We are seeking an innovative, motivated, compassionate and resilient Citizen Advocacy Co-ordinator to join our team.

In this role, you will support a number of Volunteer Citizen Advocates who have recently completed their volunteer training, offering them ongoing support & supervision and training. Citizen Advocacy encourages ordinary citizens to become involved with the welfare of those who might need support in their communities. It is based on trust between the person being supported and the citizen advocate.

This role is a fixed-term contract made possible by pilot funding from the Scottish Government. We are hopeful that further funding will be made available moving forward.

The role ensures advocacy relationships are safe, effective, independent, and person centred, while promoting choice, rights, and social inclusion.

We’re looking to match our Volunteer Citizen Advocates with advocacy partners living in the Perth city area aged over 65.

The Organisation

Independent Advocacy Perth & Kinross is a values-driven, rights-based organisation providing independent advocacy to individuals across Perth & Kinross. We support people to have their voices heard, their rights upheld, and to be fully involved in decisions affecting their lives. As an organisation, we are holders of hope and human rights defenders.

What We Offer

• A supportive and inclusive working and team environment.

• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities.

• Generous annual leave and benefits package.

• The chance to make a genuine difference in people’s lives.

People living with dementia who are also diagnosed with cancer face some of the starkest inequalities in Scottish health care. Serious symptoms get put down to dementia rather than investigated. Cancer is picked up late. Treatment decisions happen at speed, in unfamiliar settings, with little support to understand information or express what matters. We think communities can change that, and we are looking for the person to lead the work.

Meeting Centres Scotland is the national charity behind Scotland's network of Meeting Centres: welcoming, local places where people living with dementia and their families find support to adjust to change and keep living well in their communities. Our network has grown to around 47 centres across 17 local authority areas, reaching more than 1,000 people every month.

Cancer-ready Meeting Centres is a two year national project funded by Macmillan Cancer Support. Working alongside a lived experience advisory group of people with dementia who have been through cancer, and the family members who supported them, you will co-design training, practical tools and a standards framework that equip Meeting Centres to support people through diagnosis, treatment and beyond. You will build referral and liaison pathways with Health Boards, Health and Social Care Partnerships, Macmillan professionals and oncology teams, and lead a rights based influencing strand that puts diagnostic overshadowing and shared decision making on the agenda of cancer services and planners.

We are looking for an experienced project manager who is at home facilitating a room where people with dementia, family carers and clinicians sit as equal partners; who can hold a national, multi strand project together; and who believes that a dementia diagnosis should never be a barrier to good cancer care. Experience across both dementia and cancer is welcome but by no means required. Values, facilitation skill and delivery ability matter most.

We offer a salary of £39,000, 37 days of annual leave (inclusive of public holidays, rising with each full year of service up to 5 additional days), an 8% employer pension contribution, genuinely flexible home based working, and the chance to build something with UK-wide potential alongside a small, committed national team.

Ocean Youth Trust is seeking an enthusiastic and experienced Head of Income Generation to lead our fundraising and wider income generation team. This is an exciting opportunity to join a long-standing outdoor education charity to lead the development and delivery of an income generation strategy that will build on our sustainability and ensure we are delivering innovative and impactful outdoor education for young people in Scotland.

Ocean Youth Trust Scotland is a charity providing adventure and youth work on the waves for over 600 young people each year.

We’ve been operating for more than 25 years and provide a number of different programmes supporting learning and youth work outcomes. We are first and foremost a youth work organisation but delivering our programme at sea provides a challenging environment and accelerates impact for young people.

Are you passionate about providing excellent service and supporting customers to have smooth journeys? Do you want to be part of a leading Scottish environmental charity delivering solutions for low carbon living? We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to join our growing team as a Household Support Officer, supporting the delivery of energy efficiency upgrade projects across Scotland.

As Household Support Officer, you will assist householders who are having energy efficiency upgrades installed in their homes. From explaining the steps involved to resolving any complaints, your role will be to work with a range of stakeholders to ensure that householders receive excellent service throughout. You’ll have the ability to resolve problems, implement lessons learned and work across the team to support our range of projects. Ideally, you’ll have knowledge of the environmental sector, however having an excellent track record in customer service is really the key to this role.

You will be engaging with householders over the phone, by email and in person, in their homes and at events. The ability to travel to different sites across Scotland is an essential. The role will require occasional driving of fleet vehicles to attend sites throughout the South East of Scotland. If you do not currently have a full driver’s licence, in your application please highlight how you would achieve this.

Your nearest office will be in Edinburgh, and we encourage people to meet with colleagues regularly. We offer flexible working patterns to support your life outside work, with part time hours available (at a minimum of 21 hours per week).

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and we were nominated for employer of the year by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce this year. Our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits including flexible working, bike to work scheme, an excellent pension scheme and 26 days paid holiday plus 9 public holidays per year.

At Changeworks, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone.
