporting our groupwork and drop-in programmes. Our Mental Health Coaching is person centered, strengths based and incorporates counselling, coaching and youth work approaches. The aim of all our support services is to help young people to have improved mental health and to feel better. Through mental health coaching we help the young people to learn techniques to manage their wellbeing and work closely with community partners to provide a holistic service.

Who are we looking for

We want to recruit people to join our team who share our vision, values, and passion to support young people to thrive. It is also important to us that you are someone who learns from the young people you support and can help our young people’s voices to be heard. We are looking for people who have experience in working with young people aged 11 – 21, from a range of backgrounds including youth work, mental health services, support work and education. Whilst therapeutic experience is useful, it is not

essential for this role as full training and ongoing development will be provided. We are an organisation working with trauma and so it is important that you are willing to take part in regular group reflective practice to ensure our work is ethically sound as well as to look after your own wellbeing. As much of our work supports young people in North Edinburgh, we would also welcome people with experience or knowledge of living or working within this community.

Safeguarding Statement

U-evolve is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All staff are expected to share this commitment and to work in line with our safeguarding policies and procedures. This role includes working directly with young people and therefore requires a strong understanding of safeguarding practice. The successful candidate will be required to join the PVG and will be subject to appropriate pre-employment checks.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement

U-evolve is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all young people feel safe, respected, and supported. We are equally committed to building a diverse staff team that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those who are underrepresented in the sector, and are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible recruitment process for all.

Working at U-evolve

We are a small team of nine. We value learning and development and view this as a crucial element of mental health support. As such all staff are trauma skilled and trained, alongside taking part in a full and rich annual training programme. All service delivery staff receive extensive and relevant supervision to support the work they do.

Benefits

• Generous holiday package
• Enhanced sick pay
• Flexible working patterns
• Staff wellbeing scheme
• Learning and Development Policy to support staff training and development.
• Opportunity to contribute to the growth and impact of our work
