Equally tied to this will be a strong focus on not just what the learner desires but what the organisation needs from a strategic perspective, enabling the values of Penumbra and driving a positive culture across the organisation. You will be capable of both assessing training needs, crafting learning content, implementing it and measuring the impact. Presentation skills, diplomacy and the ability to influence senior management are essential if you are to thrive as an L&D manager.

With over 400 staff across Scotland, we work to promote mental health and wellbeing for all, prevent mental ill health for people who are ‘at risk’, and to support people with mental health problems.

To further develop Penumbra services in accordance with our values and strategic aims by developing effective networks with other Penumbra teams and with partner agencies.
Job Summary
To manage, support and supervise a diverse staff team to ensure the needs of individuals are met and the service provided is run effectively.
With the aim of equipping people with the skills needed to live independently and meaningfully within the local community, a strengths-based coaching approach to recovery is used to build confidence, maintain motivation and promote resilience. Promoting participation and inclusion is a core value of the service, through working alongside people to deliver innovative, creative and personalised interventions and opportunities.
Future Pathways supports in care abuse survivors and Penumbra is proud to be one its Alliance Partners. Penumbra is responsible for research, generating good evidence and telling the story of the types of support that can help people to recover from in care abuse and find a good life.
We are looking for a maternity cover researcher who can bring the values of person centredeness and trauma informed practice to continue this work. Working alongside in care abuse survivors and with a highly dedicated Future Pathways team, you will gather research and disseminate evidence to influence practice and policy.
The ideal candidate will bring a mixed methods approach but qualitative skills will be key with an ability to conduct sensitive and empathic interviews with survivors on in care abuse.
This is an opportunity to support Penumbra's services to be the very best they can be, and to develop innovative new ways to help people live full lives and improve mental wellbeing.
Working as part of a small team, you’ll be involved in a wide range of work from creating new resources, analysing data and working with teams to learn and develop their practice.
You’ll have a good understanding of the principles and practice of supporting mental health recovery and be confident about supporting others to do so. You'll be creative and also have an eye for detail. You’ll also be able to analyse a range of information to identify what is working well, what could be improved and what can be built in to new ways of doing things. Most importantly though, you’ll be passionate about people’s right to recovery and building a society where everyone can flourish.
Thank you for your interest in the post of Board member.
Our trustees play an important strategic role in developing the organisational goals that help shape our direction of travel as one of Scotland’s largest mental health charities, and we’re currently looking for new people to join our team of board members.
This year is especially exciting for us as we embark on the development of our new strategic plan and a brand refresh. Our new trustees will be joining us at a significant time in our growth when our expertise in distress and trauma informed support has seen us partner in some high profile national projects including the Scottish Government’s National Suicide Prevention Leadership Group, Future Pathways and Distress Brief Intervention. Our innovative I.ROC wellbeing toolkit is a unique hallmark for our ‘Penumbra Approach’ to mental health recovery, earning our place in sector as a well-respected and forward thinking mental health charity, and key influencer in policy and practice.
If you believe in the third sector as a powerful driver for social change and if you feel passionately about being a part of developing the future direction of mental health services and policy in Scotland, then we want to hear from you.
This is a voluntary role and out of pocket expenses will be met. Penumbra is committed to equality and diversity, and we would encourage applications from people from all walks of life including people who have their own or their families experience of mental ill health.
