Children and young people don’t have the same economic or political power as adults. Adult systems aren’t designed around children’s needs and when things go wrong it’s much harder for them to get justice. They need a champion who is an independent person able to challenge those in power. The role of Commissioner must do that, whilst bringing together different parts of the political and institutional systems and society in the best interests of the child. As well as being a champion for rights, a key part of the job is to work with people who make decisions that affect children and young people’s lives so that they deliver on their promises – for example within education, healthcare, housing and justice. Decision makers must understand their rights obligations and include and listen effectively to children and young people in order to do their jobs properly. Who we are The Commissioner for Children and Young People Scotland is an independent statutory public body. The office has a current budget of £1.76 million and a multidisciplinary team of 18 staff based in an office in Edinburgh but working across Scotland. We promote and safeguard the human rights of everyone in Scotland up to 18 or up to 21 years old if the young person has care experience. Scotland’s children and young people have told us that they need fierce champions for their human rights: people who share our values of bravery, independence, leadership, participation, and respect. You’d be joining the Commissioner and their hard-working, multidisciplinary and committed team, striving to influence and drive progressive law, policy and practice with children’s human rights. We do this by: · Raising awareness and understanding of children’s human rights. · Reviewing law, policy and practice relating to children’s human rights · Promoting best practice by service providers · Promoting, commissioning, undertaking and publishing research to promote better implementation of children’s human rights In doing this, the Commissioner must have regard to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and act in a way that encourages equal opportunities. We must also encourage the involvement of children and young people in the work of the office and consult relevant organisations working with, and for children and young people, placing a particular emphasis on those who are less likely to be included or listened to, and those whose rights are most at risk. Why join us? You’ll be valued as an essential part of a busy team, working every day to make an impact in children and young people’s lives in Scotland. You’ll also get the chance to work directly with children and young people. We are a vibrant, multidisciplinary team who pride ourselves on living our values of bravery, respect, participation, independence and leadership. Our work sits at the forefront of children’s rights in Scotland. Our fantastic, purpose designed office allows us to work flexibly and welcome children from across Scotland. We believe that The Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland is an amazing place to work. Not only do we believe we have a friendly and ambitious team which sets us apart and ensures that the work we do is of value to Scotland, we also provide all our employees with a very generous benefits package, rewarding them for the work they do, and ensuring that work-life balance and wellbeing is top priority. Our employee benefits package includes: · Competitive Salary · Access to the Civil Service Alpha Pension Scheme with generous employer pension contribution of 28.97% · 30 days annual leave plus 11.5 observed public holidays · Flexible working policies · Enhanced wellbeing initiatives including our Healthy Living Allowance and access to our Employee Assistance Programme offering shopping discounts, advice and counselling services. The key strategic issues impacting on this post will be: · Relevant domestic law including the Commissioner for Children and Young people (Scotland) Act 2003, the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 and the UNCRC (Incorporation) (Scotland) Act 2024 · International human rights instruments · Developments in domestic and international human rights case law · The Office’s Strategic Plan 2024-28 How to apply To apply, please click the Apply button now to fill out the application form within the recruitment pack.

Position Description: ServiceTrade empowers commercial service contractors in fire protection, HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and beyond to service smarter and scale faster. Our platform helps thousands of contractors maximize technician productivity, deliver digital-first customer experiences, and grow profitably. When skilled techs are hard to find and manual systems slow you down, ServiceTrade is how the best contractors pull ahead. Under the hood, that mission runs on a serious piece of engineering: a multi-tenant SaaS platform built on PHP, Doctrine, MySQL, MongoDB, and AWS, processing the real-time workflows that keep commercial service operations moving. It's battle-tested, revenue-generating, and architecturally complex. It's also ready for its next chapter. We're hiring a Staff Engineer to help write that chapter. You'll join a team that's investing in the long-term health of this platform: evolving the architecture, modernizing incrementally, improving reliability, leaning into AI acceleration tooling, and building the infrastructure to scale the next phase of growth, all without breaking what works for the thousands of contractors who depend on us every day. This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You'll own critical architectural decisions across backend and infrastructure, mentor engineers, and shape how we build software in this new world of agentic AI. If you've ever looked at a complex production system and thought "I know how to make this better, one piece at a time," this is the job. Why ServiceTrade: • Real problems at real scale. Sharded MySQL, MongoDB read models, event-driven async processing, multi-tenant isolation: this isn't a CRUD app. You'll work on genuinely interesting distributed systems challenges with real customers depending on the outcome., • Modernization with purpose. Our platform has years of production-hardened domain logic. The opportunity isn't to rewrite it, it's to evolve it. Incrementally migrate frameworks, extract services where it makes sense, adopt modern patterns, and improve developer experience, all while keeping the lights on for thousands of customers. This is the kind of work that separates good engineers from great ones., • First-Class Tooling. You will be equipped with the latest AI-assisted tooling available to help you navigate, refactor, and modernize our complex codebase more efficiently., • Influence without bureaucracy. This is a team where a staff engineer's voice carries real weight. You won't be writing RFCs that disappear into a committee. You'll propose a direction, build consensus, and ship it.
