If you are looking for a new challenge, then Penumbra may be for you.
Penumbra is one of Scotland’s leading mental health charities, providing a wide range of community based and recovery
focussed mental health services. We’re proud pioneers in the peer movement, with 27% of our colleagues employed
in peer support roles. Our creative and forward-thinking approach to mental health recovery has earned us the
reputation as a key influencer in public campaigning, policy and practice, and a highly respected provider of
high quality and innovative mental health recovery services.
As our Quality and Improvement Manager, you will support our services to gather the data and evidence they need to
understand both areas of strength, and of challenges, and to create development plans based on this evidence. A
key focus will be leading and managing our Quality Assurance Framework. Substantially revised and relaunched in
2023 with a brand new digital resource, this approach allows our services to self-assess against our strategic
priorities and core quality areas, combined with objective review by the Quality and Improvement Manager. Other
key responsibilities are the oversight of our operational policies and acting as Penumbra’s Data Protection
Officer.
You truly will have the ability to influence what we do, developing and implementing your ideas to demonstrate what
you can achieve, which will make a difference to the people we support.
As a mental health charity, we really value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be
joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including
all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.
We can offer you a tonne of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some pretty amazing humans
every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and
informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
