Charity registered in Scotland SC010100
Age Scotland is an independent charity working in Scotland dedicated to improving the later lives of everyone on the ageing journey.
Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. We work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life.
We support and enable hundreds of communities and older people’s groups across Scotland. We provide information, friendship and advice through our free helpline and publications. We tackle loneliness and isolation with our Friendship Line and much more.
We work in Scotland with older people’s groups who provide vital activities and services for older people in their local community. We campaign on the issues that older people tell us are important to them.
As the Volunteering Development Lead, you will lead the development and implementation of our volunteering strategy and frameworks. These will enable a structured, inclusive and supportive volunteer environment aligned with Age Scotland’s strategic goals.
A positive volunteer experience is vital, and you will support us to ensure that our volunteers are an integral part of the Charity, engaged with and recognised for the impact they have on our service delivery. Our aim is that our volunteers have positive experiences and can act as effective ambassadors for the charity.
This role will also involve extending the outreach of the Veterans Project training programme by engaging with new audiences who would benefit from participating.
The post will be hybrid, with some time in our office in Causewayside (Edinburgh) as well as home-working.
In return for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:
