- Closing 9th August 2024
Age Scotland is the national charity for older people. We work to improve the lives of everyone over the age of 50 so that they can love later life.
Our people are central to our success in delivering services for older people in Scotland. We pride ourselves on having a positive working environment and culture.
As the Head of Dementia, you will provide strategic leadership for Age Scotland’s dementia work, including (but not limited to):
• About Dementia Human Rights and community engagement work
• Dementia Friendly Communities including Network and Grants work
• Dementia training Team
Living our values, you will approach the role with integrity, while involving, inspiring, and empowering our teams, so that together we can create better outcomes for older people in Scotland.
The post will be Scotland-based, a blend of office (Edinburgh-based) and home working. In return for your hard work, enthusiasm and commitment to our values you’ll receive a generous benefits package:
• Generous holiday allowance of 39 days (FTE)
• A range of learning and development opportunities
• Company sick pay
• Healthcare benefit through Westfield Health
• Discounted gym membership
• Cashback scheme from major retailers
• Contributory pension scheme with employer contributions of 9%
• A comprehensive package of support though our Employee Assistance Programme
• Group life cover up to three times your annual salary
• Cycle to work scheme
• Paid carers leave and dependents’ support
• The option to buy more holidays or sell them
• Enhanced maternity and paternity policies.
The Chief Executive plays a key role in setting strategic direction with the organisation’s Board and in ensuring the organisation adheres to financial, legal and ethical guidelines and standards. The Chief Executive oversees planning and implementation of the Scottish Fair Trade Forum’s budgetary and financial management and its fundraising, communications and operational strategies. The Chief Executive of the Scottish Fair Trade Forum also acts as Chief Executive of the organisation’s trading subsidiary, Fair Change Co.
Location: There will be a number of agreed days (at least 10%) when the role-holder will be required to work from Scottish Fair Trade’s office in Glasgow with other members of the staff team and at other times will be able to work from home or in the office. Some travel around Scotland and on occasions to other parts of the UK and elsewhere to attend meetings etc. will be required.
CACE is a trusted community resource which has been operating in the Cumbernauld and Northern Corridor areas for over 30 years. We work to prevent loneliness and isolation, supporting older people and their carers to live well in the community on their own terms. We do this through a programme of activities, groups, and outings, door-to-door community transport, and a well-established befriending programme.
We are looking for someone meticulous, versatile and values-led to join us as Operations Manager. This role encompasses all aspects of charity management and is an exciting opportunity to help shape and deliver our strategy. The post may suit someone looking to expand their skillset and step into their first senior role, or someone already experienced, perhaps from another sector but with transferrable expertise that they’d like to bring to a small charity.
Working to support our CEO across all aspects of running the charity, the Operations Manager will have delegated responsibility for a range of key business areas, including finance, HR, governance, fundraising, and evaluation. The post requires significant adaptability but offers the right person a fulfilling and varied role that will include people management, coordinating co-design projects, securing major funding, developing new internal processes and contributing to strategic financial decision making. Although the postholder will have the opportunity to shape and develop the role, the initial focus areas will be finance and fundraising. As such, a good understanding of charity finances is essential, as is the ability to understand a potential funder’s requirements and write a compelling case for the work we do.
For more information on the role, please take a look at the application pack.
Location: Primarily office-based with attendance at external meetings and events. Occasional home-working may be available for specific pieces of work by prior agreement, but due to the size of our team and nature of our work, no roles at CACE are compatible with substantial home-working.
You will be joining a Fife-wide charity, with a big reach, to support and develop both existing Forums and new platforms which aim to afford Older People the opportunity to participate, engage, influence and shape the issues and agendas that matter to them.
- Are you able to evidence experience of planning and delivering group advocacy or action groups which support people being heard?
- Are you able to self-motivate and work with a degree of autonomy to manage your workload safely and efficiently within a prescribed framework?
- Are you passionate about working to promote inclusion and engagement, particularly for Older People?
- Are you able to effectively record and report on your work activity which includes the use of IT software and systems?
- Do you possess the creativity, energy and commitment required to work with a broad spectrum of people, some of whom might be vulnerable and/or experiencing challenging circumstances?
If you feel you are up to this challenge, we want to hear from you.
