Join our Board of Management and Let Learning Flourish

City of Glasgow College is seeking to fill two vacancies on our Board. We are delighted to invite applications from people with a belief in the value of college education and a commitment to widening access, lifelong learning and the student experience.

Who Are We?

We are Scotland’s largest professional and technological education and skills college – and the third largest in the UK. The College traces its roots back to 1850 and our core purpose is to “Let Learning Flourish”. Our commitment to excellence, innovation and inspiration is recognised in Scotland, across the UK and throughout the world.

Our multi-award-winning, state-of-the-art, twin-site campus in the heart of Glasgow offers outstanding resources and opportunities for students to gain essential skills and nationally and internationally recognised qualifications – from entry-level to degree-level study, as well as chartered professional qualifications. We've prepared over 100,000 graduates for the world of work.

Our Board

Our Board, as the College’s governing body, is responsible for setting our strategic direction, ensuring its effective management and delivering high-quality learning and outcomes. Board members serve on a voluntary basis, with reasonable expenses reimbursed, and spend approximately 10 working days throughout the year to fulfil the core duties and responsibilities of their roles. Meetings are hybrid, take place in the late afternoon/early evening and last approximately two hours.

Make A Difference and Let Learning Flourish

Whether you have served on a Board before or this is the first time you have considered it, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute your skills and experience and share your ideas to shape the future of the College. Together as a Board, you will play a pivotal role in guiding our strategies and upholding good governance – ensuring we remain an inspirational place of learning, an excellent place to work, and an innovative and valued partner with industry.

We Value Diversity

The College is committed to ensuring it represents the diversity of the city and region the College serves. We, therefore, encourage applications from groups currently under-represented on the boards of Scotland’s public bodies, including women, disabled people, those of different cultural and social backgrounds and people under the age of 50.

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.

About us

Anyone working in Throughcare and Aftercare will already know who we are and what we do. That we have a strong reputation for living our values and are well respected for our approach to co-design with care experienced young people transitioning into adulthood, care leavers, and the workforce that supports them.

For anyone else reading this advert, you should know that we are Scotland’s only national charity and membership organisation for all those working with young people leaving care. We have a unique blend of statutory, third sector and private sector members who have the responsibility and accountability to improve the life chances of Scotland's care-experienced young people, and we support them through the following 5 pillars of our strategic plan:

• Listening to Young People
• Connecting Members
• Influencing Policy
• A system that privileges relationships
• All underpinned by: Good Governance.

At the centre of all our work is the voice of young people/adults leaving care and making the change to the system, policy and practice that will allow them to live happy successful lives on their own terms.

As we orientate to delivering on the Promise in 2024 and beyond, and to ensure the rights and voices of care experienced people and the workforce around them are heard, we are building capacity into the operational management of our team to accelerate our strategic priorities.

So if Staf sounds like the type of organisation you would like to contribute to; if you are open to working hard to support the internal culture and approach to being part of a small team that has each other’s back to deliver on our strategic priorities as you do the work itself; and if you have the required skills and experience to ‘hit the ground running’ then we would love to hear from you.

In return we can offer you the salary, annual leave and pension contribution outlined in each job description; flexibility over work base; an internal organisational culture committed to space for reflective supervision and team committed to working in a trauma-informed way and living our Values, We Listen. We Care. We Love.
