About Us

Finding Your Feet is Scotland’s only national amputee charity. We support families affected by amputation or limb absence with activities, services and support to benefit fitness, mental health and personal growth. Our goal is to be on hand with some form of support for every amputee in Scotland. The first step towards doing this is to connect people and make them smile, which we’re pretty good at! We believe that forming relationships with peers or being part of a group is one of the most powerful ways to reduce isolation, which has been proven to be a contributing factor to life expectancy in the amputee community. Whether an amputee needs vital counselling or wants to sail the seven seas, FYF is the place to be.

You would expect us to say this, but we actually do mean it - Finding Your Feet is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.

Purpose Of The Job

We are looking for a motivated and organised Corporate Fundraising Assistant to help us raise vital funds and awareness to continue our life-changing work. As a key member of the fundraising team you will have the opportunity to make this post your own as your skills and experience develop; being involved across all areas of fundraising but predominantly helping us to grow corporate & events income generation and ensuring effective donor stewardship.

Working closely with the Fundraising Manager, Fundraising Assistant and alongside our Marketing and Wellbeing teams, you will see the direct impact of your efforts within our friendly and fast -paced environment, making a real difference in the lives of amputees and their families.

LCIL is a user-led organisation providing a range of services that enable Disabled People to live independently in the community of their choice.

Would you like to make a difference to someone’s life?

We are currently looking for an PA Support Coordinator to support an established team whose joint approach is to provide an inclusive service for carers in all aspects of Independent Living.

Ideally, you will have experience and understanding of Self-Directed Support and have current experience of managing a caseload, working one-to-one with individuals including unpaid carers and disabled people.

After initial training in the office environment, this post will be a mix of office, home and outreach-based working. The post is part of a project in partnership with VOCAL (Voice of Carers Across Lothian) and will include regular meetings and close work alongside VOCAL colleagues.

Successful applicants subject to PVG.

We want you to succeed with your application to join LCiL.

To help you, we will provide the interview questions in advance to all shortlisted candidates.

We want to hear about all of the skills and experience you can bring to this role. The ability to 'think on your feet' can be useful but it is not always a primary function of a role. We believe it helps to be able to sit with information and take the time you need to think through your responses, examples, your skills and experience, so you can bring the best of yourself to your LCiL interview.

If you have any questions regarding the recruitment process, please contact Caitlin McPherson via HR@lothiancil.org.uk.
