As part of our succession planning the Social Enterprise Academy are looking to recruit up to 3 new volunteer Board members who are interested in supporting our vision and being part of making amazing change happen and are able to commit to a minimum of 45 hours per year.

We are particularly interested in applications from those with expertise or experience in any of the following areas:

• Connecting us - someone who is commercially minded and who can support us in connecting with future funders and corporate partners
• Promoting us - a digital marketeer who can help us build our reach
• Being a True Entrepreneur - understands what we do and can bring entrepreneurial thinking

As well as having the wider professional skills and experiences that we need on the board we also want a board that reflects and understands the people that we serve.

We will choose candidates who, overall, offer the best contribution and fit with our values. Relevant skills and experience are important but previous board experience is not essential, nor is a long career at a senior level. Applications from first-time board members are welcomed. All board members will be given a full induction and will be supported to maximise the value of their contribution.

Through this recruitment process, we will also be considering whether some applicants who are not chosen for a board role might be open to a committee or advisory role with the Academy.

What does being a board member mean?

As a board member you will work with our Chair, fellow board members and our Chief Executive to contribute towards the future of the organisation. Your work will help ensure that we continue to deliver a high-quality service and encourage innovation in learning and enterprise. You will be legally responsible for the organisation and will be supported in fully understanding how to carry out your role. You will provide ideas, insight, feedback, and positive challenge in order to help increase our reach and impact.

The responsibilities of the board include:

• Overall good governance of the organisation
• Overall strategy of the organisation
• Overall sustainability of the organisation and ensuring finances are well-managed and reported
• Ensuring the organisation acts in accordance with its charitable aims
• Ensuring the organisation fulfils its legal obligations in relation to its charitable and company status

As well as fulfilling these responsibilities the Academy board is a creative and strategic group, engaging with the sector and the wider staff team to support the success of the organisation and its people. It is a supportive and collaborative board with individuals committed to the values of social enterprise and learning and who all bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise and perspectives.

All new board members will undertake an induction process to get to know the Academy, the team and your fellow board members.

Why join the Social Enterprise Academy Board?

This is a unique opportunity to join a motivated and committed board who are working together to shape the future of a leading learning and development organisation supporting social change. Given the Academy’s role in national policy discussions and its international replication, you will have influence considerably beyond the immediate reach of the Academy.

Through your board role you will expand your contacts, knowledge and skills and you will connect with a vibrant and committed group of staff, facilitators and learners in the fast-growing space around social impact.

Interested?

For more information about the role and how to apply please download the recruitment pack from our website.

We are offering opportunities for you to engage with us before applying. You can arrange an informal phone/Skype/WhatsApp/Zoom conversation with our Chief Executive or Chair. Please find details about how to contact us in the recruitment pack.

About the role

Our Communications and Engagement Co-ordinator plays a key role in raising Clan Childlaw’s profile and strengthening engagement with our growing community of professionals, partners, and supporters. This role blends communications with promotion and coordination of our training and membership programmes, helping to ensure that our expertise and impact reach the people who need them, and empowering children and young people in Scotland to use their rights to improve their lives.

Working closely with colleagues across Clan Childlaw, the postholder will lead on day-to-day communications and content creation across digital channels, coordinate the delivery of our training and events, and support the growth of our Lawyers for Children membership network.

About you

You’re a proactive and reliable team player with a genuine commitment to the mission of Clan Childlaw. With a solid background in communications, digital marketing, or related roles within the charity, legal, or public sector, and have a proven track record of coordinating training, events, or membership programmes.

A natural storyteller, you excel at writing and editing with meticulous attention to detail and tone. You are confident using social media, email marketing, and digital content tools such as Canva, Adobe, or CMS platforms, and can manage multiple projects and deadlines with creativity and precision.

Your interpersonal and networking skills allow you to build strong relationships across diverse audiences, and you are comfortable using data and analytics to monitor engagement and improve communications and training initiatives.

About Clan Childlaw

Clan wants a Scotland where all children and young people’s rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled. For that to happen, Scotland has to be a place where all children and young people can stand up for their rights. That means children and young people need:

• Lawyers that are experts in working with children
• People around them who can enable them to use their rights and amplify their voices
• To be respected as rights-holders, who are entitled to hold duty-bearers to account if their rights are not fulfilled.

Clan is an award-winning, independent children’s charity that actively supports children and young people to take ownership of their rights. We are the only charity in Scotland that provides free, independent legal representation exclusively for children and young people, which is child-centred by design. Because our lawyers work directly with children and young people whose lives are affected by legal decisions, we bring that unique practice-based knowledge to every aspect of our work. This includes our specialist training, our helpline supporting others who help children to use their voices and their rights, and our work to influence children’s rights respecting changes to practice, policy and law.

What We Do

• We stand with others who help children use their rights –

Through our membership and training for legal professionals and in legal education we are making being a “children’s lawyer” an accredited legal skill set in Scotland. Our practical training and helpline and support for advocacy in Children’s Hearings provides adults that support children and young people information and guidance that they can use to empower young people to stand up for their rights.

• We stand out through the excellence of our work –

We want our work to have as much impact as possible. We listen to what children and young people tell us about what they need from lawyers and others who support them to use their rights. We use what we learn to develop and design the services they need and talk about why young people’s rights matter, and why children and young people need lawyers.

• We stand for change –

We are lawyers for children and young people representing children and young people in court, at Children’s Hearings, and in important meetings working to give them equal opportunity to heard and use their rights. We take cases that make change for individual children and young people and help shape better rights respecting policy and practice. We use our knowledge of the law, and experience as practising lawyers for children and young people, to ask decision makers and lawmakers to change the law and the way the law is used to make sure that children and young people's rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.

Our Values

Our values are the principles we uphold in all our work, no matter what. They are the foundation of our workplace culture. Everyone who works at Clan shows our values in all they do and say.

We are supportive: We listen and respond, we provide encouragement and emotional help to children and young people, to others who support young people, and to each other.

We are bold: We are confident and courageous in amplifying the voices of children and young people. We are prepared to take risks when we need to, to defend children and young people’s rights.

We are dynamic: We are always active, always progressing. We are positive, full of energy and new ideas. We ask for change where it is needed.
