Here at Balmedie House in Balmedie we don’t just see those we work with as older people. They’re someone’s mum. Someone’s dad. Someone’s grandparent. For us, providing the best quality of care is hugely rewarding and our goal is to ensure that every one of our residents enjoys the best possible quality of life.

Something as simple as a smile can make the world of difference our service users and us. If you share our belief, this is your opportunity to join our close-knit and supportive team. It can be pretty challenging at times and priorities can change quickly so you will definitely need to be a patient and understanding individual. We work closely together as a team though – there’s always someone to talk to and we all help each other out wherever we can.

While an SVQ 3 qualification in Social Care would be ideal, it’s not essential as we’ll support you to gain it. In fact, we’ll make sure that you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too. You can also look forward to an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations.

At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need. But the real story of CrossReach is the work that our staff do: reaching out and making a real difference to the lives of others. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it. You do not need to share our faith. These posts are subject to PVG Membership.

Here at Heart for Art in Stonehaven and Broughty Ferry we enable people with dementia to connect with society and express themselves, whilst breaking down the barriers of preconception and stigma, through the creative arts.

As Creative Arts Co-ordinator you will organise and facilitate therapeutic creative arts workshops for our service users with dementia living in the local community. This will include providing creative arts activities in groups or a one-to-one basis.

What do you need?

To have achieved, or be working towards, an Arts based qualification and be willing to work towards an SVQ Level 3 qualification or equivalent. You will need a good understanding of dementia and how therapeutic art can assist individuals to develop and retain skills. In return we’ll give you all the further training and development you need.

Braemar Community Limited seeks to appoint a Volunteer & Training Coordinator for an initial 9 month period as it develops its Round 2 Heritage Lottery Fund application for the £1.5m upgrade and redevelopment of Braemar Castle. The post will principally focus on developing the Volunteering Strategy and Training Plan that will form key supporting documents in the application.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

A key focus of the redevelopment project is the expansion and diversification of activity programming that will enable BCL to reach a greater volume and wider range of audiences. Developing our volunteering and training offer is a core strand of our activity programme and also, as a principally volunteer-run attraction, integral to the long-term sustainability of Braemar Castle. During the development phase the Volunteer & Training Coordinator will have two principal tasks:

• Developing a Volunteer Strategy – formal strategy setting out our volunteer aspirations and core targets alongside our approach to achieving them. The strategy should include our approach to volunteer recruitment, management and training; an outline of the roles available the benefits and recognition volunteers will receive.
• Developing a Training Plan – a formal training plan developed for all staff, volunteers and trainees with provisions for a partner training scheme and ‘train the trainer’ sessions.

It is important that both documents reflect the audience development aspirations and activity ideas set out by BCL. The Volunteer & Training Coordinator will be involved with developing the roles and engagement projects which will involve volunteers, staff and trainees as well as formulating the processes and mechanism by which they will be recruited, managed and rewarded.

Consultation, with BCL, existing volunteers, the local community and potential project partners is critical for the development of both documents and therefore a key duty of the post holder. Collating baseline information and setting out a plan for monitoring and evaluation volunteering and training activity is also a job requirement.
