The aim of this role is to ensure the effective delivery of the Wet Woodland Habitat, Boardwalk and Platform as well as supporting the delivery elements of the Art in the Woods Project.

The post holder will also be responsible for delivering the approved (WIAT) Woodland Improvement and Sustainable Forest Management Grants for K-woodlands Community Urban Woodland Management Project.

As K-Woodlands Project Delivery Officer (CWEO) you will be the ambassador for the charity, East Kilbride Community Trust. To meet our expectations in this exciting role you will also have good self awareness, be resilient, creative, have good organizational, social media and IT skills.

With much of your time being spent out in the community or in the woodland you will need to be able to work independently and on your own initiative and have flexibility when it comes to working hours and weekends.

The Haven is an award winning charity which aims to improve the quality of life of people affected by a range of life limiting conditions including cancer, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and dementia. Information and support is provided, to clients and their families, by a multidisciplinary team of nurses, therapists and volunteers. Our aim is to support our clients to understand all aspects of their illness, treatment and care; to improve their emotional wellbeing and ability to manage stress and to sustain carers in their caring role. The Haven has been recognised nationally through attainment of the King’s Fund/GSK IMPACT Award and the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.

In April 2016 a brand new custom designed building opened in Forth with the aim, via a 3 year development plan, of becoming a vibrant hub from which to deliver an increased range and number of Haven services to families across rural Clydesdale. The ‘Be Included Be Involved’ Project is a new initiative designed to increase access for people living in Forth and the surrounding areas of Clydesdale to a range of volunteering opportunities.

Volunteers are a very important part of The Haven team who work as part of a multidisciplinary team with nurses and therapists to ensure our clients receive the highest standard of care. Volunteer opportunities within The Haven, such as Peer Support Volunteers, Volunteer therapists and a range of additional volunteering opportunities allow people to learn new skills, build confidence and develop experience in a health care setting and as a result move them further towards their personal volunteering/career aspirations.

Through the delivery of an exciting new initiative, the “Be Included - Be Involved” project, and with the support of key partners, we aim to establish self-sustaining, robust volunteering pathways and 30 volunteering opportunities. This will allow us to increase the range and number of services we deliver to families affected by Life Limiting Illness in Clydesdale.

Be Included Be Involved offers the potential for a highly motivated, empathic and compassionate individual to join our multidisciplinary team to support the successful development and delivery of the project and associated outcomes. This is an ideal opportunity for a recent college or university graduate to develop a range of skills in an intern/project assistant role or equally for a confident and skilled administrator to undertake a new challenge as part of a project team.

This post will be based within The Haven Centre at Forth (36 Manse Rd, Forth ML11 8AJ).

• Build strong, direct relationships with your clients and team
• Gain valuable experience working in a social care environment
• Great job satisfaction

Every day at Threshold Support Services, our team provides a wide range of support to people with learning disabilities living throughout South Lanarkshire. We help them to lead ordinary lives, participating in their local communities and activities of their choice. This means creating a safe, secure and supportive environment and empowering them to take charge of their own lives and live life to the full.

Sometimes it’s the little things that count. Such as encouragement to keep their home tidy, going with them to the shops on a Wednesday, or the cinema on Thursday, helping them to attend a college course, or to arrange a social night with friends. It can be pretty challenging at times but working as part of our support team, your support will definitely make the difference.

What do you need? No direct experience is required. It’s more a positive approach and a genuine interest in helping others in a practical way. Experience of supporting people in their own homes would be an advantage. A qualification in Social Care would be ideal but 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.

In return, 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.

The post is funded for 3 years by the Scottish Government to help advance support and information services, and reduce waiting lists. We also work to improve partnerships across Lanarkshire, helping to create a more comprehensive provision.

“Much more than just a job. It’s the way that you do it that matters.”

• Excellent training and development opportunities
• Great job satisfaction
• Good team-working

Here at Well Hall in Hamilton, 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 to our day, and theirs. 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.
