Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA) is recruiting for our Steps to Recovery Project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

The Steps to Recovery Project offers a programme of groups and events each week to provide members of the DACA recovery community with diversion, routine, stimulation, social connection and fun.

How would you like to spend your Mondays fishing on the beach, your Wednesdays hosting a slap-up social dining event and your Fridays getting your hands dirty in the garden? DACA offers these activities and much more through our Steps to Recovery project, and now we’re looking for the right person to lead up this workstream for the next five years. Unlike with our fishing group, there’s no catch. It’s a great job and you’ll be supporting a great bunch of people who are working on healing the harms that alcohol has brought to their lives.

So, if you’re a compassionate, motivated, hands-on group leader, then why not drop us a line.

The candidate should have previous experience of managing, monitoring and evaluating a project, and strong communication skills. An appropriate qualification in addictions or the health and social care sector is preferred. This post is funded for 5 years.

We are looking for applicants who are dynamic and flexible team workers, and who have experience of working with people with complex needs, preferably in a community-based alcohol service setting. Compassion, empathy and a non-judgemental attitude are essential.

Every day people with chest, heart and stroke conditions are leaving hospital scared and alone. You can be part of our mission to make sure that there is no life half lived in Scotland.

By joining Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland (CHSS) as a Community Support Services Co-ordinator you can be the difference between people just surviving and really living.

You will be part of Scotland’s leading charity providing support to people with chest, heart and stroke conditions to live life to the full again.

We are looking for a Community Support Services Coordinator to join our amazing team in the Lothian area. This role is focused on making sure that people affected by chest, heart and stroke conditions get the help they need and get back to doing the things that matter to them.

Through our Community Support Services, you will support people to have the confidence and tools to self-manage their health condition and live as independently as possible. You’ll also help people get back to doing the things that are important to them – from simple things like walking to their local shop following a stroke, to returning to a sky-high hobby of gliding!

You’ll be directly involved in supporting people with chest, heart and stroke conditions through both one-to-one and group services in both community and hospital settings. You’ll work with the rest of the Community Support Services team in Lothian, and manage a team of incredible volunteers, to make a real difference to the lives of people with our conditions.

Candidates don’t need to have medical knowledge as training is provided on our health conditions. We are looking for someone with a positive attitude towards people with disabilities and long-term conditions; an understanding of the challenges faced by people with chest, heart and stroke conditions including Long Covid; an understanding of community service provision; the ability to recruit, manage and motivate a team of volunteers; and excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

At Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland, our mission is to ensure there’s No Life Half Lived in Scotland – and you can be a vital part of that. We are Scotland’s leading organisation for person-centred, user-led community support for people with our health conditions.

Applicants must have a car and a current valid driving licence (expenses are paid at mileage rate).

CHSS also supports flexible recruitment through Working Families and we are “Happy to Talk Flexible Working”.

In line with our commitment to safeguarding, this role is subject to a PVG check. CHSS is committed to equality of opportunity and to providing a service which is free from unfair and unlawful discrimination. We therefore aim to ensure that no applicant, volunteer or member of staff is unfairly treated on the grounds of offending background.

The Community Link Worker will be fully integrated in day-to-day work of the practice staff to inform and provide community connections to service users; will be supported by the CTSI/ SVE; and will work with local volunteer Community Health Champions.

The Community Links Workers will help people to access the wide range of local support provided by Third Sector organisations, helping them to reconnect and understand how they can improve and sustain their own health and wellbeing.
