  Barnardo's is seeking to recruit a Team Manager who will support the delivery of the Ubuntu Project in Scotland.
Ubuntu "Humanity towards others" is a new project delivered by Barnardo's. Thanks to National Lottery players, Barnardo's has received over £4.5 million over four years from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest community funder in the UK. The funding will be used to develop regional support networks for families arrived seeking sanctuary across Northern Ireland; Scotland and Hertfordshire. The Project aims to empower young voices from a refugee and asylum-seeking background and create sustainable community support., We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
