Signpost supports families with disabled children, by providing both a listening ear and practical help. This support is vital for families facing the challenges of their child’s disability, and can make the difference between families having the same choices and chances as anyone else, and missing out on the ‘ordinary life’ that every family should enjoy. We are looking for up to 3 new trustees to join our Management Committee and take a lead role in helping the organisation to take forward its strategic plan. We welcome enquiries from all interested parties, particularly if you have a business background, or if you have experience of using local services for young people with additional needs, but your commitment, enthusiasm, communication skills, ability to work as a member of a team and openness to learning are the most desirable skills. To arrange an informal chat, or a visit to Signpost to find out more, please register your interest. All trustees are jointly responsible for overseeing the work of the organisation, through monthly meetings and an annual development day at which staff and committee members decide the future direction of the charity’s work. This provides an excellent opportunity for continuing professional and personal development, as induction and training are provided to trustees. Parent carers seeking to develop new skills, and those from the business community seeking a way to make a meaningful contribution to their local community are especially welcome.

Home-Start Stirling has sound financial systems for managing and monitoring our financial well-being. The treasurer plays a key role in reviewing and reporting the ongoing financial stability of the organisation to the Board of Trustees. The Treasurer is expected to provide financial reports to the Board of Trustees every 6 weeks and annual budgets outlining income and expenditure over a projected 3 year period. In conjunction with the Manager, the Treasurer supports funding applications and monitoring/reporting on successful grants/funding/donations etc. In managing day-to-day income and expenditure we use Paxton Accounting for Charities software, experience of this software is not necessary to this role as training will be provided. Experience of managing budgets, using excel and word would be an added advantage.

We are a team of volunteers based in and around Aberdeen responsible for Pushing Out the Boat, North-East Scotland’s magazine of new writing and the visual arts. The Coordinator/Project Manager role involves project management of both team and the tasks needed to produce our regular magazine. You would be joining us along with our new editor in time to help manage an entire production cycle from the commitment to go ahead through to publication and launch of a new edition. You would assign and coordinate tasks with team members, compile a schedule of tasks critical to the agreed timetable, and ensure those tasks are completed timeously. We are a registered charity (Registered No. SC044919) and you would become a member of our managing committee. While an interest in the arts would be a bonus, experience in coordination and project management are more important to fulfil this role successfully. We are a friendly group and the work of the editor and coordinator/project manager is supported by a wider team at and between regular committee meetings.

Established in 2009, CREATE Paisley is an innovative youth project at the heart of Renfrewshire (Paisley) which seeks to see young people transformed through creativity, community, confidence and finding their voice . Create Paisley is founded upon a Christian ethos. The events and activities which Create run, are not evangelistic, but are underpinned by five of what we believe are God’s values in the world; love, justice, community, empowerment, and, last but not least, creativity. CREATE has worked with thousands of young people over the last 9 years, providing safe, creative spaces and opportunities for young people through youth drop ins, open mic nights, creative arts workshops, youth forums, youth volunteering and supporting young people to make a difference. CREATE’s activities are supported by a Project Manager and a dedicated team of 30 volunteers. As a result of a strategic review over the last 12 months, CREATE has developed a new vision statement, defined social objectives and written a 3 year business plan with ambitious goals to reach our vision through developing our staffing team, income generation whilst ensuring we maintain our community development approach and that programmes and approaches reflect the current needs. We currently have an exciting opportunity to recruit Trustees to join the Board of CREATE. We are looking for individuals who have an interest in enriching the lives of young people in Paisley through partnering in our vision and values and offering their skills and experience to help the organisation grow and develop.
