FVSC is looking for a new Social Groups and Activities Coordinator. The Centre, a registered charity based in Camelon, Falkirk, has been helping people with sight and hearing loss, of all ages, across Forth Valley for almost 20 years.
The role of Social Groups and Activities Coordinator is a vital one as it is at the very heart of the charity’s mission. FVSC is unique, providing social groups and activities to encourage people who are blind or have sight loss and people who are deaf or have hearing loss to build confidence and live as independently as possible. Our range of over 30 social groups and activities is designed to help people build friendships and to reduce social isolation and loneliness.
This is a challenging but very rewarding position with a well-established charity. It is also a very exciting time for our Charity as thanks to generous funding from The National Lottery Community fund, we are starting to expand our social groups across Forth Valley to include Stirling and Clackmannanshire.
We are looking for a confident, sociable, enthusiastic and imaginative people-person with great organisational skills and a “can-do” attitude. If you are solution-focused, creative and willing to work as part of a team then we are very interested in hearing from you. Knowledge and understanding of sensory loss conditions is desirable, however training can be provided for the right candidate.
A PVG check is required for this post, along with a Right to Work in the UK check.
