A rare and exciting opportunity to help us to help others

Do you want to make a genuine difference to people’s lives and be part of an enthusiastic, energised, and dynamic team delivering world class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable? Can you help us reach greater numbers of people in need and build upon an established foundation to create an enduring legacy?

Did you know that every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads? The impact of that on individuals and their wider families is profound and far reaching and it can happen to any of us, at any time.

This is definitely not the average 9 to 5 job, and it is not every day that opportunities like this come along. You could be playing a significant part in our commitment to roll out our clinically developed, trauma informed support services across the country.

Who we are

We are Brake, the national, acclaimed road safety charity which provides the National Road Victim Service (NRVS). We have been supporting victims of the carnage on our roads since 1995. We also campaign for positive change to prevent future collisions and save lives.

Who you are

We need energised, self- starters who are passionate about helping others, to join our fantastic team.

Specifically we are seeking candidates with:

• experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks

• significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised

• a full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport and willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses). Employees are subject to driver licence checks.

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from people with a track record and references relating to backgrounds of working with people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with people with heightened vulnerabilities.

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury.

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you.

The Supported Housing Worker role requires assisting in the management of the development thus ensuring the tenants are able to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in an environment which is clean, safe and friendly. You will be responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the tenants and for assisting them in maintaining their independence.

As Housing Care Worker your role will involve working with our tenants to ensure they receive the support and personal care identified in their care plans. You will directly support tenants in their homes by providing individual advice, practical housing support assistance and personal care.

Both roles are to ensure that we are able to offer the best service to our tenants and make it possible for our tenants to continue enjoying as much independent living as they’re able.

As well as a competitive annual salary, our valued team also benefits from:

• competitive hourly rates of £10.50 - £10.88 per hour
• guaranteed rota hours working between 7.30am & 10pm
• generous annual leave entitlement
• a choice of pension scheme with employer contributions
• flexible working policies
• access to extensive paid training and development opportunities
• a supportive and inclusive culture.

We also have opportunities with our Trust Staff Agency - for employees who want to work across different locations, in various roles, with highly flexible hours to suit family commitments - it's a great opportunity with the same training and development that our other roles benefit from.

Previous experience working in social care or the housing sector would be an advantage but this is not always necessary. Our ideal candidate is someone with enthusiasm, a caring nature and willingness to learn as full training, support and ongoing development will be provided.

Impact Arts has a long history across Edinburgh and the East Coast delivering high quality youth engagement. We have recently been awarded funding through Edinburgh City Council’s Young Persons Guarantee to deliver a year round hub, offering creative and employability workshops to young people across Edinburgh. The role of Employability Youth Worker is essential within our organisation and reflects the increased need for specialised youth support within our employability work.

The role of Youth Worker has been designed to give our young people varying levels of support, from 1-2-1 conversations, group work, accreditation prep and ultimately, to support them to take their next positive steps.

Our delivery teams are always made up of one artist and one youth worker to provide a balanced and rounded experience for our participants.

Purpose

• To support young people attending Impact Arts programmes to achieve their outcomes and to progress on to further education, training or employment.
• To lead on continuous improvements of programmes, ensuring high quality social outcomes and meeting stakeholders’ expectations.
• You will be instrumental in the delivery of two of our most high profile programmes – Creative Pathways and CashBack to the Future.

An experienced and resourceful manager is sought for this new role setting up and managing a Christian bookshop adjacent to St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Edinburgh.

The role holder will have experience of retail and customer service and a knowledge of Christian literature. Strong communication skills, enthusiasm and initiative will also be key to developing this new venture.

Creative Carbon Scotland (CCS) believes in the power of the arts and culture to help achieve sustainability in Scotland and the world. They shape the ways in which we live in the world and so have an essential role to play in addressing the climate crisis. That’s why we support individuals and organisations in the arts and culture sector to be sustainable themselves and to lead and influence on climate change through their creative work. We do this by connecting artists and cultural organisations interested in climate action with each other and with organisations working directly on climate change.

We are a nimble, positive, influential and growing charity in a dynamic field whose services are very much in demand by both the arts and cultural world and, increasingly, by policy- and change-makers tackling the climate emergency. We work on both carbon emissions reduction and climate change adaptation to forge a sustainable, equitable, climate-adapted Scotland. Our founding partners are the Edinburgh Festivals, the Federation of Scottish Theatre, and the Scottish Contemporary Art Network. We receive significant long-term funding from Creative Scotland.

We are experiencing enormous demand and enthusiasm for our work. We recently worked with Creative Scotland to help them write their bold and ambitious Climate Emergency and Sustainability Plan, which places the creative and cultural sectors as key agents of change in the transformation to a sustainable Scotland. It will shape their funding, policy and work until 2045.

The Green Arts team

The Green Arts team within Creative Carbon Scotland works with cultural organisations to support them in addressing the climate emergency through practical action on emissions reduction, adapting to climate impacts, and working with their wider influence among artists and audiences. Main programme strands are:

• Green Arts: Providing tools, resources and training that equip and enable cultural organisations to reduce emissions and adapt to climate impacts in the context of a just transition to a lower carbon future. The main vehicle for this is our flagship 350-member community of practice and knowledge-sharing network the Green Arts Initiative.

• Carbon Management for Culture: Providing best practice guidance, tools and resources for cultural organisations to understand and manage their greenhouse gas emissions as well as direct support and coordination of environmental reporting for some groups of organisations with reporting requirements

• Beyond Scotland: Sharing our knowledge and experience and learning from others within the UK and internationally about how culture can practically address the climate emergency.

In 2022 we’re relaunching the Green Arts Initiative, holding a Green Arts Conference to bring the sustainable arts community together, developing digital tools and resources and supporting organisations with environmental reporting.
