Are you looking for a role in which you will improve the lives of families in your community? A role that enables you to work differently, build your knowledge and skills and feel valued by clients, colleagues and the organisation you work for?

It’s an exciting time to be part of Scottish Huntington’s Association with the implementation of Standing Tall: A Strategy For Growth 2023 – 28 to transform the care and support of Huntington’s families, expand services, raise awareness and deepen our involvement and support for world-leading research and clinical trials.

We are looking for a Health and Social Care professional to join our nationwide network of Huntington’s Disease Specialists to provide care management, specialist assessment and emotional support to individuals and families across Scotland.

Working in partnership with local Health and Social Care teams, you will also provide advice, training and education to professionals and voluntary agencies involved in all aspects of Huntington’s disease care.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic and motivated to have a positive influence on the quality of life of the individuals and families they support. This role is open to medical and health and social care staff from backgrounds such as nursing, allied health, social work and medicine. Professional body membership is essential. Previous experience of Huntington’s disease is advantageous but not essential as full training will be provided.

You should be able to work autonomously in this challenging and rewarding position. Good listening, communication and interpersonal skills are vital, as are excellent time keeping and caseload management abilities. Community-based practice knowledge, a driving licence and use of a car complete our list of essential criteria. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced disclosure check.

Scottish Huntington’s Association is the only charity in Scotland dedicated exclusively to the care and support of individuals and families whose lives are impacted by Huntington’s disease, an incurable neurological condition with severe and complex physical, mental health and cognitive symptoms.

You will find a values-driven organisation, founded by families for families and recognised at national and international levels for expertise in supporting the Huntington’s disease community.

General

All applicants must be able to demonstrate the right to work in the UK.

The post will be subject to a four-month probationary period.

Out-of-pocket expenses including travel and mileage allowances will be paid on receipt of appropriate claim forms and invoices/receipts.

Due to internal promotion, we are excited to share news of an opening for a new Executive within our Partnerships and Philanthropy Team, aligned to Corporate Partnerships.

The Corporate Partnerships team are moving through a period of growth which will set this team up to strategically focus their resources and skill where it is most needed in order to attract, cultivate and retain valuable corporate partnerships.

Reporting to the Senior Partnership Executive, the Partnership Executive will be involved in maintaining existing supporter relationships through the Corporate Fundraising journey, ensuring all possible opportunities for revenue generation are utilised.

About you

To be successful in this role, you will have skill and experience in the following areas:

• Experience of working in account management in either a fundraising or commercial environment.
• Experience of achieving and exceeding income targets or growing income.
• The ability to seek out, identify and build on opportunities to maximise income.
• Ability to represent CHAS internally and externally.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to adapt communication style to meet the needs of varied audiences.
• Driven and engaging personality with strong people skills.
• Driving Licence and access to a car

Why CHAS?

At CHAS, we support families during the toughest of times. We have ambitions to reach every family in Scotland who is living with the heart-breaking prognosis that their child is dying and offer them our care and support to empower them to make the most of the short time they have together. The skill, determination and creative flair of our Fundraising Teams makes this possible.

This is a pivotal moment to join CHAS. We’ve just launched More Than A Hospice - a £20 million appeal to change how Scotland cares for children who will die young, and for the families who love them. Every week, three children in Scotland die from an incurable illness, and advances in medicine mean more children are living longer with complex, life‑shortening conditions - a gift, but one that demands change.

Right now, too many families don’t have real choice throughout their child’s life, or at the end of it - and are sometimes forced into decisions because the care they need isn’t always there when it’s needed. We believe Scotland can - and must - do better. Joining CHAS now means being part of an ambitious appeal that aims to ensure care follows the child - at home, in hospital, or in a hospice so no family faces that moment alone

We offer

• Flexible Working: our teams work flexibly and in a hybrid manner with time split between at home and onsite in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
• Development Opportunities: exposure to a variety of fundraising activities
• Professional Growth: Work with industry leaders in a high-performing team where you will be encouraged and supported to excel and develop your skills.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Including generous annual leave and pension, incremental salary progression, access to Blue Light discounts, and health and wellbeing support.

Action on Smoking and Health Scotland (ASH Scotland) is Scotland's independent charity working to create a future free from the harm and inequality caused by tobacco and nicotine.

Smoking remains one of Scotland's leading causes of preventable illness and is a major driver of health inequalities. In some of Scotland's most disadvantaged communities, smoking rates remain significantly higher than in more affluent areas. With a refreshed tobacco control strategy and a rapidly changing policy landscape, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape innovative approaches that improve health and reduce inequality across Scotland.

About the Role

We are seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated Development Officer to join our Engagement Team.

This role will lead and support the development of innovative programmes and partnerships designed to reduce the harms caused by tobacco and nicotine use. A key focus of the post will be helping advance ASH Scotland's emerging Whole Household Approach, working with health boards, local authorities, third-sector organisations and community partners to strengthen support for individuals and families affected by smoking-related harm. The postholder will also contribute to work focused on smoke- and vape-free environments, protecting workers from second-hand smoke exposure, reducing inequalities and improving outcomes for children and young people.

The role offers considerable autonomy and the opportunity to shape new projects, build strategic partnerships, support consultation and engagement activity, develop resources and training materials, and contribute directly to policy and practice development across Scotland.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Strong project management and organisational skills.
• Experience of developing and managing partnerships across sectors.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Experience of research, consultation or evidence gathering.
• The ability to develop practical resources, reports and engagement materials.
• Confidence in facilitating collaboration and supporting change within organisations and communities.
• An understanding of health inequalities, public health, community development or related fields.
• The ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a small team.
