Top job! Manager

- Hybrid: Edinburgh with potential for homeworking options for some elements of the role by agreement
- Closing 4th November 2024
Edinburgh School Uniform Bank (ESUB) is looking to appoint an experienced manager who is determined to use their skills and knowledge to improve the lives of children and young people in Edinburgh who face multiple disadvantage.
You would be joining an award-winning small charity that through a relationship-based network of community partners provides resources needed to attend school, participate in all aspects of school life and reduce social exclusion.
We offer practical resources that are not “just” clothing. If you remember what it was like to be ashamed of your appearance at school or remember the smell of poverty from a fellow classmate, then you know that clothing matters.
Each community is different, and we work collaboratively to support whatever provision is most helpful. One size does not fit all. We are looking for a manager who genuinely enjoys seeking out and acting on stakeholder feedback. The aspects of our work that are the most innovative were proposed by young people and school staff. We listened and then introduced a brand new service.
As an organisation we aim to be open and transparent in everything we do. Applicants will be shortlisted for interview based on the content of their application and completion of a role-related short written task. Interview will be online via Teams with questions made available in advance. We would encourage applicants to apply who feel they may not meet all the criteria but who have other qualities that will help us to thrive.
