Background

Scottish Sports Futures use the power of sport and physical activity to engage with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in Scotland and empower them to be confident, healthy and happy.

We do this using our proven and recognised Sport for Change model and its range of person-centred, youth-led programmes that provide positive experiences, inspiring role models, engaging social education, training, and youth volunteering opportunities. As a result, we seek to encourage a positive change in young people’s attitudes and behaviour that enables them to recognise and fulfil their potential, and to make a valuable contribution to their peers and their community.

We are proud to have a culture which is inclusive and collaborative, where our people are valued and supported to lead and develop ground-breaking initiatives with young people and communities at the heart.

The Role

SSF Education Through CashBack Tutors are responsible for the ongoing design and delivery of our training and accreditation offer. Working closely with the Training and Accreditation team, they will play a critical role educating young people and practitioners across the sport and physical activity sector.

ETC Tutors are responsible for delivering high quality training and accreditation that contribute to our strategic goals of Developing People, Improving Health and Wellbeing, and Strengthening Communities.

The Education Through CashBack (ETC) is an SSF training programme, combining youth work and sport to enhance knowledge of the ‘Sport for Change’ approach. ETC is a delivered throughout Scotland, providing accessible accreditation for young people, as well as upskilling practitioners to work with young people at risk.

The ETC Tutor will be responsible for the design and delivery of ETC courses for young people and practitioners. They will work in collaboration with key partners, including sportscotland, SAMH, and Scottish governing bodies for sport, to implement the ETC programme. They will also support us to grow our social enterprise model by identifying new relationships and securing bookings. Tutors are the face of our ETC programme and will work directly with clients from bookings through to delivery. They will also have some responsibility for monitoring and evaluation to continue to achieve high standards.

This post will have a national remit and will involve regular travel across Scotland, as well as evening and weekend work. The tutor will deliver a blend of online and face-to-face training.

SSF, in carrying out its functions as a “sport for change” charity delivering programmes to young people across Scotland, is committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all, and to ensuring that no individual is discriminated against in the planning and delivery of any activities.

We are Scotland’s leading community eating disorder charity, providing peer support through Support Groups and one-to-one Befriending for those with eating disorders and for parents, carers and families. Our services are volunteer-led, most of whom have lived experience of recovering from eating disorders.

We are seeing a rising need for the services we provide due to Covid and with so much of a stretch on public services just now, the charity provides a vital source of help. We have been fortunate that we have been able to move our support groups online and continue to provide the help that is so much needed.

Growing and developing our services is now a key focus so that we can support more people across Scotland in their recovery journey. Our plan to expand our services is led by our Development Manager with the support of our major funders, The Robertson Trust, National Lottery and Comic Relief and many other generous charitable trusts.

To help us deliver our vision and meet the needs of our communities in Scotland we are looking to bring new trustees onto the Board with specific skills sets in income generation and digital.

As a Board we work together as a close team, so we’re looking for trustees who enjoy working collaboratively towards a common goal and are happy to roll their sleeves up to get things done, alongside making a strategic contribution. We’re also planning to recruit some skills-based volunteers to help us deliver on key projects, and so having an interest in supporting their contribution to the Charity, and co-creating together, is important too.

We currently meet as a Board once a month, typically on a Wednesday between 3-5pm. Given the stage we’re at with our growth plans, you’ll likely need to commit around 2-3 additional hours during the working week.

Income Generation Trustee

As part of your overall trustee duties of leading and governing the charity’s activities you will bring experience of income generation, ideally in the 3rd sector, with a focus on either Strategic Funding Relationships or Community Fundraising.

As a Board we have a collective responsibility for income generation and given the breadth of opportunity in this space, it’s not essential to have experience in both of these areas. We may recruit a couple of trustees with complementary skill sets to work together on this. You will also work closely with our Development Manager and partner together to align our income generation activity with our plans to deliver and expand our services.

We’re looking for people who can think strategically and creatively to help us develop a sustainable funding plan with a differentiated proposition that’s clear on who we are trying to reach and the best way to do so. At the same time, you’ll also have the know-how to put this into practice and get things off the ground, and also measure our success.

You’ll be confident in leading the way in one of the following areas:

Strategic Funding Relationships

• Building strategic relationships with key funders to secure income that provides a level of sustainable funding over multiple years e.g., charitable trusts and large-scale funders such as Comic Relief and Children in Need.

• A key part of this will be working together with the Development Manager and our external funding partner to create compelling funding applications. Experience of Section 10 applications would be of help down the line.

Community Fundraising

• Raising funds within our local communities, tapping into the desire to give something back, through events and sponsorship and leveraging our relationships with Universities and Colleges.

• Investigating digital channels and how we can use social media to raise funds.

• Exploring opportunities to partner with Corporates and with businesses in our communities.

Digital Trustee

As part of your overall trustee duties of leading and governing the charity’s activities you will bring your digital mindset and expertise to the work of the Board, to enable us to engage with digital in an informed way.

You’ll help us identify how we can leverage digital solutions and innovate to increase the accessibility and inclusiveness of our service in a post-Covid world. You’ll create digital goals and metrics that support our wider strategic objectives, highlighting the opportunities and the risks of digital.

You’ll bring a digital perspective to our product and service design principles and bring insights from elsewhere in the Charity sector, connecting with organisations such as SCVO, Catalyst and Charity Digital.

You will also help us to work smarter behind the scenes to ‘digify’ our core processes and find better ways to make our operations run more efficiently.

If you also have experience of digital marketing, that would be helpful but not essential.

Do you want to become a Trainee Addiction Worker?

Applications are invited from people living in the following Local Authority Areas ONLY: Glasgow, East Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, (Edinburgh, Fife & East Dunbartonshire subject to funding).

“This has been my most special and rewarding year to date and I am grateful to Scottish Drugs Forum for not only giving me the opportunity but being a solid and constant support through it all” – Former Trainee.

We’re looking for people with a history of drug or alcohol problems to take part in a supported Employment programme that will help you take the first steps towards in securing a paid job within the social care field and the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Our life-changing Addiction Worker Training Project will support, train, and prepare you to gain a qualification in Social Services and Health Care – whilst paying you for taking part.

As a Trainee Addiction Worker on the programme, you will learn about the addiction field and how to support people who are currently experiencing issues with their substance use. You will then be able to take this knowledge and put this into practice during a placement within Social Care services.

Alongside learning, you will also meet a tight-knit group of peers and future friends who will be on the programme with you, sharing every step together.

We offer £8.91 per hour before deductions with a fixed term contract of 30 hours per week for 39 weeks. Trainees will undertake work placements in social care agencies and will study towards an SVQ 2 in Social Services and Health Care. At SDF, we believe your experience of drug or alcohol problems is a strength, as it can help you understand some of the issues that someone who is accessing services may face.

Don’t know how to use a computer? – No problem. We will help you learn how to use a computer and provide you with a laptop so you can get the most out of the programme.

“The SVQ class was amazing. Really, really good. The tutor was really good as well. In addition, it was arranged that I got ‘dyslexia support’. Getting the extra support has made me a lot more confident. I still have work to do and hope to continue this after the course.” = Former Trainee
