About the RSE

As Scotland’s National Academy with over 1,800 Fellows from academia, business, and public service who are among the most distinguished in their fields; we engage and connect nationally and internationally to share knowledge and tackle the most pressing challenges of the modern world.

This role is part of the Fellowship team; together, we are responsible for managing the Fellowship election process, delivering a programme of activities, and supporting the engagement of Fellows across the organisation.

About the role

We are seeking an organised and collaborative Admin and Data Assistant to support the day-to-day activities of the Fellowship team. You will play a key role within the team, supporting the management of Fellowship data and the use of our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, as well as general administrative duties.

You will manage Fellowship data and records relating to the nomination and election of new Fellows, update and manage membership and engagement records, and support the team with general administrative duties, including managing inbox enquiries and supporting meetings.

As part of a small team, collaboration is key, and this role will support the Fellowship Officers and the Fellowship Manager. You will also work effectively with other teams (CRM, Programme, Communications, and Records Management) to ensure that processes for inputting and managing Fellowship data follow best practices.

About you

You will bring:

• Proven experience and confidence in working with an organisation’s CRM system, and a clear understanding of the need to ensure data integrity.

• A minimum of two years of experience working in a business support role, ideally in a similar not-for-profit environment.

• A flexible and proactive approach to changing priorities.

• Strong collaboration skills and experience in liaising across different teams.

• A high attention to detail.

• Strong communication skills.

Experience in developing CRM processes and working specifically in a membership organisation is desirable, but enthusiasm and a willingness to learn are equally important.

The role is ideal for someone who thrives on varied administrative tasks and takes pride in supporting efficient, data-driven processes that help the organisation run smoothly.

George Watson’s College is looking for an organised and detail-focused Operations Officer to support the work of our Development Office.

The Operations Officer is responsible for accurately processing and reporting philanthropic income, managing the Development CRM (Raisers Edge), and working closely with the Finance Team to ensure strong controls, compliance and high-quality information.

We are seeking someone who enjoys working with data and systems, has a keen eye for detail, and values collaboration. In return, you’ll join a supportive school community and contribute to work that helps strengthen connections with alumni and create long-term impact for George Watson’s College.

About the Candidate

This is a dynamic and exciting role supporting the delivery of our work across multiple projects. Working as part of a talented staff team, the Youth Development Food Worker will both lead on and support in programmes that provide empowering and meaningful experience for young people and their communities.

Our approach is all about creating environments in which young people feel supported enough to take agency and responsibility to find their own positive way forward. We are looking for someone who instinctively chimes with this approach and can lead a professional kitchen environment which inspires young people to engage with food and cooking on their own terms. The successful candidate will know their way around a kitchen, and will likely have extensive professional catering experience – perhaps in a community setting – as well as experience working alongside young people or people with complex needs.

They will be deeply passionate about maximising the potential of all young people, and be ready to create a kitchen that supports and welcomes young people with diverse backgrounds and unmet needs. Our Youth Development Food Worker will therefore be unconditionally compassionate, patient and non-judgemental.

Role Purpose

The core purpose of Scran Academy’s Youth Development Food Worker is that of supporting young people to gain confidence, experience and skills using food and cooking.

The successful candidate will help change the lives of young people facing exclusion by supporting them using food and cooking as a vehicle to build skills and confidence. The post holder will support young people from 11+ to gain positive experiences through a blend of group work, vocational training, accreditation, 1-2-1 delivery and outcomes-driven youth work.

This means that the successful candidate will be expected to inspire and be inspired by young people. Using food, cooking and the professional rigour expected in a kitchen, the post holder will design and deliver engaging sessions that give groups and individuals a strong sense of power and purpose.

As part of our wider catering team, line managed by our Head of Youth Enterprise, the post holder will work alongside young people supporting the preparation, delivery and due diligence of our café and catering social enterprise.

The post holder will support delivery across youth programmes with particular focus on the delivery of our outreach work delivered on our Scran Van.

A typical week would run Mon-Fri, with occasional evenings and weekends on agreement. The role will flexibly support our catering and outreach programmes, either at our café sites in Comely Bank and the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, or at various locations from our famous food truck, the Scran Van.

A full driving license for manual vehicles is essential for this role.

Carnegie UK currently has a vacancy on its Board of Trustees for a Lead Trustee with Finance.

Could you use your strategic financial skills to help us advance the wellbeing of everyone in the UK?

Carnegie UK is a charity which has been working to improve wellbeing in the UK and Ireland for over 100 years. We seek to influence policy and practice at a systemic level, building on evidence and research to argue for change.

Role

Working closely with the CEO and the Head of Finance, the lead trustee for finance will take a lead role for the Board in financial strategy, bringing an external perspective and supportive challenge to our financial planning and management.

Candidates should have a strong interest in the Carnegie UK’s work to promote wellbeing, as well as a strong background in finance and/or accounting, preferably with an understanding of charity finance. You will operate at a strategic level, as interested in the influence and impact of our investments as you are in our annual accounts. You will be willing to represent the organisation and able to commit the necessary time to governance.

The anticipated time commitment includes preparation for and chairing of quarterly Finance Committee meetings held online, as well as preparation for and attendance at quarterly Board meetings (two a year in Scotland, one in London and one elsewhere in the UK or Ireland). The Chair of the Finance Committee is also a member of the Audit and Risk Committee, which meets online twice a year.

The lead finance trustee is also asked to make themselves available for an annual in-person meeting with our Investment Manager, and for ad hoc consultation by the CEO and Head of Finance.
