A fantastic opportunity has become available within the Fundraising & Engagement Team to deliver significant income from two key income streams and sustain our mission to ensure nobody faces dementia alone.

The Fundraising & Engagement Coordinator will report to the Fundraising & Engagement Leader, contributing to the delivery of our strategic objectives.

Whilst the role will work collaboratively to support all income streams, we are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has prior Corporate Partnership and/or Major Donor experience.

We are looking for someone who is naturally optimistic and empathetic, with a can-do attitude. You will be a self-starter, comfortable working independently, who thrives on building meaningful relationships. Applicants should enjoy and have a track record of working in a fast-paced and varied environment.

Successful applicants will have a positive attitude towards dementia, along with excellent communication skills and a caring manner. A pro-active approach to learn and participate in training will also be expected.

We have two varied and interesting roles as Casework Officers for the right candidates to join our team on a full-time basis.

The role involves undertaking a range of administrative activities which will contribute to the fulfilment of the Commission’s duty to monitor the operation of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003.

Are you looking for a role where you can truly make a difference to young people’s lives? We are recruiting a Young Persons Support Worker to join our Routes team. This post supports the delivery of Scottish Families ‘Routes’ Young Persons Project, working alongside young people in East and West Dunbartonshire, to provide a programme of support for 12-26 year olds affected by family alcohol and drug use. The post operates as part of the Routes team led by a Senior Family Support Development Officer and supported by two Development Officers and one other Support Assistant.

The post is predominantly located in East Dunbartonshire but will involve travel throughout both East and West Dunbartonshire for weekly groups and activities. Some home working is involved. Due to the nature of this post, access to a car is essential. There will be a close working relationship with young people, schools and other local partner agencies in East and West Dunbartonshire.

You will play an integral part in creating a supportive and nurturing environment for young people, helping them to thrive in all aspects of their lives. Routes is co-produced in collaboration with the young people we support, so their views are central to everything we do. The Routes model encourages young people to have hope and aspirations. We provide person-centred support which combines one-to-one and/or group support, helping them to build a positive future.

Alongside advocacy and one-to-one support, we also offer a busy programme of activities and groups. We are looking for an enthusiastic and innovative person to join our team.

We are seeking applicants who are educated to HNC level, have a vocational qualification (level 3) or relevant experience, along with an understanding of emotional and developmental issues for children and young people. We are seeking someone who can build rapport, positively engage and support young people, as well as having the ability to listen and talk to young people from differing abilities, understanding and backgrounds. Experience of identifying and managing risk and of delivering group work activities, along with knowledge of issues for young people affected by family substance use and an understanding of child protection issues and safeguarding practice, are an advantage.

This is a full-time role, but job share, part-time or flexible working will be considered.
