Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. Our aim is to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. We provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, we campaign for the rights of people with dementia and fund vital dementia research.

We are committed to improving the lives and opportunities of people living with dementia, their carers, partners, and families as their journey transitions from the first point of contact through to end of life. We believe nobody should face dementia alone.

Are you a self-starter? Are you confident, innovative and collaborative?

If yes, then this may be the role for you.

We are looking for a Community Activity Organiser for the Fife area. You will establish a range of community activities and opportunities across the locality that fill identified gaps and meet the needs of people living with dementia and their families/carers.

The successful applicant will have a positive approach to dementia. You will be flexible, inclusive, creative, and organised in your approach.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and experienced manager to oversee the day-to-day management of Cruse Scotland East Area, this includes our teams in Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perth & Kinross and the Tayside and Fife Walk & Talk Groups and Cruse Scotland Alternative Pathways support.

Candidates are required to have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to provide volunteer managerial support, which is often provided from a distance.

Excellent communication skills are essential as the postholder is required to respond effectively to a wide range of enquiries which include bereaved people. You will be required to establish effective working relationships with a range of Cruse Scotland volunteers and staff, as well as funders and partnership organisations. Experience in volunteer management would be advantageous.

Due to the geographical spread of the role, from time to time the postholder will be required to travel to each of the service bases within the East Area; and to other locations within Scotland for meetings and training.

Whilst the role is hybrid, we have an office base in Perth so there will be a regular requirement to have a routine presence in the office.

About Cruse Scotland: We are Scotland’s leading bereavement charity, providing bereavement support to anyone in Scotland who needs us. Bereavement is often one of the toughest experiences that people will face in their lifetime and for some it can be truly debilitating and completely overwhelming. The range of support we offer includes our helpline, instant web-based support, individual and group counselling support, children and young people’s services, training to workplaces and more. See our website crusescotland.org.uk for more information.

The most remarkable thing about Cruse Scotland is the fact that our client services are delivered purely by a volunteer workforce - who are all trained to professional standards. It’s fair to say that their motivation and commitment is contagious, and as such, we value their contributions highly.

Our volunteer workforce of 250 people are located in communities across Scotland and are supported by a small but mighty staff team of 18, the majority of whom are employed part time. The staff team comprise a mix of roles and talents and share a similar passion for the work of Cruse Scotland. The staff team connects fortnightly to ensure a real sense of community and good relationships across the team.

Feedback from our staff satisfaction survey included:

“I haven't been here long, but I can confidently say Cruse Scotland is one of the best organisations I have worked for, both from work and flexibility and overall organisation support from all staff and management”

“I find Cruse Scotland to be a very inclusive organisation with a great ethos, responsive to staff and volunteers”

Are you enthusiastic about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

• Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
• Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
• Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
• Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives.

The Service

Our Older Persons' Service addresses loneliness and social isolation among older people through volunteer befriending, social cafes, and our Help to Stay at Home service.

The Job

The Older Persons Service promotes social inclusion opportunities for isolated and lonely vulnerable older people, by providing 1:1 support in people’s own homes. Many of these older people have a dementia diagnosis and the regular contact that this service will bring will make a real difference to their day-to-day life. Older people will ideally benefit emotionally through shared interests and experiences with their matched staff member and also through practical assistance, such as help with transport to Health Services, including GP, dentist and hospital appointments, collection of prescriptions, support to attend appointments, shopping trips and social outings.

The purpose of the job is to provide this much-needed light touch support to our elderly service users while working closely with the project workers and volunteers to support the people who receive our services to become engaged and included within their communities.

The Older Person Service provides this support across Fife; this role will initially, but not permanently, focus on meeting the needs of service users in the Levenmouth area.

About You

You will have good computer skills and the ability to use technology efficiently to maintain and update records, combined with a knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting older people, including dementia. The successful candidate will be able to work openly and honestly in a team setting and have the ability to prioritise their own caseload.
