Stand Easy is a small, innovative Dundee-based charity that uses drama related activities to support wounded, injured or sick (WIS) Veterans and their families. We are currently expanding our work and are seeking a suitably qualified and empathetic individual to take on the day-to-day running of the organisation and to help us to further develop Stand Easy.

Ideally, the successful candidate will

• have a strong personal interest in, and ability to, support WIS individuals and their families

• be able to work effectively with a wide range of people from a range of backgrounds

• have management experience including financial management

• be self-motivated and able to work efficiently unsupervised.

The successful candidate should have their own transport and be able to work mainly from home. Whilst it is not necessary for the candidate to be based in Tayside or Fife, they will be expected to report to the Stand Easy committee in Dundee on a regular basis and to be able to visit the participants either during activities or at home when required. This will involve some travel across the Central Belt of Scotland.

We are also developing working relationships with the emergency services with a view to working with them alongside our Veterans. This is currently the responsibility of another member of staff, but the post-holder will have an overall responsibility for this work and a requirement to liaise regularly with this member of staff

We are growing our team by employing a Digital Learning & Admin Assistant to support our newly launched social enterprise, JRS Knowhow, to develop our systems and services, to enable us to reach new partners and clients.

We are looking for someone with an interest in both digital and learning and development, who is keen to work for a value-driven organisation in the non-profit sector.

Our vision is a Scotland where people understand their rights and how to protect them, and organisations understand their legal duties to promote equality and identify how to work towards a fairer, more equal and inclusive society. We aim to make training and learning accessible, inclusive, engaging and fun.

We are particularly looking for someone with strong writing and IT skills, who is highly organised, dynamic and enjoys creative projects. A degree or relevant qualification is not a prerequisite for this role.

This post is an exciting opportunity to join CAPS’ Children and Young People’s Team which provides individual advocacy to children and young people who are going through the Children’s Hearings system. CAPS is the main provider of advocacy for this issue to children and young people aged 5-18 in East Lothian and Midlothian. CAPS is also the alternate provider for this work in Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders, so some work in these areas will also be expected.

The focus of the work is the provision of independent advocacy to support children and young people to express their views and wishes when going through the Children’s Hearings process. Experience of working with children and young people is required as well as excellent skills in communicating with them.

This post is fixed term for 12 months and will continue thereafter subject to continued funding by Scottish Government.
