We are excited to announce that Greig Paterson has been appointed to our Board of Directors.
Greig has a longstanding association with Into Work, spending 7 years working across a number of different frontline services and projects. This includes All In Edinburgh and Edinburgh Project SEARCH, as well as creating and delivering the ‘Employability+’ programme in East Lothian.
He currently works as a Developing Young Workforce Coordinator in High Schools for East Lothian Council, bringing the curriculum to life through employer engagement, events and workshops.
Greig brings a wealth of knowledge to the Board, with 16 years’ experience working in youth, support work and employability services across Edinburgh and the Lothians. He will be working with our Policy and Public Affairs Officer to connect the Lived Experience Policy Group with the Board
I am excited to be joining the board of Into Work as it’s a charity that makes a positive difference to the people that use the service. I am very much looking forward to supporting the organisation grow and continue the amazing work that they do.
Greig Paterson
It is a pleasure to welcome Greig back to Into Work in the role of Director following his expressed interest at our 30th Anniversary celebration in November 2023. Greig shadowed the Director’s January 2024 Board meeting and was appointed following this.
We are currently working on further Director appointments from our recent recruitment to attract particular skills and experience to the Board which we will announce in our next newsletter. This certainly is an exciting time to be involved in the governance and delivery of Into Work and a good opportunity to thank all our volunteers who give up their time to help us achieve our aims.
