Mission Statement: To prevent youth homelessness; and to support young people to build better futures.

We are Scotland’s leading youth homelessness charity. We believe that no young person should ever face homelessness. That’s why we deliver bold, youth-specific solutions, built around young people’s experiences and what evidence tells us works.

We support young people to avoid and move on from homelessness, helping them build the confidence, skills and stability they need to thrive in adulthood. We also influence policy and practice to create a Scotland where no young person is left behind.

We don’t follow the system, we change it, continually championing the voices and experiences of all young people.

Context: Board Trustees ensure the delivery of all aspects of our service and policy implementation, whilst supporting the Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team in achieving the organisation’s vision and purpose. We are looking for individuals who can help us expand the range of skills around the table.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community and are committed to creating a diverse team.

Experience required

At this time, we are seeking two individuals:

• One with third sector, social care / youth work leadership or fundraising / commissioning experience; and
• One with experience of organisational development and Human Resources.

Political acuity would also be highly desirable.

Candidates do not need experience or knowledge of youth homelessness but must be committed and passionate about making a difference for young homeless people.
