About the role

The Legal Policy Manager plays a key role in empowering the children’s sector to use the law to drive systemic change and ensure children experience their rights in practice.

This role is employed by Clan Childlaw and is central to delivery of a jointly funded partnership project between Clan Childlaw and Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights), supported by the Human Rights Fund. The post holder will work closely across both organisations to deliver shared objectives.

Clan Childlaw is a leader in child-centred strategic litigation that drives systemic change, while Together represents over 600 organisations working to promote and protect children’s rights in Scotland.

The post holder will support strategic legal interventions, including the use of the UNCRC, to drive change for children and young people in Scotland.

The project aims to empower and enable Scotland’s children’s sector to use the law to advance children’s rights. These legal interventions may include strategic litigation, and seeking legal opinions, as well as wider measures such as supporting Together members to challenge rights breaches through informal processes etc.

Responsibilities include managing Clan’s Strategic Litigation Group, helping Together members identify opportunities for legal intervention, identifying strategic cases for Clan, and developing resources to promote the implementation and advance of children’s rights.

About Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights)

Together (Scottish Alliance for Children’s Rights) is a national alliance working to make children’s rights real for babies, children and young people across Scotland. We do this by supporting changes in law, policy and practice in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and other international human rights standards. We bring together over 600 members, from large national and international NGOs to small volunteer-led after school clubs and interested professionals.

About Clan Childlaw

Clan wants a Scotland where all children and young people’s rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled. For that to happen, Scotland has to be a place where all children and young people can stand up for their rights. That means children and young people need:

• Lawyers that are experts in working with children

• People around them who can enable them to use their rights and amplify their voices

• To be respected as rights-holders, who are entitled to hold duty-bearers to account if their rights are not fulfilled.

Clan is an award-winning, independent children’s charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights. We are the only charity in Scotland that provides free, independent legal representation exclusively for children and young people, which is child-centred by design. Because our lawyers work directly with children and young people whose lives are affected by legal decisions, we bring that unique practice-based knowledge to every aspect of our work. This includes our specialist training, our helpline supporting others who help children to use their voices and their rights, and our work to influence children’s rights respecting changes to practice, policy and law.

What We Do

• We stand with others who help children use their rights –

Through our membership and training for legal professionals and in legal education we are making being a “children’s lawyer” an accredited legal skill set in Scotland. Our practical training and helpline and support for advocacy in Children’s Hearings provides adults that support children and young people information and guidance that they can use to empower young people to stand up for their rights.

• We stand out through the excellence of our work –

We want our work to have as much impact as possible. We listen to what children and young people tell us about what they need from lawyers and others who support them to use their rights. We use what we learn to develop and design the services they need and talk about why young people’s rights matter, and why children and young people need lawyers.

• We stand for change –

We are lawyers for children and young people representing children and young people in court, at Children’s Hearings, and in important meetings working to give them equal opportunity to heard and use their rights. We take cases that make change for individual children and young people and help shape better rights respecting policy and practice. We use our knowledge of the law, and experience as practising lawyers for children and young people, to ask decision makers and lawmakers to change the law and the way the law is used to make sure that children and young people's rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.

Our Values

Our values are the principles we uphold in all our work, no matter what. They are the foundation of our workplace culture. Everyone who works at Clan shows our values in all they do and say.

We are supportive: We listen and respond, we provide encouragement and emotional help to children and young people, to others who support young people, and to each other.

We are bold: We are confident and courageous in amplifying the voices of children and young people. We are prepared to take risks when we need to, to defend children and young people’s rights.

We are dynamic: We are always active, always progressing. We are positive, full of energy and new ideas. We ask for change where it is needed.

About Waverley Care

For over 35 years, Waverley Care has worked alongside people and communities affected by HIV and hepatitis C. We deliver inclusive, stigma-free services and influence national policy to tackle health inequalities across Scotland.

While advances in treatment have transformed clinical outcomes, stigma and isolation continue to impact too many lives. Waverley Care exists to ensure that anyone affected by HIV or hepatitis C can live well, with dignity, respect, and support.

About the role

We are looking for a motivated and proactive Senior Corporate Fundraising Officer to grow and steward meaningful relationships with major corporate partners across Scotland.

This new role will focus on securing new business from banks, national organisations and large employers, while also strengthening existing partnerships to deliver sustainable, multi-year income.

Working within our Fundraising and Communications team, you will play a key part in driving our ambition to significantly increase unrestricted income, collaborating closely with colleagues to develop compelling partnership propositions, impactful campaigns and engaging corporate volunteering opportunities. This is an exciting opportunity to shape a growing income stream and help us reach more people living with or at risk of HIV and hepatitis C.

This role will work closely with the Income Generation Manager and Senior Marketing and Communications Manager, and will complement the work of our Fundraising Officer, who leads on community fundraising and community-linked corporate relationships.

The postholder will collaborate with the fundraising team to identify and develop warm corporate opportunities emerging from events and community activity, ensuring a joined-up approach to stewarding and growing corporate engagement across Scotland.

As a charity that is not fully funded by statutory sources, voluntary income plays a vital and growing role in sustaining our services. This post will be central to increasing awareness of our funding model and inspiring corporate partners to invest in our mission.

About You

You will be an engaging communicator and natural relationship builder, confident in identifying opportunities, opening doors and inspiring organisations to support our mission. With experience in corporate fundraising, business development or a similar partnership-focused role, you will bring a proactive, commercially minded approach and a track record of meeting targets.

You’ll be comfortable managing a varied portfolio, from cultivating new prospects to stewarding high value partners, and you’ll thrive in a collaborative team where creativity, initiative and strategic thinking are valued.

Above all, you will be passionate about using your skills to help end HIV stigma and improve the lives of people across Scotland.

Applications are also welcomed from candidates with experience in sales, account management, hospitality or other commercial roles where relationship-building, pitching and securing new business are core responsibilities

Why Join Us?

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a progressive organisation at a pivotal moment in Scotland’s public health journey. You’ll have the chance to influence real change, working alongside passionate colleagues committed to making a lasting impact on people’s lives.

We offer a supportive working environment with hybrid working options, professional development opportunities and a generous annual leave entitlement.
