Your role will focus on delivering compelling communications and meaningful networking opportunities across the Forth Valley and National Park region, encouraging more people to live climate-friendly and healthier lives.

Introduction

Start Up Stirling is looking for a sessional counsellor to join our established community counselling service in Callander, delivered as part of a rural community hub.

The hub brings a range of services together in an accessible community setting, including the foodbank, Citizens Advice and a regular community lunch. Our counselling service has been running successfully for nearly two years and provides flexible emotional and psychological support to people who might otherwise experience barriers to accessing counselling.

About the role

Counselling is offered on a flexible, open-ended basis, rather than as a fixed number of sessions. The service combines pre-arranged appointments with opportunities for drop-in support, allowing the counsellor to respond to the needs and circumstances of individual clients.

The role is currently available for up to four hours per week and is paid at £35 per hour, plus agreed travel expenses.

This could particularly suit a counsellor seeking to develop their experience, or an established counsellor looking for a small number of additional hours and an opportunity to work within an innovative community-based model.

You will work alongside, and become part of, a welcoming multidisciplinary community hub while retaining appropriate professional boundaries and confidentiality around the counselling relationship.

We are looking for someone who:

• Is BACP registered, or registered with an equivalent recognised professional body
• Holds an appropriate recognised counselling or psychotherapy qualification
• Is able to work independently and maintain appropriate professional, ethical and safeguarding standards
• Is comfortable working flexibly, including with both appointments and drop-in clients
• Has an interest in working with people experiencing poverty, social disadvantage or other barriers to accessing traditional counselling services
• Is able to build relationships with colleagues and other services within a community setting
• Is committed to providing an inclusive, non-judgemental and accessible service

Experience of community-based counselling or working with people experiencing financial hardship would be helpful but is not essential as some training will be provided. We are open to applications from recently qualified practitioners who are interested in developing their practice in this area, provided they have some experience of working independently. All candidates must have appropriate external supervision arrangements in place.

What we offer

This is an opportunity to join an established service which takes a flexible approach to counselling, recognising that different things work for different clients at different times. You will have considerable autonomy in your work while being part of a wider community hub providing practical, social and emotional support.

Hours: Up to 4 hours per week, usually Wednesday, on a 12 month rolling contract.

Rate: £35 per hour

Expenses: Travel costs paid

Location: Callander

Contract: Sessional

We’re looking for a talented and enthusiastic Graphic Designer to join Volunteer Scotland on a fixed-term basis.

This is an exciting opportunity for a creative professional who can combine strong design skills with excellent communication, organisation and project management. You’ll lead, plan, create and ensure quality of a wide range of graphic design and creative communications materials across multiple media and visual identities.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Volunteer Scotland to turn ideas and complex information into engaging, accessible and visually compelling communications. From developing creative concepts and campaign materials to managing projects through design, print and production, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our communications are consistent, high quality and aligned with our strategic objectives.

As a member of a small and collaborative organisation, you’ll need to be flexible and willing to support a variety of projects as priorities evolve.

About you

You will be a creative and organised designer with strong experience across a range of media and a portfolio demonstrating high-quality work. You’ll be confident managing multiple projects, working with stakeholders and external suppliers, and taking creative work from initial brief through to completion.

You’ll be collaborative, adaptable, solutions-focused and committed to Volunteer Scotland’s CARES values and behaviours.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your creative skills to support meaningful communications and contribute to Volunteer Scotland’s strategic priorities.
