About Us
Since 1948, Glasgow’s Golden Generation (GGG) — formerly the Glasgow Old People’s Welfare Committee — has been one of the city’s leading charities supporting older adults. Founded to tackle loneliness and isolation in the aftermath of the Second World War, the charity has continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of Glasgow’s older population. Today, GGG provides a wide range of essential services that promote wellbeing, independence, and dignity for people aged 55 and over.
We currently operate from two key hubs: the David Cargill Centre in Battlefield, which supports older adults across all four quadrants of Glasgow, and the more recently integrated Fraser Centre in Milngavie, extending our reach into East Dunbartonshire. Together, these hubs deliver a variety of day services, befriending programmes, welfare and health support, and digital inclusion initiatives to over 2,000 older adults every year.
In addition, we support more than 500 members across 18 older adult–led clubs, all which affiliate to our charity and benefit from our tailored support, both within our hubs and directly in their local communities. We also collaborate closely with third-sector organisations, housing associations, NHS services, and community partners that share our commitment to improving the lives of older adults.
Our Generation 2030 Strategic Plan outlines a clear ambition: to create age-friendly communities and opportunities across Glasgow by taking our services directly into neighbourhoods, reducing barriers to access, and ensuring that every older adult can stay active, informed, and socially connected. This includes developing smaller community-based programmes, strengthening our partnerships, and tailoring our support to meet the unique needs of each area.
The Welfare Rights Advisor role is central to achieving this vision. Working alongside our wider Welfare Team, the postholder will provide practical financial guidance and welfare support to older adults in the community — helping them access unclaimed benefits, manage household costs, and maintain their independence. The role also supports the delivery of our Making Homes Safer initiative, which identifies potential safety concerns in older people’s homes and ensures appropriate referrals and interventions are made.
By working closely with older adults in their own homes and communities, the Welfare Rights Advisor will play a vital role in promoting financial stability, wellbeing, and safety — directly contributing to GGG’s goal of empowering older people to live fulfilling, dignified lives within strong, inclusive communities, while expanding our reach and deepening our local impact.
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Welfare Rights Advisor to join our established Welfare Team. This post is offered on a fixed-term contract of 18 months, with a strong likelihood of extension, as the project has been successfully funded and delivered for several years.
The Welfare Team supports approximately 400 older adults each year, helping them to access an average of £1.4 million in unclaimed benefits annually — transforming financial security, independence, and wellbeing for some of Glasgow’s most vulnerable citizens.
Based primarily at the David Cargill Centre in Battlefield, with regular work at the Fraser Centre in Milngavie and throughout the wider community, you will play a key role in ensuring older adults receive the financial support and advice they are entitled to.
A driving licence is essential, as much of this work involves community visits and outreach.
For a full outline of the role and person specification, please refer to the Job Description attached to this advert.
The Benefits
• Pay progression scale that is reviewed every 12 months.
• Full induction and ongoing training in welfare rights and related areas.
• Hybrid working.
• Regular supervision and opportunities for continued professional development.
• Access to the charity’s Sick Pay Scheme after one year of continuous service.
• An additional day of leave each year to celebrate your birthday.

About Us
We are Right There, a charity that recently celebrated our 200th anniversary. We provide tailored support for people, at home, and in the community. We are here for people who are living with the effects of homelessness, poverty, substance use, or family breakdowns.
Last year we supported almost 4,000 individuals, helping to prevent them from becoming homeless or separated from the people they love. Every person’s story is unique, and everyone’s route home is different - it doesn’t matter what the situation is – we’re not here to judge, only to help.
Why?
Scotland’s health and social care systems impact on everyone’s lives at one time or another, and this could be your chance to get involved in improving the ways in which the public engages with these important services.
How?
The Scottish Health Council oversees the governance of the community engagement-related activities of the Healthcare Improvement Scotland, which has the responsibility for ensuring health boards and partnerships involve people and communities in planning their services. We are looking for a new Member to join the Scottish Health Council. This is a challenging, rewarding and worthwhile role that will give you the unique opportunity to help ensure future health and care services are informed and improved by meaningful engagement with the Scottish public, while also broadening your own skills and experience.
Can I apply?
Previous experience of non-executive positions is not required, nor is experience gained within health or social care. We really want to hear from people with practical experience of community engagement, who can demonstrate their understanding of the importance of engaging with people and communities in order to bring about positive developments at individual, local, regional or national levels. You also need to have a commitment to helping us improve the health and wellbeing of the Scottish people. If this is you, we would very much like to hear from you. If you are appointed, you will receive training and support to develop your skills and to learn any new skills you may require.
We particularly welcome applications from groups currently under-represented on the Scottish Health Council, such as those with a disability, those from minority ethnic communities, people aged under 50 years, and people from LGBT+ communities.
