The Hibernian Community Foundation is looking to appoint a passionate and driven Safeguarding and Youth Lead to support the team in making sure HCF remains inclusive, responsive and safe. The successful candidate will oversee and manage our Safeguarding processes working with our Heads of Service/staff and liaise with our partner agencies, participants and families.

The post will also include some time co-designing and delivering youth-focused community programmes that reflect the needs, aspirations and lived experiences of young people.

OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANISATION

The Iona Community is an international, ecumenical Christian movement working for justice and peace, the rebuilding of community and the renewal of worship.

Our Community was founded in Glasgow, Scotland in 1938 by Rev George MacLeod, a visionary and social reformer.

MISSION OF THE IONA COMMUNITY

Inspired by our faith, we pursue justice and peace in and through community.

JOB PURPOSE

Iona Abbey is a place of welcome, hospitality and challenge, through our daily rhythm of worship, meals, shared tasks and guest programme. The work and presence of volunteers is essential as we build community week by week. Our volunteers come from all over the world and from all walks of life, representing a wide range of experiences, age groups, cultural backgrounds and faith traditions.

At Iona Abbey, we typically have around 15 volunteers at any one time. Most volunteers are here for between 6 and 12 weeks, so there are many welcomes and farewells throughout the season, from early March to mid-November. Over the season we welcome up to around 80 volunteers in total.

The primary purpose of the job is to ensure that all volunteers receive an appropriate level of support and supervision, from before they arrive until they leave. The postholder will also co-ordinate the recruitment process in close liaison with the Operations Manager and be responsible for encouraging and organising social events that help build the team.

During the season, a large proportion of the time will be spent on welcoming, inducting, and carrying out 1-to-1 supervision with volunteers. The bulk of recruitment for the following year’s volunteer programme is done during the winter, working closely with the Operations Manager and Heads of Departments.

Introduction

Community Land Scotland is recruiting a Partnership Coordinator for the Inclusive Ownership project.

Inclusive Ownership is a new five-year UK-wide partnership funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. The project brings together Community Land Scotland, CLES (Centre for Local Economies), The Ubele Initiative, Shared Assets, Coalfields Regeneration Trust and Cwmpas to support more communities to take ownership of land and buildings.

The project focuses on urban and post-industrial communities and aims to make community ownership more accessible, particularly for communities facing higher levels of deprivation and Black and Minoritised communities. Through direct community support, policy development, learning and partnership working, the project will help communities develop sustainable, income-generating assets and contribute to community wealth building and local economic resilience.

About the role

The Partnership Coordinator will play a central role in the successful delivery of the Inclusive Ownership project, supporting collaboration between partners across Scotland, Wales and England.

Working closely with the Inclusive Ownership Manager, the postholder will help coordinate project activity, maintain strong communication between partners and ensure the project operates effectively. The role will support governance, learning, monitoring and evaluation, partnership communications and stakeholder engagement.

The Partnership Coordinator will help ensure learning is shared across the partnership, support the delivery of the Partnership Board and Advisory Board, and contribute to developing a collaborative and inclusive approach to project delivery.

This role is ideally suited to someone who enjoys bringing people together, building strong relationships and creating the systems and processes that enable partnerships to succeed.

As a key member of the Inclusive Ownership team, the Partnership Coordinator will support the project’s aim of making community ownership more accessible to communities that have traditionally faced barriers to ownership, including communities experiencing higher levels of deprivation and Black and Minoritised communities.

The main objectives of this post, and outcomes to be delivered are to:

• Coordinate partnership activity across Scotland, Wales and England to support the successful delivery of the Inclusive Ownership project.
• Build strong relationships with partners and support effective communication across the project.
• Support the Partnership Board and Advisory Board and help ensure effective project governance.
• Organise cross-nation learning activities, meetings and events that bring partners together.
• Support monitoring, evaluation and reporting across the partnership.
• Help create an inclusive and collaborative partnership culture that supports communities to take ownership of land and buildings.
