If so, we would like to hear from you! Routes to Work South (RTWS) is an award-winning organisation committed to alleviating poverty and supporting unemployed South Lanarkshire residents to develop skills, confidence and knowledge required to progress into and sustain employment. We work collaboratively with partner agencies, employers, and stakeholders to deliver flexible, accessible, client-centred employability and skills services that respond to the needs of local communities and the labour market. Our services support individuals facing a range of barriers to employment, helping people progress through different stages of the employability pipeline towards positive and sustained outcomes. At Routes to Work South, our Leaders turn strategy into action.

From service quality and compliance to performance and customer experience, you’ll lead from the front ensuring high standards are consistently maintained. If you thrive in a fast-paced, outcomes-focused environment and are motivated by getting the best from people, driving improvement and making a real difference, this could be the role for you. This is a new leadership opportunity for someone to build on RTWS’s established track record of delivering effective youth services. Currently, our youth offer includes employability support and tailored training programmes, complemented by the delivery of a dedicated Youth Hub from our Cambuslang office. Together, these services support young people to overcome barriers, develop skills and progress towards positive destinations, contributing to improved School Leaver Destinations. With youth unemployment and the risk of young people becoming NEET continuing to be a significant challenge, we want to broaden our reach, strengthen pathways into employment, education and training, and improve outcomes. As Youth Services Leader, you’ll have the opportunity to shape this development, bringing fresh ideas and identifying new ways to increase our impact. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you’ll provide strong, hands-on leadership, taking ownership of team performance and driving performance against KPIs and targets. You’ll maintain high standards of quality and customer experience while ensuring full compliance with contractual and funding requirements. You’ll champion an inclusive, person-centred approach while providing the support and constructive challenge needed to get the best from your team. Working closely with other Leaders and the Senior Management Team, you’ll contribute to organisational priorities, turn strategy into action and help shape the future direction of RTWS’s youth services.

Chief Executive Officer

Scottish Youth Parliament
Full time
£60,000 - £70,000
Hybrid: Edinburgh
Closing

The Scottish Youth Parliament is the democratically elected voice of Scotland’s young people. We provide a national platform for young people to discuss the issues that matter to them, defend their rights and influence the decisions that shape their lives. Around 160 Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament – MSYPs – represent communities and voluntary organisations across Scotland. Our organisation is genuinely youth-led: our campaigns and priorities are shaped by young people, and our Board is made up entirely of young Trustees aged between 16 and 25. We are now looking for our next Chief Executive. This is an opportunity to lead a respected national organisation with a strong political profile and a proud record of achieving change. SYP’s campaigns have contributed to Votes at 16, equal marriage and the incorporation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child into Scots law. Working closely with our Chair and Board, you will help set SYP’s strategic direction and turn the ambitions of our Strategic Plan and Dear Scotland’s Future manifesto into meaningful action. You will lead and develop our staff team, strengthen our relationships with decision-makers and partners, and ensure that SYP remains sustainable, well-governed and equipped for the future. You will also be a visible ambassador for SYP and young people’s rights. You will build trusted relationships across government, Parliament, local authorities, funders, the third sector and the wider youth work community, influencing effectively while protecting SYP’s political impartiality. We are looking for a values-led, inclusive and ambitious leader with experience of delivering results within a complex organisation. You will bring strong strategic and people leadership skills, sound judgement and an understanding of governance, finance and organisational risk. You will also understand how policy is developed and influenced in Scotland. Most importantly, you will believe in youth leadership. You will know how to advise, support and constructively challenge a young board without taking ownership of its decisions. You will listen carefully, communicate openly and create space for young people to lead. You do not need to be an existing Chief Executive. You may be ready to take your first step into a CEO role, having already demonstrated the leadership capability, values and potential to succeed at this level. Experience of youth work would be valuable but is not essential. What is essential is a genuine commitment to young people’s rights, meaningful participation and social justice. SYP wants its leadership and staff team to reflect the diversity of Scotland’s young people. We therefore welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage interest from candidates whose perspectives and experiences are underrepresented in senior leadership. A flexible approach to evening and weekend work will be required. For more information: Chief Executive Officer – Scottish Youth Parliament
