This role will be based within the development team but will focus on those facing challenges. Though some support will be provided by the post holder, this is also a coordinating role, drawing together support from across Scotland. We are particularly keen to enhance the capacity and skillset of our team by recruiting someone with strong financial and governance skills and experience. The successful candidate will also support the core work of the development team.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who’s passionate about changing the outcomes for young people and ensuring they are at the centre of our work.
This is an entirely new and exciting project initiative with the potential for the right candidate to work with our team here at Fauldhouse and Breich Valley Community Development Trust to create an innovative Youth Pathway Project.
You will work with, and be fully supported by, our development team, our communications coordinator, our administration and finance support, our experienced management team, and our Board of Trustees.
We would like you to help us to develop our ambitious intentions to create a Youth Pathway Project and ensure young people are at the heart of this initiative, its design, and its implementation.
We would like you to help us further develop our cross-sector partnerships and set up a working group. A wide range of partners have already been consulted and fully support the Youth Pathway Project proposal. We want to ensure that we engage with young people to enable them to participate and to have meaningful input into the Youth Pathway Project Planning Process.
With the support of your manager, the board of trustees, and relevant partners, we would like you to take a lead role in the construction of a working plan, a document that highlights the aims and objectives of the Youth Pathway Project and how these aims and objectives can/will be achieved.
The Youth Pathway Project will aim to not only help young people with training, skills development, and employment opportunities, but to help with confidence building, physical and mental health and wellbeing, life skills, social interaction, and more. The document/plan will outline how we could address a wide range of issues, needs, concerns, and aspirations.
The Youth Pathway would offer young people who are excluded, disadvantaged, marginalised, and who have complex needs and issues a wide range of opportunities.
If you feel you are the forward-thinking, enthusiastic, self-motivated person required to help us achieve these goals, we would love to hear from you.
If you would like to discuss the post further or you would like to know more about the Youth Pathway Project initiative, please feel free to contact me for further details.
