About us

The Super Power Agency exists to help young people write their story and to stay with them while they grow into it.

We are a small organisation with big ideas, grounded in the belief that creative writing is not a ‘nice to have’, but an essential skill.

Writing builds confidence, literacy, empathy and self-expression.

When young people are given the space to imagine freely and the structure to shape their ideas, their worlds open up.

The Role

We are looking for someone who believes in the long game. Someone who understands that impact is not only measured in numbers, but in confidence gained, stories remembered, and lives quietly shaped. Someone who can offer strategic guidance, governance oversight and thoughtful challenge all while holding fast to the values that make this organisation special.

The coming years are significant. We are growing our reach, deepening partnerships, expanding into new communities,

and working towards a long-held ambition: creating a dedicated writing centre where young people can flourish and write freely.

As our Chair of Trustees, you’ll provide leadership, support and a bit of magic to help guide our charity’s vision and direction.

• Lead the Board in shaping our strategy and keeping our mission at the heart of every decision.
• Work closely with the CEO to champion creativity, confidence and sustainability across everything we do.
• Be an ambassador for the Super Power Agency by helping to build partnerships, open doors and spread our story far and wide.
• Ensure our governance and finances are strong, inclusive and focused on supporting young people.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to make a real difference while bringing their leadership, collaboration and

imagination to the table.

Location:We operate a hybrid way of working and are interested in attracting directors from across Scotland. We can also accommodate directors from across the UK. However, there will be an expectation that directors will attend at least one meeting a year in Edinburgh which is the office base of Children in Scotland.

Hours: Four board meetings a year including preparation time plus a half day strategy session. In addition, you may be invited to be involved in other discrete areas of work, depending on your skills and interests.

Salary:Voluntary position, but reasonable expenses will be covered.

About the role

It is an exciting time to lead a children’s charity. The policy context in Scotland offers a lot of potential. As Scotland’s largest national membership body for individuals and organisations working with and for babies, children and young people, Children in Scotland plays a significant role in bringing organisations together to make the most of this potential. As a board member, you would be playing a role in an organisation that is seeking to create a Scotland where all children can access their rights and all children can flourish.

We are currently looking to appoint new members to our board. We have created a supportive, dynamic and welcoming board, and we would give you the support you need to be able to get the best out of this experience. We are committed to diversity and inclusion in all our work. We are keen to attract people to the board with a diverse set of skills, experience, background and identity. We would be particularly delighted to hear from you if you are from a less-represented group to reflect our broader equality, diversity and inclusion commitments.

We are seeking young trustees – aged 18 up to and including 25. In addition, we are seeking skills and experience in IT and Digital leadership, communications and marketing and we would also like to hear from those with a legal background.

If you don’t have these specific skills and experience but still feel passionate about the role, please look at the recruitment pack and find out how to apply. If you are enthusiastic, committed and have an interesting set of skills to bring to the board, you might be exactly the person we need.
