Sadly, thousands of older people in Scotland feel lonely and isolated and we want you to help change that!

With responsibility for the day-to-day co-ordination of our telephone-based friendship services, you will help create a culture that promotes inclusion and diversity, flexibility, productivity, creativity, innovation and growth.

People-centred, you will work closely with the friendship manager and head of information, advice and friendship services to implement the friendship strategy to attract and retain talent and create an environment where staff and volunteers feel valued and supported to do their very best.

Living our values, you will approach the role with integrity, while involving, inspiring and empowering our teams, so together we can create better outcomes for older people in Scotland.

Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. We work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life.

We support and enable hundreds of communities and older people’s groups across Scotland. We provide information, friendship and advice through our free helpline and publications. We tackle loneliness and isolation with our Friendship Line and much more.

We work in Scotland with older people’s groups who provide vital activities and services for older people in their local community. We campaign on the issues that older people tell us are important to them.

We know that growing older doesn’t come with a manual. Later life can bring opportunities and challenges, and people may need to know about rights, organisations and services which are often unfamiliar. That’s why we provide free information and advice to support older people on a diverse range of topics.

You will lead on the day-to-day implementation, management, development and growth of our free confidential helpline for older people in Scotland, their families and carers.

Responsible for overall customer experience, case checking, call quality management and impact evaluation, you will ensure we meet our funding outcomes and the Scottish National Standards for Information Providers audit requirements.

Using a collaborative approach, you will work closely with the information manager and friendship manager to provide a holistic information, advice and friendship service which places older people at the centre of day-to-day delivery and strategic planning.

The role requires an element of practitioner hours and continuous professional development and therefore a minimum of 6 hours per week of telephone advice will be required on an ongoing basis.

Living our values, you will manage the helpline with integrity, while involving, inspiring and empowering your team, so together we can create better outcomes for older people in Scotland.

Age Scotland, the national charity for older people, works tirelessly to help improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50. Our vision is a Scotland that is the best place in the world to grow older and for us all to live the very best life we can in ‘later life’. We are dedicated to inspiring, advising, involving and engaging older people, and influencing all those whose decision-making impacts on the lives of older people. Age Scotland works in partnership with Age UK, based in London, although we are an independent charity with our own Board and executive team responsible for our work in Scotland.

The timing of new Trustees joining us could not be more important. We are currently thinking about how we evolve our strategy and approach to make us the most effective Scottish charity we can be, so we need people with the ambition and imagination to help us define and shape that future direction, and our priorities and goals, building on the exceptional contribution our team is already making to the lives of older people in Scotland.

We are recruiting four new Trustees as part of planned succession and to bring strength, expertise and engagement to our Board. We need people with knowledge and commitment and the drive and energy to be part of Age Scotland’s mission to serve older people. In particular, we are looking for Trustees with the following experience:

• finance, commercial or social enterprise
• knowledge of challenges facing older people or practitioner experience
• HR, change and transformation

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people who are currently under-represented within Age Scotland. We are also particularly interested in applications from people of all gender identities and sexual orientation. Our goal is to be a diverse board of Trustees where our Trustees have the opportunity to bring their valuable knowledge and perspective to our discussions.
