Do you want to play a key role in shaping a new project supporting people at risk of homelessness in a hospital setting?

If so, this role could be for you!

About the project

The Hospital Inreach service is part of a 12-month pilot across Forth Valley. You will be working with people experiencing homelessness who are admitted to Forth Valley Royal Hospital. The project supports people to complete courses of treatment within hospital and to plan for a discharge into accommodation that suits their needs and aids their recovery.

We are recruiting two 20-hour posts to deliver this pilot project, which replicates a service we have successfully run in Edinburgh for several years.

A quote from someone who used our Edinburgh service:

“You literally saved my life, I was sitting in my bed thinking I have nowhere to stay, and when they tell me to leave I will be on the streets in winter and won’t survive the cold or I would have to start using again and that would be it for me. Then you came into the ward to offer your service and it was like being sent an Angel to look out for me”

About the role

Working alongside clinicians in the hospital settings, you will provide one-to-one person-centred support to people in hospitals. You will work with individuals to enable them to identify housing options, personal outcomes and priorities for their health and wellbeing and link them to local support services and activities.

About you

You will have experience supporting individuals with complex social and emotional circumstances, as well as a solid understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness. You will apply strong interpersonal skills to deliver effective one-to-one support as well as manage relationships with multiple partner agencies across Forth Valley.

You will genuinely believe partnership working is key in supporting the people we work with. You will be resilient and perform effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

How we will support you

We will empower you to bring creative and innovative approaches to your work, encouraging you to explore new ideas and adapt your practice to best support the people you work with.

Your contribution will play a meaningful role in shaping service improvements and influencing wider systems change across the health and Social Care Sector.

You will also benefit from the full range of Cyrenians support, including our comprehensive training programme and dedicated staff wellbeing services.

About us

At Cyrenians we tackle the causes and consequences of homelessness. We understand that there are many routes into homelessness, and that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to supporting people towards more positive and stable futures. That’s why all our work is values-led and relationships-based.

About Us

Since 1948, Glasgow’s Golden Generation (GGG) — formerly the Glasgow Old People’s Welfare Committee — has been one of the city’s leading charities supporting older adults. Founded to tackle loneliness and isolation in the aftermath of the Second World War, the charity has continued to evolve to meet the changing needs of Glasgow’s older population. Today, GGG provides a wide range of essential services that promote wellbeing, independence, and dignity for people aged 55 and over.

We currently operate from two key hubs: the David Cargill Centre in Battlefield, which supports older adults across all four quadrants of Glasgow, and the more recently integrated Fraser Centre in Milngavie, extending our reach into East Dunbartonshire. Together, these hubs deliver a variety of day services, befriending programmes, welfare and health support, and digital inclusion initiatives to over 2,000 older adults every year.

In addition, we support more than 500 members across 18 older adult–led clubs, all which affiliate to our charity and benefit from our tailored support, both within our hubs and directly in their local communities. We also collaborate closely with third-sector organisations, housing associations, NHS services, and community partners that share our commitment to improving the lives of older adults.

Our Generation 2030 Strategic Plan outlines a clear ambition: to create age-friendly communities and opportunities across Glasgow by taking our services directly into neighbourhoods, reducing barriers to access, and ensuring that every older adult can stay active, informed, and socially connected. This includes developing smaller community-based programmes, strengthening our partnerships, and tailoring our support to meet the unique needs of each area.

The Welfare Rights Advisor role is central to achieving this vision. Working alongside our wider Welfare Team, the postholder will provide practical financial guidance and welfare support to older adults in the community — helping them access unclaimed benefits, manage household costs, and maintain their independence. The role also supports the delivery of our Making Homes Safer initiative, which identifies potential safety concerns in older people’s homes and ensures appropriate referrals and interventions are made.

By working closely with older adults in their own homes and communities, the Welfare Rights Advisor will play a vital role in promoting financial stability, wellbeing, and safety — directly contributing to GGG’s goal of empowering older people to live fulfilling, dignified lives within strong, inclusive communities, while expanding our reach and deepening our local impact.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and compassionate Welfare Rights Advisor to join our established Welfare Team. This post is offered on a fixed-term contract of 18 months, with a strong likelihood of extension, as the project has been successfully funded and delivered for several years.

The Welfare Team supports approximately 400 older adults each year, helping them to access an average of £1.4 million in unclaimed benefits annually — transforming financial security, independence, and wellbeing for some of Glasgow’s most vulnerable citizens.

Based primarily at the David Cargill Centre in Battlefield, with regular work at the Fraser Centre in Milngavie and throughout the wider community, you will play a key role in ensuring older adults receive the financial support and advice they are entitled to.

A driving licence is essential, as much of this work involves community visits and outreach.

The Benefits

• Pay progression scale that is reviewed every 12 months.

• Full induction and ongoing training in welfare rights and related areas.

• Hybrid working.

• Regular supervision and opportunities for continued professional development.

• Access to the charity’s Sick Pay Scheme after one year of continuous service.

• An additional day of leave each year to celebrate your birthday.
