Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time.

People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.

As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at whatever time of day.

We are seeking an organised, proactive and people-focussed HR Assistant to join our HR function at Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance. Working closely with the HR Officer and colleagues throughout the charity, the successful candidate will coordinate recruitment and onboarding activities, maintain HR systems and records, support payroll and learning and development processes, and help ensure our people practices remain compliant, efficient and aligned with our values.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop their HR career in a role that offers exposure across the full employee life cycle. You will play a key role in delivering an efficient and professional HR service, supporting colleagues and managers across the charity while helping to create a positive employee experience.

This role will be based in Perth, at Scone Airport. SCAA supports flexible and hybrid working arrangements—our current approach typically includes two office days per week for those working on a hybrid basis (pro-rata). This is a part-time position working 22.5 hours per week. We offer flexibility regarding the working pattern, which will be agreed with the successful candidate to support both individual and charity needs. Occasional visits to our Aberdeen base will be required.

Neuroinclusion is rising up the agenda for employers, community organisations, and public sector bodies that want to get it right for their staff and the people they serve. This is a key role in our Business Development team, leading Mindroom’s training and consultancy service, with real scope to build on strong foundations and grow it.

You will design and deliver engaging training online and in person, and provide consultancy on neuroinclusion in the workplace and in designing services for customers and service users. The focus is practical change: what an organisation does differently as a result, rather than awareness raising alone. You will also develop the offer, write proposals, lead corporate engagement, use our CRM to manage the pipeline, and implement monitoring and evaluation so we can show the difference the service makes.

You will bring a strong understanding of neurodivergence, neurodevelopmental conditions, and the neurodiversity movement; substantial experience designing and delivering training; and experience developing or growing a service.

This is a management role in a growing department with a busy and varied workload, so you will be comfortable working independently and shaping the service as it grows.

The role is hybrid, combining home working, attendance at our Edinburgh office and travel to deliver training and consultancy in person. Occasional evening work and overnight stays may be required.
