Are you passionate about inclusive communities?

We support people with a learning disability or autism to build friendships to live their life well. To make this happen we have a network of volunteers who make an extraordinary difference helping to reduce loneliness and improve social connections.

Our project in Glasgow works exclusively with autistic people. Previous knowledge of autism would be useful but is not essential as you will work closely with our Autism Link Worker. We are looking for a Project Coordinator who is enthusiastic about making a positive contribution and willing to work alongside autistic people to help make communities work better for their individual needs.

There are additional difficulties many autistic people face in becoming socially included. The successful candidate will value small breakthroughs as meaningful triumphs. You will help to transform the lives of autistic people to live more independently, enjoy a better quality of life and play an active role in their community.

Can you

· Demonstrate commitment to volunteering and understanding of its potential?

· Nurture engagement and enthusiasm in volunteers?

· Communicate empathetically and connect easily to others?

· Relish the challenge of finding creative solutions?

· Show determination to make a lasting difference to people?

Do you have experience in making projects happen and bringing out the best in volunteers?

Then we want to hear from you!

The Supported Housing Worker role requires assisting in the management of the development thus ensuring the tenants are able to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in an environment which is clean, safe and friendly. You will be responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the tenants and for assisting them in maintaining their independence.

As housing care worker your role will involve working with our tenants to ensure they receive the support and personal care identified in their care plans. You will directly support tenants in their homes by providing individual advice, practical housing support assistance and personal care.

Both roles are to ensure that we are able to offer the best service to our tenants and make it possible for our tenants to continue enjoying as much independent living as they’re able.

As well as a competitive annual salary, our valued team also benefits from:

competitive hourly rates of £9.00 - £9.47 per hour;

guaranteed rota hours working between 7.30 am & 10pm

generous annual leave entitlement;

a choice of pension scheme with employer contributions;

flexible working policies;

access to extensive paid training and development opportunities; and

a supportive and inclusive culture.

We also have opportunities with our Trust Staff Agency - for employees who want to work across different locations, in various roles, with highly flexible hours to suit family commitments - it's a great opportunity with the same training and development that our other roles benefit from.

Previous experience working in social care or the housing sector would be an advantage but this is not always necessary. Our ideal candidate is someone with enthusiasm, a caring nature and willingness to learn as full training, support and ongoing development will be provided.

Thenue Housing Association is based in Glasgow and provides high quality housing to over 3,000 tenants and owners in six areas, mainly in the east end of the city. We have always gone beyond our core housing responsibilities to address the wider needs of our communities and are currently recruiting a Project Worker for our Choices for Change project.

We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated individual from a community development background to support the Project Coordinator in delivering Choices for Change. The project supports people who are lonely and socially isolated and is built around a 10 week personal development course delivered in partnership with Glasgow Kelvin College.

Responsibilities include delivering life-skills training to course participants as well as assisting in the recruitment of course participants, assessment of training needs and project monitoring. An additional responsibility will be enabling participants to shape course content to match their needs and aspirations.

You will have relevant community development experience, preferably gained in a similar environment, have excellent communication skills and the ability to manage your own workload. You will have a full current driving licence.

In return, we offer an excellent package including a competitive salary, a Defined Contribution Pension Scheme, 25 days annual leave plus 15 public holidays pro-rata.

Thenue aims to be an equal opportunities employer.
