Calman Trust, Abriachan Forest Trust and Moniack Mhor are working in partnership to deliver CashBack Hub X, an exciting new youth work initiative creating welcoming, youth led spaces where young people can relax, connect and explore new interests.

Regular sessions offer opportunities to meet others, share a meal and take part in a range of creative indoor and outdoor activities, including filmmaking, pottery, woodwork, cooking, outdoor adventure, creative writing activities (including writing songs, producing comic books) and other creative arts. Youth workers will build trusted relationships, supporting young people to try new activities, make positive choices and reduce isolation and boredom.

We’re looking for enthusiastic and creative individuals who have experience of working with young people to deliver inspiring sessions and provide one to one support that builds confidence, skills and aspiration in young people aged 15–25. This may include experience of working within the arts or a passion for the creative industries.

You will be able to work independently as well as part of a team and have a genuine passion for supporting young people to overcome challenges and access positive opportunities. Flexibility to work evenings and a full driving licence with access to a car are essential. This post is subject to a PVG check.

Mission Statement

Our long-term vision is to end youth homelessness. Our more immediate mission is to ensure that every young person in Scotland has access to expert youth specific services to assist them to avoid, resolve and move on from homelessness, making it rare, brief, and non-recurring.

Context

We have an excellent opportunity for someone with experience of project & resource management, business organisation, facilities support and administration to join our People and Business Support Team based in Edinburgh. We are looking for someone who thrives working in a fast-paced but fun environment and loves to be involved in a variety of business support and facilities management tasks. Working in collaboration with our People and Business Support Manager, you will help create and improve the successful delivery of our support and facilities services across the entire organisation.

There will be opportunities to take the lead on a wide portfolio of projects from inception to delivery. The ideal candidate would be someone who likes a challenge and can take an idea or brief and develop it into a workable solution or product. You will need to have problem identification and analytical skills – being able to spot an area for development, and then actively working to improve it. You must possess excellent written/verbal communication skills as well as being able to multi-task, juggling conflicting deadlines whilst producing high standards of work with accuracy and attention to detail.
