The Jane Moore Trust is a Scottish-registered charity, established in 1991, giving children and young people in Scotland the support they need, when they need it. A range of responsive services provide education, employability, social housing, and access to psychological support.

Would you like to be part of the next exciting phase of The Jane Moore Trust’s journey?

Moore House Academy-Butterstone is located in a beautiful, tranquil, rural environment near Dunkeld in Perthshire. The school provides small group specialist education, including therapeutic support, for children and young people aged 11 to 18 years, whose high levels of anxiety and social communication impede their emotional development and prevent success in learning. Many of the young people have a diagnosis of autism. We envisage opening a primary school on this campus, running alongside the Academy, which will allow us to provide this specialist education to children and young people aged 11 to 19.

We are seeking a skilled and creative part-time Fundraising Officer with at least 2 years’ experience in initiating, growing and developing new streams of income, including grants / trusts, local and national government funds and tenders.

The successful candidate will be part of the The Jane Moore Trust team and have a key role across the organisation to develop and deliver fundraising strategies. This exciting role will support the ongoing expansion of Moore House Academy Butterstone and will ensure that we are able to continue to focus on supporting our children and young people on to positive destinations, accessing the best opportunities for learning, life and work.

Other benefits enjoyed by our staff include:

• Annual salary benchmarking.
• Access to a well-developed comprehensive training programme, including Dyadic Developmental Practice.
• Support to obtain relevant qualifications through Moore House Training Academy.
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Free confidential employee assistance programme.
• Refer a Friend Bonus Scheme.
• Access to our group pension scheme.

We are looking for a creative, confident, and experienced individual to join us at Families Outside to work on a new initiative, working directly with the families we support, to develop a wide-ranging support and participation programme.

Who are we?

Families Outside is the only national charity in Scotland that works solely to support families affected by imprisonment. We are dedicated to providing a range of practical, social and emotional support to children, young people and other family members with someone in prison. This support is relationship-based, prison-aware, and family-focused.

What do we want?

We are now recruiting for a new post within Families Outside at a time of growth for our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to work in collaboration with a small team, with responsibility for developing a national programme for peer support, wider family participation, and volunteering. The post will have line management responsibility for a small team of Support & Participation Coordinators based in the West, North, and East of Scotland.

With a solid background in leadership including experience of personal development and objective setting, the Support & Participation Manager will also have experience of developing and managing volunteer services, embedding policy and practice and recording and producing evaluation reports. They will need to have excellent communication skills and the ability to set priorities for their own work and for the work of others.

However, this is a newly created position and isn’t limited in remit. Your role will be varied, and you’ll build relationships across a network of partners and volunteers, allowing you to use your initiative to support key activities and stakeholders.

What are the benefits of working with Families Outside?

If this post is of interest to you, in return we offer a wide range of staff benefits including hybrid working, travel expenses, access to a pension scheme, laptop and mobile phone and 25 days paid holiday plus 10 public holidays (pro rata).

If you are interested in this post, we want to hear from you.
