Help Comrie participate and thrive

Comrie already benefits from people who give their time, skills and energy generously. We want to match that commitment with excellent volunteer support: a warm welcome, thoughtful organisation, clear communication and

recognition of the difference people make.

Help existing volunteers thrive and welcome new participants, particularly younger villagers. Working across Comrie and District, including Cultybraggan Camp, you will connect community priorities with people's interests and talents and help remove barriers to taking part.

• Listen to existing volunteers, recognise their contribution and match people to worthwhile projects that use their skills.
• Widen participation, including among younger villagers, and address practical barriers such as timing, access and confidence.
• Provide clear induction and support, keep useful records and mobilise volunteers around agreed community activities.

Build community involvement in heritage-led regeneration, consultation and fundraising, and volunteer teams for agreed income-generating activities. Begin with existing volunteers and one priority project, with named activity leaders.

You will be one of three complementary part-time roles, alongside heritage and business development colleagues.

You will lead volunteer support and matching, working to a small set of agreed priorities within 14 hours each week.

About you

You will be approachable, organised and good at bringing people together. We welcome experience from employment, volunteering or community involvement, especially supporting volunteers or coordinating group activities.

Clear communication, reliable follow-through and confidence keeping simple digital records are essential.

The postholder will be expected to operate in line with our values which are: justice, equity, trust, collaboration and compassion.

We are looking for people to join our relief pool who are passionate about supporting children and young people.

Work will be offered across our four residential houses in Fife – two of these are in Kirkcaldy, one in Dunfermline and one in Glenrothes.

Members of our relief pool have a varied range of backgrounds and often work in different areas of the workforce. Although experience in child-care is ideal, we would also like to hear from people who may have skills from their work experience in different sectors which would be transferrable and provide a good basis from which to learn and develop their skills, utilising the range of training we provide.

The Service

Fife Carers' Self-Help Project

The Carers’ Self-Help Project provides support in Fife for carers of children, young people, and adults with autistic spectrum conditions or with additional support needs who struggle with their own mental health. The service welcomes carers who have a loved one with a diagnosis and those who are on the diagnosis pathway.

This service offers up to six, free, one-hour 1:1 coaching sessions, teaching self-care techniques to manage any current difficulties clients are experiencing. Group sessions are also available.

Supported self-help is a short-term process which uses materials and techniques tailored to client’s needs. We use an approach which considers how stress makes people feel, think, and behave, and cope with the associated physical symptoms. This approach is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT.

The Job

The remit of this post is to provide stress support to parents, family members or any carer of an individual who has been diagnosed as or is pending a diagnosis of being on the autistic spectrum or with additional support needs using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based approach. This involves assisting people to access and use self help materials and signposting people to other relevant agencies when appropriate. You will need to develop and maintain respectful and empowering relationships with service users so that they feel valued and supported and in control of their own lives.

The post holder will work within our existing Self Help Team based at West Bridge Mill in Kirkcaldy, Fife. The post holder will be expected to meet with service users in various community sites throughout Fife and therefore flexibility to travel to these areas is essential.

About You

You are a compassionate and proactive individual with a strong understanding of the challenges faced by service users, particularly those who are excluded or marginalized. Your approach is person-centred, and you have a proven ability to build equal, respectful, and positive relationships with individuals and external agencies alike.

Empathy and active listening are central to how you support others, and you're sensitive and responsive to the emotional and social health needs of those you work with. You have experience working one-to-one, offering practical, tailored support, and you're familiar with self-help resources for carers of individuals with autism and additional support needs, with a clear commitment to promoting their use.

As a valued team member, you contribute actively to a supportive working environment. You are calm under pressure, able to problem-solve effectively during crises, and your communication skills are adaptable to a variety of situations.

Organised and reliable, you can collect data accurately and maintain detailed records. Your flexible and practical approach means you're ready to meet the changing needs of the role. A current driving licence and access to a roadworthy, reliable car allows you to support service users in a range of settings.
