CrossReach is one of the leading social care providers in Scotland. We have over 1,800 staff, as well as around 500 volunteers, working all across Scotland. Diverse as we are, we are united by our desire to care for those in need, as well as each other.

We are currently recruiting for a Community and Events Officer who will support, develop and inspire volunteers and fundraising groups to ensure our local fundraising activity is as effective as possible.

This is a role that’s all about achieving potential. For the people you’ll be working with – young adults with learning disabilities – it’s about discovering more independence and living their best life. For you, it’s about finding a career with incredible impact, personal reward, and bright prospects.

You’ll work with our new transitions services, helping support our service users through a key time in their lives, as they move from the school system and into adulthood. While the day-to-day tasks depend on the service you join – our residential or day centre – you’ll help them take the next steps toward more independent living, across all aspects of their lives. You might be helping create a stable home life, supporting daily activities like washing clothes and preparing meals. Or you could play a part in introducing them to the community – getting out to the shops or going to the cinema. Either way, doing the job well means really getting to know them: looking past their disability to see the person and understand what they enjoy.

Whether you have experience of working with learning disabilities or another area of social care, or even if you’re emphatic person looking to put your people skills to good use, this is opportunity to make a real difference during a crucial period in someone’s life.

As well as our full induction, you’ll have plenty of training opportunities along with mentoring from experienced colleagues. If you haven’t got professional qualifications already, we’ll help you gain SVQ 2 and SVQ 3 qualifications – or SVQ 4, for Senior Support Workers. And with our continued support for your development, you could find a bright future with CrossReach.

That’s because we’re one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social care charities, with more than 1,600 people working across 60 services around the country. A career with us could lead to all sorts of possibilities. Looking after vulnerable families. Getting homeless people off the streets. Helping children outside mainstream education make a better future.

In exchange, as well as a competitive salary, you’ll have a generous pension, health benefits, paid holiday and access to a range of retail and leisure discounts.

Facilitating change, setting high-level strategies, developing a brand, driving big ideas through to fruition – for a strategic thinker and savvy communicator, this would be a rewarding role in any large, sector-leading organisation. But, as CrossReach is one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social care providers, this a role with incredible potential. It’s your chance to turn business skills into human impact.

We’re an organisation that is made to make a difference. From a network of 60-plus services, we reach out to help vulnerable people across the country – children and families, adults with learning disabilities, older people in care and those who may have fallen through the cracks in society. It’s vital work, but we believe we can do more. That’s where you come in.

You’ll help lead our strategic development, focusing on areas like marketing, external relations, and business development. So, as well as producing an organisation-wide communications strategy and reviewing our corporate branding tools, you’ll also look at how we manage business opportunities and respond to competitive tenders. As a member of our senior management team, you’ll also have a broader role to play in leading the organisation – with the chance to make your voice heard and contribute to our strategic direction.

It’s a role that demands a true leader, equally adept at managing change and at developing people. With a track record in business development or marketing – ideally within the social care sector – you know all about creating clear corporate communications and driving business effectiveness.

There’s little doubt that it’s a position that comes with real challenge. But you’ll also find a lot of support. Just as you shape our development, we’ll help drive yours – with ongoing training and support for professional qualifications. You’ll find it’s a role that’s rewarding in every sense, as we’ll provide generous benefits including an employer contributory pension, health plan, paid holiday and access to a range of leisure and retail discounts.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team providing therapeutic face-to-face and online support in schools and from our centre in Inverness. As well as working with children, you’ll look to nurture relationships with schools, showcasing the service we offer. And as a senior member of the team, you’ll not only provide an example for others to follow, but also play a role in supporting the manager – assessing and allocating referrals, developing policies and procedures, and recruiting and training staff. Above all, you’ll help maintain our supportive network and exceptional standards, not just for the team but for yourself too, by developing and honing your therapeutic skills.

It’s a role for a seasoned professional, with a Diploma in Counselling and a CYP qualification, or equivalent. Excellent communication skills and plenty of post-qualifying practice hours go without saying, while experience of working in multi-disciplinary teams and with volunteers would also be a plus.

At CrossReach, even though we’re one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social care charities – with a 1,600-strong team working across 60 services around the country – we genuinely value the individual. For our clients or services users, that means being treated with respect and care, regardless of the circumstances. For professionals like you, it means being part of a genuinely caring environment where you can contribute ideas, have your needs recognised and help shape your role around your ambitions.

In exchange, as well as a competitive salary, you’ll have a generous pension, health benefits, paid holiday and access to a range of retail and leisure discounts. In addition, we offer flexible working patterns where possible, access to clinical supervision and a programme of specialist therapeutic training. So, if you’re looking for a supportive career, we’re looking for you.

Here at Bellfield in Banchory, 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.

You’ll keep everything running smoothly, making sure that our positive multi-disciplinary team continues to work closely together. There’s opportunity to bring in new ideas here, so your day-to-day focus will involve everything from keeping an open door for our team and listening to our residents, to contributing to wider organisation strategy.

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.

Playing a game, eating lunch together, visiting a beach. They’re everyday things. But in this job, they’re powerful tools: for building trust, creating memories and improving young lives. Because the children in our care have faced more challenges than most, and it’s our job to help them realise their potential and integrate back into their communities.

Here, at CrossReach’s residential service, children live in small community houses and learn at a new purpose-built school, all supported by caring professionals like you. It’s a place made with positive experiences and clear structure in mind – somewhere to heal in time, grow as individuals and succeed in the future.

Which makes this a job with incredible impact. As a Lead Practitioner, you’ll undertake key-worker responsibilities that include assessing needs, creating and maintaining care plans and identifying strategies for positive outcomes. As part of a close-knit team, you’ll take a ‘whole-child’ approach – focusing on everything from completing everyday tasks to improving relationships

As well as plenty of empathy and a patient, caring approach, you’ll need an HNC in Social Care and SVQ Level 3 qualification, as well as experience in a care/education role and a full driving license. Counselling skills and a Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy [DDP] Level 1 qualification or equivalent would also be an advantage.

Even though CrossReach is one of Scotland’s largest social care organisations with services across the country, we genuinely value the individual. For the children here, that means being treated with respect, whatever the circumstances. For professionals like you, it means being part of an environment where you can contribute ideas, have your needs recognised and achieve your ambitions.
