They model the behaviours we expect from our staff and our students, which helps us to sustain such a vibrant culture across the College and they are each a positive and vocal ambassador for the work that we do.
Having given consideration to our strategy and the future aspirations of our colleges, we have identified a need to add further depth to our Board, and more specifically, we seek to appoint candidates who will bring experience in the areas of:
- Financial leadership and strategy
- Audit
- Risk mitigation
Who we are looking for
We are looking for professionals who will use their experience and expertise within their professional field to offer appropriate levels of challenge, scrutiny and support as we continue to achieve our strategic objectives and improve student outcomes. You will need a passion for success and recognise the important impact education has on the communities we serve.
New governors are welcome to apply, provided they are keen to bring their experience to an organisation with a social conscience and a demonstrable track record of positive impact. All new members will be supported with a full induction, ongoing support, and training.
Peridot Partners and Hugh Baird College are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Working in partnership with the NHS, the education and social work sectors and with other charities and community organisations, The Archie Foundation supports vital care, comfort, research and family‑centred services aimed at alleviating the stress of illness and enhancing wellbeing at challenging times.
The charity’s work is underpinned by a commitment to dignity, compassion, inclusion and excellence — supporting staff, volunteers, and trustees to deliver high-quality care and meaningful impact at every level.
The Archie Foundation is seeking an ambitious, strategic, and business-minded Chair to lead its Board of Trustees and drive the organisation forward. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced leader who understands that, while Archie is a charity, it operates like a high-performing business.
About the Role of Chair
The Chair provides leadership and direction to the Board of Trustees, ensuring the charity fulfils its strategic, governance, and financial responsibilities. The role is more than chairing meetings: you will be hands-on, actively engaging with the Chief Executive, the Board, and stakeholders to shape and deliver the organisation’s vision.

The Chair will attend Board and Finance & Governance meetings, participate in strategy reviews, and engage with stakeholders, funders, and key partners. You will also work closely with the Chief Executive and senior staff, providing guidance, oversight, and active support across the charity’s operations.
About You
This opportunity is for a strategic and business-minded leader with strong commercial acumen or experience as a high-performing charity CEO. A solid understanding of financial management, budgeting, and reporting, combined with a critical eye, ensures the organisation remains financially sound and strategically focused.
An inspiring presence, the Chair motivates and aligns the Board, senior leadership, and stakeholders behind a shared vision, while actively engaging beyond formal board meetings. Experience of working with complex organisations—ideally including the public or health sector—enables effective navigation of partnerships with professionalism and confidence. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills allow for constructive challenge, guidance in decision-making, and support in ensuring the charity achieves its ambitions while staying true to its values.
This is an excellent opportunity for a leader who values strategic leadership, collaboration, and making a lasting difference in the lives of children, babies, and families across Scotland. It is preferred that candidates are located within a 50-mile radius of the main charity offices at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital.

We are looking for new volunteers to join the Meet Me team to support Meet Me at the Albany in person and remote activities.
What is Meet Me at the Albany?
In 2013 Entelechy Arts and the Albany, in partnership with Lewisham Council, established Meet Me at the Albany – an arts and social club for over 65s. Meet Me… is led by a vibrant and diverse community of previously isolated older people, who come together weekly to run a cross-art form social and creative programme to make friends, be creative, advocate for themselves, and contribute to the vibrant cultural life of Lewisham.
On Tuesdays we get together at the Albany theatre in Deptford, and get involved with everything from singing to painting, from crafting to gardening. During the COVID pandemic we took our groups onto the telephone, and seeing the massive benefits these groups brought we have continued with our Meet Me on the Telephone programme. Find more detailed information further down this page!
Who we are looking for?
Our volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the smooth running of our weekly and monthly sessions. These roles are perfect for people who enjoy meeting new people, engaging in conversations, and trying new things. They’re also ideal for those who like to listen and provide support based on individual needs and interests.
Skills and experience:
Personable and Friendly: We need volunteers who are approachable and easy to talk to.
Strong Listening Skills: Essential for connecting with our members and ensuring their safety.
Experience with Older Adults: While prior experience working with older people or supporting their creativity is beneficial, it’s not required—just an interest in doing so.
Adaptable and Flexible: Activities may change, so volunteers should be open to adjusting their approach as needed.
Creative Sharing (Optional): Some volunteers enjoy sharing their creativity with our members, but this is not a requirement.
We’re also looking for volunteers who are interested in helping out with marketing and social media, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, get in touch! It would be great if you also have experience of working with people living with dementia.
What’s next?
Get in touch for an initial chat. We will then invite you to complete a registration form and book you on to our next available training session. Training will cover safeguarding, setting boundaries and explore the programme. It is a chance to work through possible scenarios and ensure you feel confident to join us for one of the in person or over the phone sessions.

For over four decades, Oasis has been at the forefront of sustainable and holistic community development, addressing inequality across economic, social, physical and spiritual dimensions. Our approach spans education, housing, justice, health, youth and family support.
At the core of the Oasis vision is a belief in the transformative power of community.

Lambeth Links is a small charity with a big ambition: to be a central point of rallying, communication and advocacy for the LGBTQIA+ Community who live, work and socialise in Lambeth – the largest borough in London. The organisation aims to strengthen the links between individuals and groups while also highlighting the many issues that continue to adversely affect the community.
Lambeth has a deep and rich history of LGBTQIA+ activism. From being home to founding members of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) to hosting Europe’s first EuroPride in Brixton in 1992, the borough has long been the beating heart of the LGBTQIA+ Community. Lambeth Links exists to continue that legacy of championing collective voice and driving forward change.
As CEO, you will lead the operational and strategic running of the charity, make sure that the organisation runs well every day and that it has the people, systems and income to grow.

- Experience of working directly with or supporting a Board of Trustees or similar governing body, including preparing papers, giving honest advice and implementing decisions.
- Experience of organisational development or change, for example improving systems, structures, culture or ways of working in a small organisation.
- Understanding of the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people, including those who are Black or from other communities of colour, disabled people and people with insecure immigration status, and a commitment to intersectional practice.
