About Us

New Directions West Lothian is an independent charity and social care provider based in West Lothian. We have an excellent reputation for the quality of our care and support.

New Directions West Lothian is looking to recruit new members to join our Board of Trustees during this exciting and challenging time. For one of the roles, we are particularly interested in hearing from someone with financial experience who is willing to work with the Board to oversee the charity's financial health.

Trustees are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the organisation, ensuring its long-term sustainability and play a vital role in upholding good governance and in ensuring legal and regulatory compliance.

Joining our Board is an enriching experience and even if you have not had prior experience on a Board we are interested in hearing from you.

The Board meets ten times per year, and meetings are normally held in the early evening as virtual meetings. In addition, you will be expected to attend an Annual General Meeting and an Annual Away Day. Board members serve on a voluntary basis.

We would love to hear from you if you have a passion for supporting the provision of quality care and support and a desire to make a difference and we are happy to have an informal chat about the role.

What do you get out of being a Trustee?

Being a Trustee is a great way to ‘give something back’ while developing your skills in influencing, debating and negotiating and in strategic and organisational planning. You will have the opportunity to meet, network and learn from people who may have very different professional backgrounds and life experiences to your own.

New Directions West Lothian strives to be an inclusive recruiter, and values working with people who are representative of the Organisation’s diverse community.

Benefits:

• Pension: 12% employer’s & 5% employee’s contribution (after 3 months’ service)
• Annual Leave: 36 days (incl. public holidays) + an extra day for your birthday
• Death in Service benefit: 3 times annual salary
• Optional Private Medical Insurance plan
• Access to Blue Light Card
• Learning and Development opportunities

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time.

People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.

As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at speed.

As part of an ongoing strategy of development SCAA is looking for a motivated, focussed and committed individual to help raise the profile of the service and raise the funding required to continue to provide support across Scotland.

This role will be based either in Perth, at Scone Airport, or at our Aberdeen base, at Aberdeen Airport, where our SCAA emergency response helicopters and crew are located. SCAA supports a flexible working pattern and hybrid working. As well as working alongside the fundraising and communications team you will be working with the SCAA pilots and paramedics. You will be part of a dynamic team responsible for maximising engagement and income from individual and regular donors.

The Individual Giving Manager is a new role for SCAA, demonstrating our commitment to growth in the coming years. As this is a new role, the successful candidate will be able to make the role their own, determining success alongside the Head of Individual Giving and Engagement. You will help SCAA to achieve their ambitious goals and continue to provide a life-saving essential service across Scotland into the future through a programme of sustainable funding.
