Scran Academy is a youth-led catering social enterprise on a mission to see every young person, regardless of background or barrier, realise their full potential in learning, work and life. Too many young people in our most challenged communities never realise their talents or aspirations due to the effects of social inequality and poverty. We exist to change that.

Our transformational youth work programmes and catering enterprise use food as a tool to engage young people, providing opportunities and experiences that help them build skills, confidence, and independence, creating pathways into education, employment, and brighter futures.

About the Candidate

We are looking for an experienced catering professional who is ready for a new challenge and motivated by the opportunity to support young people to reach their full potential.

The post holder will take responsibility for the preparation, delivery and compliance of catering operations, ensuring consistently high standards of food quality, hygiene and service. Alongside this, you will play a key role in actively involving young people in all aspects of our catering, supporting them to develop confidence, practical skills and positive working relationships.

A typical week runs during daytime hours, Monday to Friday, with occasional evenings and weekends. The role will flexibly support our catering and events programmes across our café sites in Comely Bank and the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People, as well as at external events and locations served by our famous food truck, the Scran Van

We’re looking for two experienced, values driven candidates to join our team as we expand our Digital Discourse Initiative programme. This is a unique opportunity to deliver high-quality learning focused on disinformation, prejudicial conspiracy narratives, online hate, and critical media literacy for schools and education settings.

About our charity - Time for Inclusive Education (TIE)

We are an education charity specialising in anti-prejudice education. We deliver professional learning, learner workshops, and curriculum resources, with a core focus on supporting Scotland’s National Approach to LGBT Inclusive Education.

In 2025, we launched the Digital Discourse Initiative with international partners. The programme equips schools with tools and strategies to address disinformation, online hate, prejudicial conspiracy narratives, and harmful online ideologies that increasingly affect children and young people.

We are now recruiting two Education Officers to support the expansion and delivery of this growing programme.

An insight from an Education Officer

“Being an Education Officer with Time for Inclusive Education is a genuinely rewarding role that offers the chance to make a real difference to young people and educators across Scotland.

Alongside delivering workshops, professional learning, and developing educational resources, I particularly value the research aspect of the role. Having opportunities to explore emerging issues affecting young people and use those insights to shape educational practice makes the work both meaningful and impactful.

One of the highlights of my time in the role has been my involvement in the Digital Discourse Initiative. Through this work, I have supported schools to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to navigate online spaces critically and safely, build resilience to disinformation, and recognise and challenge prejudicial or hateful content.

Creating learning experiences around these issues has been especially rewarding, helping young people think critically about how online content can influence their behaviour and relationships.

Having previously worked as a classroom teacher, one of the things I enjoy most about this role is the variety it offers. It encourages collaboration and creativity, while providing opportunities to contribute to meaningful educational change that supports inclusion and empowers young people to engage confidently with the world around them.”
