Why should you apply?

Full driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes is necessary. Travel Allowance paid.
You will become registered with SSSC if not already registered.
Applications from people who have personal experience of mental health difficulties are encouraged.
Are you called to Mission?
Do you want to help bring life in all its fullness to people living in poverty across Asia and Africa in the name of Jesus? Do you enjoy building relationships, public speaking, and strategic thinking? Are you able to inspire others to bring lasting change? If so, we would love to hear from you!
You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet.
Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.
We are looking for an inspirational leader to develop and deliver fundraising plans in Scotland, and to provide excellent care for faithful Scottish supporters. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across Scotland.
You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising management team based in Peterborough. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see your work first hand.
We’re looking for:
• A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches, community groups and businesses
• Proven success in fundraising
• A confident networker
• Experience of managing volunteers
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
• The ability to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy.
TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving people of all faiths and none. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the Scotland Country Head to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in supporting churches.
A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.
TLM has a zero-tolerance policy towards any abuse, neglect and exploitation of all people. Successful candidates are expected to understand, sign, and comply with all organisational policies, including the Safeguarding Code of Conduct and the Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy. Recruitment to all roles within TLM includes criminal record checks and the collection of relevant references. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from joining us as an employee; this will depend on the circumstances of any offences. We are committed to diversity and welcome applications from appropriately qualified people from all sections of the community, who have permission to work in the UK.

ABOUT EAST LOTHIAN COMMUNITY RAIL PARTNERSHIP
Community Rail Partnerships (CRP) were first established in England in the 1990s as a formal mechanism to reinvigorate local and rural railways. CRP status provides a framework for community involvement in strategic planning, development and operation of a specific railway line.
Since 2014, the East Lothian Community Rail Partnership has been pulling together a wide range of local organisations with an interest in communities and sustainable transport, to fix the link between railway stations, town centres and the surrounding areas, and realise an integrated transport network accessible to all. We work with four train operators (ScotRail, LNER, TransPennine Express, and Cross Country), Transport Scotland, East Lothian Council, the Regional Transport Partnership (SEStran), local businesses and community groups towards the following aims:
ABOUT THE VACANCY
Harry Barker has been chairing East Lothian CRP since its inception in 2014 and is now preparing to pass on the reins of a well-established and respected organisation. In addition the time is right to expand the Board and also appoint a vice chair. Examples of projects completed to date include:
Projects have always been dependent on external funding which to date has not proved problematical, and, as such, the incoming Chair will have the flexibility to pursue their own agenda. The CRP is financially sound and new ways of operating are being explored by The Community Rail Network and the new Chair will be well placed to provide input to these.
East Lothian CRP has no paid staff, and projects are led by volunteers under direction from the Board, and therefore the amount of work involved can vary but can be expected to be around 10 hours per month for the Chair.
DUTIES OF THE CHAIR
Responsibilities include:
BENEFITS
You will receive a ‘staff’ rail pass from ScotRail permitting free rail travel throughout Scotland when travelling on ScotRail trains.
Reasonable expenses will be paid if required to travel on other rail services and/or stay overnight.
REQUIREMENTS
The successful applicant will be expected to support public transport in general, with a keen interest in integration between modes such as buses, active travel and rail.
A willingness of Board members to attend committees and conferences is essential (expenses will be covered) and these will give valuable access to professional railway staff and management on the front line, where your views can be heard. These include:
A knowledge of railways and their workings is desirable but not essential.
Living in East Lothian and using the county’s rail services from time to time would be advantageous.
You will be expected to liaise with the station adoption groups from time to time. They have a separate relationship with ScotRail.
You will be expected to be pro-active in instructing the website to be kept up to date via the CRP’s appointed webmaster, and in responding to public enquiries which come via the website. You will not be required to answer complaints from the travelling public but direct these to ScotRail for attention.
From time to time it may be necessary to communicate with the local Press (East Lothian Courier and occasionally Edinburgh Evening News).
The Vacancy: As a skilled Social Care Manager, you will be joining a team of five other Support Advisor’s who are dedicated to supporting the people we work for to live their good lives. Across the Lanarkshire area, we support around 30 people who receive varying support from committed and dedicated teams, supporting people to live in their own home and be a valued part of their community. You will work alongside your Area Lead to manage and develop highly bespoke services designed with the people we work for at the centre.
The Brief: Support people we work for to live their good life…To achieve this, you will be part of a friendly and supportive team of experienced Support Advisors who walk alongside people we work to manage their support. You will ensure each person we work for receives high quality, personalised and aspirational support which keeps them at centre of everything. You will ensure that people we work for are empowered to enjoy everyday living and are part of the community they live in. You will be outcome focused and have a keen eye for detail to ensure people we work for have the high-quality support they deserve.
About You:You will have a proven track record in Social Care Leadership, including management of team members and supporting people to achieve their outcomes. You will be authentic, flexible, patient and be able to plan ahead. You will be assertive, confident, resilient and be able to think outside the box to solve problems that may arise. You need to be a team player and a self-starter all at once who thrives on doing good work. You will be able to adopt a supporting and coaching management style with the team members you line manage to get the best out of support teams working with people we work for as well as experience of performance management.
Your Skills: Experience of working with adults with additional support needs is essential as is a knowledge of Self Direct Support. If you have knowledge of Individual Service Funds, this is also desirable. It is essential that you can demonstrate excellent communication skills, be IT savvy, and be able to plan & prioritise your workload independently. You will have an in-depth knowledge of Person Centred Planning and developing detailed Care Plans. You should also have experience of working alongside a wealth of multi-disciplinary colleagues and be able to build positive relationships with families and loved ones of the people we work for. At heart, you will be a people person who can connect people we work for to their communities and have a ‘can do’ approach.
A relevant qualification in line with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) (an SVQ 3 in Health & Social Care) or a willingness to undertake study to achieve this is a requirement of this role.
The Reward: Be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking organisation working actively to promote and implement a human rights-based approach and active citizenship, supporting people to live their best lives and being a key player in teamwork.
This role is to cover the Motherwell Locality in North Lanarkshire but may include work in other localities when required. This role is hybrid, working from our base in Bellshill, the communities where people we work for live, and some home working. Occasional travel to other areas to attend training/meetings can be a requirement of the role.
