Here at Oversteps in Dornoch 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, a healthcare scheme, sickness pay and a 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.

Who Cares? Scotland is the country’s only national independent, representative membership organisation for Care Experienced people. Our vision is of a Lifetime of Equality, Respect and Love for Care Experienced people.

The post holder will work directly with children and young people with experience of care primarily in an individual advocacy role. This means to listen to what they say and support them to ensure their voices are heard in the processes of making decisions about their lives. The responsibilities will include providing high quality independent advocacy, children’s rights and participation opportunities for children and young people who are care experienced. The post holder will play a role in facilitating a range of engagement opportunities, with both national and regional objectives, for collective advocacy. The post holder will also raise awareness of Who Cares? Scotland and the range of service and opportunities on offer amongst care experienced children and young people, professionals and carers.

The right candidate will have a relevant qualification, to a minimum HNC/SVQ 3 (SCQF level 7) in a discipline related to working with children and young people, or equivalent work experience. They will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal. They will be able to form positive working relationships with children and young people, and maintain links with professional partners. The right candidate will also have experience delivering training or engaging a range of audiences and working collaboratively. They will be committed to children’s rights, inclusive working, equal opportunities, and believe that young people can make transformative change happen in their lives if given the opportunity. A full driving licence is also required, due to the regional remit of the post.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Project Development Manager who will lead the development, implementation and evaluation of an exciting new partnership project to explore where ‘love’ and relationships sit within the care system and how guidance can be developed for workers and for key stakeholders.

The project partners are Aberlour Child Care Trust, Care Inspectorate, CELCIS and Includem. We believe that children and young people in care, have the right to live within a loving and nurturing environment. However, the notion of love has to some extent become mistrusted in the care sector and workers and key stakeholders alike can be uncertain about how it can most effectively be used to create a loving ear for children and young people in care. This work is supported with funding from the Life Changes Trust. The Trust is funded by the Big Lottery.

The project will run in two areas: Aberdeen and Fife. The Project Development Manager will work with two care experienced Project Development Assistants to carry out the work. The Project Development Assistants are likely to have had no or very limited work experience and, as such, you will play a signficant role in supporting them to undertake their role enabling them to enhance their future job opportunities.

As well as leading on development of the project, you will be responsible for developing appropriate means of recording and analysing the views and outcomes from the consultation work. You will also record and report on these views in a way that will enable the findings to be evaulated and implemented. Your work will link with that of the Care Inspectorate, the outcomes of the project will, in turn, link to inspections and Social Care Standards.

You will work to a Project Board comprising the partner organisations. This role is exciting and challenging, requiring you to balance your interpersonal skills with the need to secure the outcomes of the project. If you consider that you have the right mix of skills and knowledge to be able to undertake this role, we would like to hear from you. For an informal discussion in the first instance, please ring John Ryan on: 07854 958096.

The Volunteer Coordinator will develop volunteering opportunities across DWA services including befriending, peer mentoring, participation and additional activities for women, children and young people. The Volunteer Coordinator will also oversee the volunteer counsellors we currently have within DWA and develop placement opportunities for student counsellors. A large part of the role will relate to the NICE (Nurtured, Included, Complemented and Enhanced) project. This is a project which aims to ensure women are nurtured and included and that current services (1:1 time-limited support and group work for women in refuge and on outreach) are complemented and enhanced through the principles of self-help, mutual support and recovery. The NICE project will be led by the Volunteer Coordinator and consist of a number of volunteer-led services.

We have an exciting opportunity for an energetic and pro-active Volunteer Coordinator to join our Social and Practical Team and to assist the Senior Hit Squad Coordinator in delivering these services.

The Hit Squad service offers newly housed clients a volunteer led painting and decorating service and is delivered throughout Edinburgh.

We are currently recruiting 4 Regional Integration Co-ordinators (21.6 hours) to support the delivery of a new programme under the European Union Asylum, Migration & Integration Fund (AMIF).

The overall goals of the programme are that refugees are effectively integrated into Scottish society, are able to achieve their goals and have their needs met; while communities are supported and prepared to welcome refugees and involve them in community life.

The scope of the programme is Scotland-wide and we are looking to recruit a co-ordinator for each of the following regions:

• Central Scotland (Dundee City, Perth and Kinross, Angus, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, Stirling)

• Highlands, Islands & North East (Western Isles [Eilean Siar], Highland, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands, Moray, Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City)

• Borders (Dumfries and Galloway, Scottish Borders, South Ayrshire, East Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire)

• Edinburgh and East: (City of Edinburgh, Fife, Midlothian, East Lothian, West Lothian)

You will be working with refugee-led organisations, receiving communities and faith-based groups on a variety of projects as set out in the programme. We are looking for people with either a qualification in community development or equivalent experience; or a sound understanding of the principles and practice of community development - preferably with experience of working with refugees.

In addition to a friendly, dynamic and gregarious nature, you will need excellent communication skills - both verbal and written - and the flexibility and adaptability to meet evolving needs. Good team working skills are essential as you will be operating remotely from the programme, your manager and the other regional co-ordinators.

The role is a regional one requiring regular travel throughout a designated area of Scotland for which travel expenses will be paid. A valid driving license and a car are therefore essential.
