Future Pathways
Future Pathways offers support to people who were abused or neglected as a child when they were in the Scottish care system. The service was established alongside the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and has expanded considerably since its start in 2016. Future Pathways’ aim is to help people live well. To change paths, enjoy life, succeed and grow. Working closely with our Commissioner, the Scottish Government and more than 40 delivery partners, Future Pathways has pioneered a unique model of support that is transformative.

Learning and Impact - Future Pathways - Scotland's In Care Support Fund
Our partnership approach is rooted in understanding that the impact of childhood trauma is individual and lifelong. We recognise that the experience of abuse in care often means people may face significant barriers to accessing much needed help.
As importantly, everyone we support will have different needs and have insight about what will work best for them. We provide a safe and trusted space for people to explore what is most important to them and to access tailored help toward their goals.
As Impact & Evaluation Lead, you’ll be responsible to plan, design and complete evaluation activity that can assess Future Pathways’ progress towards its strategic objectives. As importantly, you will work closely with the Quality Improvement Manager to ensure that innovation and improvement is at the heart of our approach.
You’ll work closely with our Innovation and Improvement team, and other Impact & Evaluation Leads to ensure consistency of approach to evaluation across the organisation, ensuring that Penumbra’s experience and insight from other programmes is applied in Future Pathways. You will manage data gathering and report writing activities within the Programmes team, to inform service improvement and programme development in collaboration with our partners.
As a mental health charity, we value the wellbeing of our staff. That’s why we want you to know that you’ll be joining a friendly team, who will give you a supportive environment to help you thrive in your role, including all the training you need to feel confident and equipped.
We can offer you a range of employee benefits, and we can promise you’ll be inspired by some amazing humans every single day. We will support you on your own career path; developing new skills, accessing formal and informal learning experiences and providing opportunities to put your continual progress into practice.
