94% of our colleagues rate Age Scotland as a great place to work.

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.

People-centred, you will deliver a holistic information, advice and friendship service for older people in Scotland, their carers, families and professionals by telephone. Meeting the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers, you will act as champion on agreed subjects.
