Health All Round is dedicated to enhancing the health and wellbeing of people living in South West Edinburgh. Our Action for Pain programme supports individuals with chronic pain by helping them better understand their condition and explore practical, effective strategies to manage and improve their symptoms.

We are seeking a compassionate and enthusiastic Project Worker to develop and coordinate an inclusive Peer Community Network, bringing together people with shared experiences to connect, support one another and build stronger community relationships.

You will create opportunities for people to share experiences, reduce isolation, build confidence and use their lived experience, skills and knowledge to support themselves and others.

The role will involve recruiting and supporting volunteers and peer supporters, organising peer support sessions and creating safe, welcoming spaces that encourage connection and participation.

You will build relationships with local healthcare providers, community organisations and referral partners, helping individuals access appropriate support and resources.

You will also provide guidance and ongoing support to volunteers, encourage peer leadership, maintain accurate records and work closely with the wider HAR team to promote the value of peer support and strengthen community connections.

If you would like the application in an alternative format, require reasonable adjustments for the interview process, or wish to make an informal enquiry, please contact Kirsten Marwick on 0131 337 1376 or at kirsten@healthallround.org.uk.

Support Choices is a small charity based in Perth & Kinross, Scotland. We exist to ensure that some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, older adults, disabled individuals, and unpaid carers have the care and support they need to live life on their own terms. We provide independent advice, advocacy, and practical help to people navigating the complexities of social care and Self-Directed Support (SDS).

The main responsibility of the Community Broker’s post is to provide independent support and advice about Self Directed Support (SDS) and social care to those who need it. To help people and carers make informed decisions and plans for their social care and to maximise their choice and control over those arrangements.

Further to these key elements, Community Broker will contribute to the ongoing development and implementation of projects within the organisation, as well as playing a proactive role in their own development.
