ILF Scotland is a Non-Departmental Scottish Public Body (NDPB) constituted as a company limited by guarantee. It was created following the closure of the UK ILF in June 2015 and has been administering Scottish ILF funding for existing fund recipients in Scotland and Northern Ireland since 1 July 2015.
ILF Scotland distributes annual funding to support individual recipients to lead independent lives. The organisation consists of a staff team of around 80, who provide award management services for approximately 8,000 current fund recipients split between the 2015 Fund and Transition Fund.
The organisation is fully funded by and accountable to, Scottish and Northern Ireland Government Ministers via a Board of Directors. Directors are appointed by Scottish Ministers in-line with the Scottish Public Appointments process.
As a values-based organisation, ILF Scotland takes a values led approach to legislative compliance where people and relationship building are a key focus.
Whatever role you have, your experience and contributions are valued, and you will be a vital part of our unique and influential organisation.
Our values are at the heart of our organisation and guide everything we do.
We want future employees to understand and recognise the importance we give to equality, diversity and inclusion and we would like to attract candidates who can demonstrate this commitment too.
We want to increase the diversity of our workforce. We especially welcome applications from people with disabilities, people with care experience, people from a minority ethnic background, young people, men (we currently have 76% female workforce) and people from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans community.
We invite protected characteristic groups to explore any recruitment challenges and connect with us at recruitment@ilf.scot to arrange a meeting.
ILF Scotland has achieved Disability Confident Level 2 status. We are continuing to take steps to help disabled people to fulfil their potential.
In practical terms what this means is where you choose to declare you have disability, you may be offered an interview where you meet the minimum criteria (sometimes shown as desirable skills) for the role as defined by us as the employer.
It also means that we will plan for, and make reasonable adjustments to, the assessment and interview process – for example, small things such as allowing candidates to complete a written test using a computer or by giving more time can make a substantial difference to how well a candidate can perform at interview. We will also make sure that people involved in the interviewing process understand the Disability Confident commitment and know how to offer and make adjustments.
Our action plan will be collaborated on and shared to ensure we commit to the level 2 status. Further information about the Disability Confident Award and what this means is available on their website Disability Confident - Disability Positive.
If you have a disability and require a reasonable adjustment(s) to apply for a job with us, please reach out to recruitment@ilf.scot to arrange a discussion. For support with the interview process and/or during employment, please note this on your application form.
We are proud to have achieved a number of awards and accreditations of recognition and accomplishment. We believe that the work undertaken and time invested in attaining these awards and accreditations grows and embeds an inclusive culture within ILF Scotland. These also represent our commitment to embracing best practices and our responsibility to keeping our skills and knowledge up-to-date.
Our accreditations include:
We’ve got a lot to offer and you’ll be joining a great team where you’ll be able to contribute right from the start.
Our expert workforce champions high-quality care and we work collaboratively with other organisations to share good practice and support and spread improvement and innovation across Scotland.
We work hard to make sure everyone feels involved and appreciated, with a sense of belonging. Learning and improvement are at the heart of what we do. We go out of our way to listen to all of our staff and act on what they say, so we can learn and improve together.
We know that to perform at our best we need great people. So, we provide training and support you to be the best you can be and provide opportunities to learn, develop and share your skills and experience with others.
If you’re registered with a professional body, we provide support for continuing professional development (CPD) and re-validation. Everyone participates in regular supervision through line management.
You will be warmly welcomed and have access to a range of activities including induction to your team, the organisation and your role. We offer a friendly and supportive place to work, where our values of dignity, trust, and respect underpin the work we do and how we work together.
We encourage a healthy work-life balance. We have a number of policies in place that support flexible working and time off when you need it, such as flexible hours, home / hybrid working, carers leave and special leave. The vast majority of our people work flexibly and value how this supports their work-life balance. We also offer access to a wide range of wellbeing initiatives, including specialist webinars, videos, podcasts, counselling, a listening service and access to the BHSF Connect app.
We offer an excellent total rewards package – it is a comprehensive and strategic approach to employee compensation and benefits, that aligns with the ILF Scotland’s aims. It encompasses various elements that will contribute to your overall employee experience, including benefits, work-life balance, and development.
