Are you experienced in building community power and supporting communities to get active through walking and cycling schemes?

Are you passionate about tackling air pollution, supporting families to choose active travel, and raising the voices of communities most affected by climate change but least often heard? If so, we would love to hear from you!

We are particularly keen to hear from people who experience marginalisation and minoritisation or who are often excluded from decision-making processes. For example, people of colour; people from working-class backgrounds; people from LGBTQ+ and migrant communities; care-experienced young people and people with disabilities.

About us

Parents for Future Scotland began as a grassroots group of parents seeking to make climate action the norm among all parents in Scotland. We became a registered charity in 2024 and are now a small, self-employed team with a growing network of activists.

We seek to make climate action the norm among all parents in Scotland. We are growing our influence and reach across the country, supporting parents and communities to take action on climate change and work towards a climate-safe future for every child.

About the role

We are looking for an enthusiastic, community-focused Coordinator to support schools and families across Edinburgh to improve air quality and increase walking, wheeling and cycling to school.

Working with schools, parents, community partners and the Air Pollution Manager, you will help establish and develop walking buses, bike buses and other active travel initiatives. You will support parents and community members to develop the skills and confidence to lead their own initiatives, helping create lasting change within school communities.

This is a hands-on role involving relationship-building, community organising, volunteer development, training and practical support for active travel schemes and air pollution workshops. You will also help schools develop sustainable approaches to active travel, encourage peer-to-peer learning and contribute to the wider aims of Parents for Future Scotland.

• Establish strong relationships with key school staff and maintain regular contact to support project delivery and promotion.
• Support the establishment and development of walking buses and bike buses across participating schools.
• Assist with route planning, risk assessments and volunteer coordination.
• Attend and support bike and walking buses on the mornings they operate until they are fully established and self-sustaining.
• Promote safe cycling practices and active travel behaviours within school communities.
• Identify potential community “leads” who can galvanise groups and take ownership of walking and bike buses. Build relationships with these individuals and identify development opportunities alongside the Air Pollution Manager.
• Run training sessions for parents on topics such as starting a walking or bike bus, facilitating an air pollution workshop and developing community organising skills.
• Build a pool of volunteers able to deliver air pollution workshops in schools by training volunteers in workshop facilitation and workshop content, and arranging sessions with participating schools.
• Support the delivery of parent-to-parent air pollution workshops within schools.
• Promote Parents for Future Scotland among parents and support community members to become involved in the organisation.
• Facilitate peer-to-peer support and knowledge-sharing between schemes across different schools.
• Work closely with the Air Pollution Manager to develop and implement an effective project strategy.
• Liaise with cycling organisations, local authorities and community partners.
• Collect monitoring and evaluation data throughout the project.
• Post regularly on our social media channels and actively participate in our WhatsApp community.
• Contribute to wider discussions on active travel, climate action and public health.

The role requires availability for at least three school commute mornings per week during term time (Monday–Friday).

There may be occasions when additional mornings are required, depending on project needs. Specific mornings will be agreed with the successful candidate and planned around the needs of participating schools and the wider project.

Can you turn research and intelligence into practical opportunities that help fundraisers build stronger relationships and grow income? We are looking for a curious, analytical and collaborative Philanthropy Executive to strengthen CHAS’s prospect pipeline and help identify the people, organisations and connections with the greatest potential to support children and families across Scotland.

This is much more than a desk research role. You will combine high-quality prospect research and donor intelligence with sound judgement, relationship mapping and pipeline insight. Working closely with fundraisers and external research partners, you will identify and qualify prospective supporters, recommend routes to engagement and help ensure promising opportunities are progressed effectively.

You will produce clear briefings and evidence-based recommendations across philanthropy, corporate foundations and partnerships and campaign fundraising. You will also help maintain accurate prospect information, support regular pipeline reviews and translate complex research into practical next steps that colleagues can act on.

The role sits within CHAS’s Partnerships & Philanthropy team and will contribute to long-term fundraising growth, including our More Than A Hospice appeal. It is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys connecting insight with action and wants their work to have a clear, meaningful purpose.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will bring strong research and analytical skills, excellent judgement and the confidence to work collaboratively with colleagues across fundraising. You will have:

• Experience in prospect research, fundraising, business intelligence or another insight-led role.
• Experience of identifying and qualifying prospective supporters and producing clear research briefings, donor intelligence or similar written outputs.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to turn complex information into practical, evidence-based recommendations.
• The confidence to build trusted working relationships, contribute constructively to prospect and pipeline reviews and influence priorities through insight.
• Experience of using a CRM or comparable information system to manage accurate records, activity and next steps.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to manage several priorities and deadlines.
• A sound understanding of responsible information management, including data protection and confidentiality.

Experience of major donor, corporate foundations, or campaign fundraising would be helpful, as would experience of relationship mapping, due diligence, wealth screening or working with external research providers. These are desirable rather than essential.

About CHAS

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together, as well as supporting them with life after loss.

Our fundraising teams make this possible by building meaningful, long-term relationships with people and organisations who share our ambition. In this role, your insight will help colleagues focus on the strongest opportunities, understand prospective supporters and develop thoughtful routes to engagement.

• Flexible working: Our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid way, with time split between home and CHAS locations (predominantly Edinburgh and Glasgow). We are happy to discuss working arrangements that work for you.
• Varied, purposeful work: You will contribute across philanthropy, trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, campaigns, cultivation activity and prospect development.
• Professional growth: You will work within a supportive and ambitious team, collaborating with experienced fundraisers and specialist external research partners.
• Comprehensive benefits: CHAS offers generous annual leave and pension, incremental salary progression, access to Blue Light discounts, and health and wellbeing support.

Are you looking for an organisation where you can make a difference? Are you enthusiastic, self-motivated and have passion for helping young people achieve their goals? If so, we would like to hear from you!

Routes to Work South (RTWS) is an award-winning organisation committed to alleviating poverty and supporting unemployed South Lanarkshire residents to develop skills, confidence and knowledge required to progress into and sustain employment. We work collaboratively with partner agencies, employers, and stakeholders to deliver flexible, accessible, client-centred employability and skills services that respond to the needs of local communities and the labour market. Our services support individuals facing a range of barriers to employment, helping people progress through different stages of the employability pipeline towards positive and sustained outcomes.

Leadership at Routes to Work South

At Routes to Work South, our Leaders turn strategy into action. As part of our Leadership Team, you’ll inspire high-performing teams, drive results and ensure our services deliver improved outcomes for the people we support.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, outcomes-focused environment and are motivated by getting the best from people, driving improvement and making a real difference, this could be the role for you.

What Will the Role Involve?

This is a new leadership opportunity for someone to build on RTWS’s established track record of delivering effective youth services.

Together, these services support young people to overcome barriers, develop skills and progress towards positive destinations, contributing to improved School Leaver Destinations.

With youth unemployment and the risk of young people becoming NEET continuing to be a significant challenge, we want to broaden our reach, strengthen pathways into employment, education and training, and improve outcomes. As Youth Services Leader, you’ll have the opportunity to shape this development, bringing fresh ideas and identifying new ways to increase our impact.

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll provide strong, hands-on leadership, taking ownership of team performance and driving performance against KPIs and targets. You’ll maintain high standards of quality and customer experience while ensuring full compliance with contractual and funding requirements.

You’ll champion an inclusive, person-centred approach while providing the support and constructive challenge needed to get the best from your team. Working closely with other Leaders and the Senior Management Team, you’ll contribute to organisational priorities, turn strategy into action and help shape the future direction of RTWS’s youth services.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience of working with young people and/or adults with health and wellbeing needs.
