We’re Scotland’s national human rights institution. Independent and authoritative in our legal and policy analysis, collaborative and proactive in our approach to improving outcomes for people, we are proud of what we’ve achieved since we began working in 2008.

We currently have an opportunity for a fixed term Head of Legal and Policy post in our Legal and Policy team.

FST is the membership and development body for professional dance, opera and theatre in Scotland, bringing the sector together to speak with a collective voice, to share resources and expertise and to promote collaborative working.

The FST Board, which is elected from the membership, is now seeking an ambitious new Chief Executive Officer with strong strategic, influencing and facilitation skills to lead the organisation in advocacy, support and strategic development for the sector at this time of significant challenge and change. The events of recent months mean FST is well-positioned for the new CEO to have a real opportunity to help shape and shift the industry as well as the organisation to meet the demands of the new strategic and operational environment.

FST supports and promotes flexible working. We are more concerned to find the right skills than to specify hours for this role. We welcome job-share applications and proposals for other approaches including fewer than 35 hours per week.

This sort of opportunity doesn’t come around very often. Serving in a key leadership role at national Church level is a role worth taking a close look at. Reporting to the Chair, you will work alongside the Board of Trustees as well as other key parts of the Free Church of Scotland at a national level - yet you will also support the work of our local churches across Scotland and beyond, and our international mission.

In leading the Central Office, you will shape and implement the Board’s ambitious strategy and priorities, in support of bringing good news to communities. You will help people join things together, take initiative and pursue the direction of travel. You will inspire people with your commitment and energy for the ambitions of the Church as well as your professionalism as a leader and manager. You will understand what good governance is all about in leading an organisation, ensuring effective people management, financial management and risk management.

If you enjoy complexity, are in tune with our values and ethos, and are seeking a role that offers breadth and scope, the opportunity to influence within and beyond the Church, and, ultimately, help bring good news to people, we welcome your interest. Please read our ‘Information for Applicants’.

We are looking for a relational, child-centred, and motivated individual to be part of the charity, helping to drive forward the development and maintenance of new and existing office and well-being spaces.

This is a new post and an exciting opportunity for the right individual; to a large extent it is up to you to shape the role.

In the role of Head of Property, you will work across the whole of the charity working with colleagues to provide excellent, flexible, trauma informed and child friendly spaces. We put children at the heart of what we do; our spaces must also reflect that ethos.

You must have a relevant qualification and previous experience; however, this is more about you and the qualities that you bring to the role.

Please see Job Description and Person Specification on our website for more details.

Our spaces are located across many areas of Scotland and the post may require working out with normal office hours and will potentially involve travel and overnight stays. However, Children 1st is flexible in its attitude about how the objectives are achieved as required by the role and you will enjoy a generous annual leave entitlement.

This is a permanent post of up to 35 hours per week, we welcome applications from candidates who feel passionate about the role and require some flexibility and can work a minimum of 21 hours per week.

Please note that this post will require travel throughout Scotland, therefore any base is negotiable.

About the role:

This is an important role in which you’ll lead BSLM as it continues to grow and develop. The organisation has grown rapidly in the four years since establishment and it now requires a step change in management to consolidate this growth and to drive the organisation forward.

The Executive Director will be expected to work with the Chair and Board of Trustees, taking management oversight of the organisation’s activities, to ensure appropriate governance of the charity’s activities is maintained.

An important aspect of the role will be the further development and strengthening of the organisation’s infrastructure, particularly staffing, to enable the timely delivery of the organisation’s vision and mission.

BSLM is looking for an individual with a proven track record at senior management level in a charity or private sector organisation. Strategic planning ability will be essential to drive development of the organisation forward.

One of the benefits of working in a small charity as a key member of a friendly team is that the role can be shaped and developed further according to the interests and skills of the successful candidate.
