Are you passionate about making a difference to the climate crisis by inspiring parents to take action? Do you have experience of community organising . If so, we’d 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 became a charity less than 2 years ago as a result of grassroots parent organising across Scotland and are now a small staff team with a growing network of activists. We are seeking to make climate action the norm among all parents in Scotland. We are in the midst of a big step change, increasing our influence and reach across the country, and we need you to help us in doing that. This post will build on work undertaken in Aberdeen. It is the only post in the North of Scotland.

Main tasks

• Building and growing a solid network of parent volunteers in Aberdeen, and supporting them to mobilise to combat climate issues that affect them.
• Skilling up the network of volunteers by delivering appropriate trainings and supporting them to build their own networks.
• Collaborating with other climate organisations in Aberdeen to amplify each other's work and building a stronger climate network in the region which supports the sharing of information across groups at key times.
• Piloting our successful Air Pollution programme in Aberdeen schools; editing resources to be area-specific, building relationships with the education department and recruiting and training parent volunteers to deliver air pollution talks to parents in schools.
• Contribute to hustings taking part in Aberdeen and surrounding areas in the run up to the Scottish Parliament election.
• Share the work taking place in Aberdeen on our community WhatsApp channels and socials
• Travel to the Central Belt regularly to meet and exchange learnings with the wider PfFS team

Are you right for the role?

We want to create a world which is climate-safe for all children, everywhere. Forever. This is not just a job but an outlook, a vision and a way of being which inspires change through hope, love and connection….and work! Our key values which thread through all delivery are: Hope with Unity, Kindness and Compassion, Truth and Honesty, Self-responsibility, Dignity and Respect, Quality, Open Minds and Curiosity and a Learning Mindset - skilling ourselves up and others is ongoing. If this resonates with you then you’re in the right place!

• Our aim is to reach communities from marginalised groups whose voices are least often heard. Do you have lived experience or have you worked with communities who experience multiple barriers?
• Are you passionate about making a difference to the climate crisis by challenging the systems that perpetuate it, and do you understand the challenges of being a parent activist?
• Are you a good networker who can bring people together and undertake partnership working?
• Do you have experience of talking to different audiences and tailoring your messaging towards their priorities?
• Are you able to work both autonomously and in a team, and prioritise a busy workload?
• Do you have knowledge or experience of community organising? We can train you, but a basis in this approach would be extremely helpful.

What we offer

• Three days per week on a self-employed basis at £200 per day for 46 weeks until 31 December 2026 (£27,600)
• We offer a flexible working environment, ideal for juggling the pressures of being a working parent.
• Working from home
• We are a fledgling organisation so your skills/expertise will help shape our direction
• You will work closely with the CEO and our Community Organiser, who will support you throughout
• There is a high likelihood that we can continue the work undertaken in this role past the current funding period.

We are looking for a highly organised and experienced bookkeeper to join our team on a part-time basis. You will handle our financial administration and ensure we meet all regulatory requirements. You will manage the day-to-day financial operations using the Xero accounting software platform, working closely with CEO and Engagement and Operations Lead.

Job Description (PDF) I Application Form (Word Document)

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

• Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
• Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
• Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
• Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:

• Personal development and employability programmes
• Self-help coaching
• Supported accommodation
• Care at home
• Housing support
• Befriending
• Social cafes

The Service

The Link Academy team works primarily with people with complex backgrounds. The experiences of these young people often result in low self-esteem and confidence, poor mental health and a pattern of destructive behaviours. Because of this, these young people find it difficult to manage key transitions such as moving into work or training, into a tenancy or leaving care. The service works hard and creatively to maintain the early engagement of participants. By offering mental health and wellbeing programmes, independent living skills and a wide range of qualifications to support their progression, we give young people the tools to better manage their own mental health. Doing so helps them break negative and destructive cycles of behaviour and thinking, with the aim of putting them on the path to having the best life possible. Staff are trained in using a trauma-informed approach to support young people to build confidence, develop resilience and realise their goals for the future.

The Job

‘The Right Track (Navigating Positive Futures)’ is a preventive programme which focuses on supporting young people at risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system, through the provision of one-to-one and group-based support. The Development Worker will have a background in criminal justice work and will support young people facing issues including youth crime, antisocial behaviour, family breakdown and school-related difficulties, to achieve their goals and aspirations, providing them with practical tools and techniques to overcome the challenges they are facing.

The Development Worker will also provide support to parents and caregivers, as well as leading a team of peer education volunteers (16-24) who will use their own lived experiences of the criminal justice system to positively influence young people supported through the programme.

About You

You will be an experienced and motivated professional, educated to SCQF Level 7 (HNC or equivalent), with a strong background in youth work. With at least three years’ experience in a professional youth work setting, you will have a proven track record of developing and delivering engaging programmes that support young people to achieve positive outcomes.

You will hold (or be willing to work towards) an SCQF Assessor and Verifier qualification (LD9–LD11) and have experience of creating and delivering effective training to both young people and adults. You will be confident in developing high-quality training materials and digital resources, and skilled in evaluating programmes using a range of tools to evidence impact and outcomes.

You will have a sound understanding of the current Scottish policy landscape and the challenges facing young people and families. You’ll be able to apply this knowledge in your work, ensuring that programmes and support remain relevant, inclusive, and responsive to need. A commitment to mental health awareness and the use of self-help resources will be central to your approach.

You’ll bring excellent communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly in writing and in person, and to build strong relationships with young people, colleagues, and partner agencies. Your approach will be trauma-informed, enabling you to create safe and supportive environments that help young people thrive.

Highly organised and adaptable, you’ll have excellent planning skills, a “can-do” attitude, and the flexibility to work across different areas when required. Proficiency in ICT and confidence in using digital tools are essential, as is a full driving licence and access to a car. Evening and weekend work may occasionally be required to meet the needs of the service.
