Do you want to empower families to thrive not just survive as they juggle caring with the additional struggles that life throws at us all?

Can you help families - as individuals and as a whole – to feel good about themselves, their health, their wellbeing, their caring and their relationships?

Will you help families be a space and a place where a child or young person can live and grow to their full potential?

This is a new pilot project providing intensive, holistic support specifically to East Dunbartonshire families who are juggling caring and parenting.

Although initially for one year, there is a commitment to seek additional funds.

Experience of providing support essential.

With Kids

Our lives are so often shaped by our childhoods.

When problems are bottled up in those important early years, they can grow into mental health issues later in life.

But young children don’t have the language skills to properly express what they’re going through. And often when their emotions do come out they can be loud, or scary or get them into trouble.

That’s where With Kids comes in - a unique children’s mental health charity operating across the central belt at the forefront of the provision of Play Therapy in Scotland

Our trained specialists give children the freedom to express their difficulties on their own terms. Using the one form of communication that comes naturally to them – play.

Play Therapy empowers children to understand themselves better, to process life events, and to build confidence and self-esteem. So they can better regulate their emotions, build stronger relationships with their families and peers, and learn to cope with life’s many challenges.

We work alongside the children from an early age, along with their parents, carers, schools and communities – aiming to build long term, self-supporting networks.

Our priorities are to contribute to addressing cycles of poverty by improving the mental health of children, their families and the wider community.

Because difficulties in childhood don’t have to direct our whole lives.

Together we can take a new path.

“I have to give a five-star rating to With Kids. They support me and my family as individuals and as a group. This is the best way of working”

“I love working here and feeling part of a team, an organisation with such as positive approach, shared values, strengths and connections, care and focus on child welfare. With Kids do things properly and are always looking to improve”.

The role

This new role brings an exciting opportunity for a highly organised and motivated individual with extensive fundraising experience to shape the future of With Kids.

You can expect a supportive management team, who take joint responsibility, while you take on the management of all strands of income generation and fundraising. Through this work

you will be helping to shape the future of With Kids and enabling our staff to provide children and families with a high-quality service.

Are you able to hit the ground running with applications to trusts and foundations, while developing other income generation activities and relationships to build income from corporate bodies, individuals, and communities?

The post-holder has the scope to build our relationships with corporate bodies and increase income from individual and community fundraising activities. The role may also lead on, and provide support to, the Business Development Manager and CEO in tendering opportunities.

Ideally you will be a skilled communicator and have the ability to use digital tools and lead on managing online campaigns for income generation.

It’s not expected that the post holder will necessarily have experience in all of these areas, so there is scope to influence the content of our fundraising strategy and develop new skills.
