Salary Range: £45,585 - £56,021 FTE: 1.0 (35 hours/week) Term: Fixed Term (12 months) Closing Date: 01/09/2023 Change-makers sought! Do you want to help Scotland to Keep The Promise? We’re looking for an innovative and experienced professional to help us improve the lives of children, young people and care leavers by supporting the stability and security all children and young people have a right to. We’re looking for someone to be part of our Children’s Services Implementation team who’ll bring passion, insight and expertise to our work, focused on making effective family support and, where needed, high quality alternative care available to children and young people, their families and carers. This role will actively work alongside partners and stakeholders to create the readiness and conditions necessary to support transformational change. This post involves working across and with children’s services, other partner organisations and with those who have lived experience, to support and embed impactful systems change and improvement. With others in the team, this post will support the development of genuine partnerships to facilitate staged based and evidence-based approaches to change. At CELCIS we apply a variety of methodologies across our work and within this team there is a particular focus on the use of implementation, complex change and system change approaches to drive, enable and embed sustainable change. Central to the role is the ability to learn and apply these evidence based approaches through skilled facilitation and coaching to support the implementation of innovative and evidence-based practices that will better meet the needs of children, families and carers. The role would suit candidates with the compassion, sensitivity, strong relationship-building skills and the ‘systems’ thinking and approaches required to support, facilitate and encourage systemic and strategic change in practices. Do you have experience of working within the children’s care and protection sector? Can you demonstrate a deep understanding of and commitment to the change and improvement set out in the Promise Change Plan, and respecting lived experience of care? Are you passionate about using a range of improvement approaches to make this happen? You will have an appropriate professional qualification/relevant degree, with substantial practical experience and evidence of successful collaborative working, including preferably experience of using an improvement and implementation approach. Does this sound like you? Apply now. As a leading improvement and innovation centre in Scotland, CELCIS works to improve the lives of children and young people in need of care and protection, their families and carers. We do this by supporting people and organisations responsible for their care to make changes in services and in the practices and skills they use, all based on the needs and experiences of children and young people. https://www.celcis.org Funding for the post: Like for all colleagues in the team, this post is initially funded for 12 months, with a further year of funding indicated by Scottish Government. CELCIS has received funding in this way from Scottish Government since 2010 where we agree our funding level every year, as well as agree the indicative level. Formal interviews for this post will be held on 12/09/2023. Informal enquiries about the post can be directed to Emma Hanley, Children’s Services Implementation Lead, ([email protected]).
