About you

Shared Care Scotland is a small team with big ambition: we aim to be the lead organisation in Scotland on all aspects of short breaks policy and practice. We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Operations Assistant to fulfil an important organisation-wide role in providing efficient, accurate and responsive administrative support that helps colleagues, Board members, partners and enquirers work effectively.

For the right candidate, this is an exciting opportunity to work with a dedicated team to deliver on a range of activities that can improve the lives of unpaid carers in Scotland.
In return we offer a supportive, collaborative team environment with excellent terms and conditions.
About Shared Care Scotland
Shared Care Scotland (SCS) is a dynamic and ambitious charity dedicated to improving the quality and provision of short breaks in Scotland for adult and young carers and the people they help care for. It is estimated there are 700,000 to 800,000 unpaid carers in Scotland.
We have a vision of a Scotland where everyone who receives support or provides unpaid care can live a satisfying life, with the assistance they need to take regular, quality breaks from demanding caring routines.
As one of Scotland’s leading National Carer Organisations we contribute to the development of policy and best practice for carers. We host a national online directory of short break services, manage a £10m Short Breaks Fund on behalf of the Scottish Government which provides grant funding to third sector organisations to help carers access breaks from caring, and deliver an innovative social tourism programme called Respitality.
