Charity registered in Scotland SC022596
Fife Forum was established in 1990 as Fife Elderly Forum Executive. This was the umbrella organisation for elderly fora in Fife giving information and advice on older people's issues.
Over time we introduced an advocacy service. This assists people aged over 65 who are in hospital or resident in care settings. 2009 saw the introduction of User Panels. In 2011 we introduced Local Area Co-ordination for older people in Fife. With the commencement of the integration of health & social care this has been extended to include a service for adults.
You will be joining a Fife-wide charity, with a big reach, to support and develop both existing Forums and new platforms which aim to afford Older People the opportunity to participate, engage, influence and shape the issues and agendas that matter to them.
- Are you able to evidence experience of planning and delivering group advocacy or action groups which support people being heard?
- Are you able to self-motivate and work with a degree of autonomy to manage your workload safely and efficiently within a prescribed framework?
- Are you passionate about working to promote inclusion and engagement, particularly for Older People?
- Are you able to effectively record and report on your work activity which includes the use of IT software and systems?
- Do you possess the creativity, energy and commitment required to work with a broad spectrum of people, some of whom might be vulnerable and/or experiencing challenging circumstances?
If you feel you are up to this challenge, we want to hear from you.
