Role Reports To: Delivery Leader for Glasgow and the West

Direct Reports: None

Job Family:  3 - £24,000 FTE

Department: Delivery

Overview

Volunteering Matters is a national volunteering and social change charity. We use the unique power of volunteering to resolve some of the UK’s most pressing social issues.  We have made a public commitment to “Keep the Promise” and we are thrilled to have received funding from The Promise Partnership. 

The Promise Partnership is responsible for driving change demanded by the findings of Scotland's Independent Care Review.  The review issued its vision for Scotland in February 2020, this was titled ‘The Promise' .

The Partnership works with all kinds of organisations to support shifts in policy, practice, and culture so Scotland can “Keep The Promise” it made to care experienced infants, children, young people, adults and their families - that every child in Scotland grows up loved, safe and respected, able to realise their full potential.

Role Purpose

As our Participation Manager you will lead to deliver organisational change in line with Scotland’s commitment to creating capacity in the ‘care system’ to Keep the Promise and provide holistic family support.  

The role involves working across Volunteering Matters and ProjectScotland’s portfolio of programmes across Scotland.  Working closely with a wide range of colleagues across our Delivery, Impact, HR and Comms teams, you will ensure that our projects and day-to-day practices align with the work and vision of the Promise and encorporate a rights based approach as now legislated in Scotland through the UNCRC. 

You will also support our internal Diversity, Inclusion and Equality network.

You will audit and assess the organisations current delivery and development landscape - evaluating, facilitating, reflecting, and then implementing measures to ensure we live and breathe the values of the Promise.  This includes internally within our organisation and externally across the communities we reach.  

The approach taken will include 5 foundations outlined by the Promise as a framework to guide activity:
 

Voice: Children must be listened to, and meaningfully and appropriately involved in decision-making about their care, with all those involved properly listening and responding to what children want and need. There must be a compassionate, caring decision-making culture focused on children and those they trust.

Family: Where children are safe in their families and feel loved they must stay – and families must be given support together to nurture that love and overcome the difficulties which get in the way.

Care: Where living with their family is not possible, children must stay with their brothers and sisters where safe to do so and belong to a loving home, staying there for as long as needed.

People: The children that Scotland cares for must be actively supported to develop relationships with people in the workforce and wider community, who in turn must be supported to listen and be compassionate in their decision-making and care.

Scaffolding: Children, families and the workforce must be supported by a system that is there when it is needed. The scaffolding of help, support and accountability must be ready and responsive when it is required.

We aim to normalise care experienced people’s active and meaningful participation in the design and delivery of our projects (both current and future), the recruitment of staff, our ways of working and through our day to day and long term impact.

We aim to improve our ability to support and challenge on behalf and alongside care experienced people in a manner that is empowering & enabling to them and demonstrates our organisation’s ability to continue to evolve and develop.  

Benefits package: Pension, unlimited annual leave, fully flexible working, cycle to work & season ticket loan.
