Join GCIL and Make a Difference!

At the GCIL (Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living), we empower disabled people with the information, skills, and support they need to lead independent lives and participate fully in society.

As a disabled-people-led organisation, we centre lived experience and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality services that make a real impact in our communities.

Why Work With Us?

• Meaningful Impact: Your work will make a tangible difference, helping disabled people of all ages to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
• Personal Connections: You’ll work one-to-one with people, building strong and rewarding relationships.
• Autonomy and Responsibility: Manage your own caseload, supporting people to make choices that work best for them.
• Professional Growth: We’ll support your development and give you opportunities to grow your skills and experience in a values-led environment.

As an Inclusive Living Disability Adviser, you will:

• Provide information, guidance, and support to people in receipt of Direct Payments (DPs), the Independent Living Fund (ILF), or Individual Budgets (IBs).
• Help individuals assess their needs, explore options, and put support arrangements in place.
• Support people with planning, financial monitoring paperwork, and recruiting/managing their own staff where needed.
• Liaise with other organisations and provide referrals to ensure service users get the right support.
• Deliver advice and training to individuals, families, and carers on self-directed support.
• Promote awareness of independent living through talks, presentations, and meetings.

This is a rewarding role where you will play a vital part in empowering disabled people to take control of their lives and remain independent in their own homes.
