Scran Academy is an Edinburgh youth work charity, supporting young people facing poverty and trauma to succeed through our innovative education and employment programmes.
We exist to alleviate poverty and provide opportunities for all young people, no matter their background or barrier. How we do this by creating real-life experiences and positive adult relationships that help shine a light on the strengths and aspirations of young people. We use food, cooking, and real-life responsibility through our café and catering social enterprise to build experiences and form relationships that change young people’s lives.
We’re currently looking for a talented, experienced café manager to join the frontline team that helps young people develop in ways that are meaningful to them.

The successful candidate will lead by example and be ready to inspire and be inspired by young people. Working with placements on our employability programme will be part of the fabric of the job, supporting many young people in what might be their first professional environment, so compassion, patience and a non-judgemental approach are essentials.
This role embodies our values: We Love, We Trust, We Unite and We Lead:
We Love – the successful candidate will nurture young people. They will care deeply and see all behaviour as communication that deserves a dignified response. They will be non-judgemental and take a trauma-informed approach.
We Trust – the successful candidate will believe in the potential of young people. They will trust them to be the expert of their own life and circumstance. They will support young people to take responsible steps in learning, work and life.
We Unite – the successful candidate will courageously bring young people together. They will aim to create safe spaces where stepping outside comfort zones is supported and encouraged.
We Lead – the successful candidate will see all young people as leaders in their own lives. They will be ready to both lead and be led by young people. They will listen and provide a platform for young people to lead their learning and thrive.
