Join Staf’s Board

Help shape young people’s futures.

Good afternoon Friend,

As part of the Staf community, you’ll already know a bit about who we are and what we stand for. Since 1998, Staf has brought together people across Scotland who share a commitment to improving the lives of care experienced young people.

What began in response to concerns from frontline practitioners and managers about the challenges young people faced when moving on from care has grown into Scotland’s national membership organisation for everyone involved in their lives. Together, we’ve built a strong community of learning, peer support and change.

Our shared vision is that the wellbeing and success of young people leaving care should be indistinguishable from that of their peers. And our values guide everything we do: We Listen. We Care. We Love.

Now, we’re looking for people who share that vision to help shape Staf’s future by joining our Board.

Could you bring something to our Board?

Being a Staf trustee is an opportunity to use your skills, knowledge, networks or lived experience to help guide our work and influence change across Scotland.

We're looking for new Board members to help shape and deliver our forthcoming five-year strategy. We're keen to hear from people who share our values and can bring different perspectives, fresh ideas and a commitment to improving support for care-experienced young people.

We're particularly interested in people with skills, knowledge or experience in areas such as:

Adult learning, community education and employability
Youth justice, children's services and throughcare and aftercare
Policy, strategic leadership and influencing change
Ethnic diasporas, unaccompanied asylum seekers and New Scots
Community engagement and connecting members
Housing and homelessness prevention
Digital, IT and systems management
Communications and public relations
Strategic income generation, fundraising and financial management
Corporate engagement and education

Governance experience would be beneficial, but training and support will be provided.

Above all, we're looking for people who share our values and are committed to ensuring young people have every opportunity to flourish as they transition to adulthood.

If you have skills or experience you'd like to bring to Staf's Board, we'd love to hear from you.

Hear from one of our Board members

“It’s been a privilege to serve as a trustee with Staf for the last few years, working alongside other board members and learning how Staf plays its part in promoting the interests and views of care experienced young people. If you’re reading this, sharing our commitment to promoting the interests of young care leavers and thinking ‘I could do that’, the team would love to hear from you.”

Interested in joining us?

You don’t have to decide straight away. If you’re curious about becoming a trustee, get in touch with Jen at jennifer@staf.scot to arrange an informal chat with Jo Derrick, Staf’s CEO. It’s a chance to ask questions and find out more about what being a Board member involves before deciding whether to apply.
