FVSC is looking for a new Social Groups and Activities Coordinator. The Centre, a registered charity based in Camelon, Falkirk, has been helping people with sight and hearing loss, of all ages, across Forth Valley for almost 20 years.
The role of Social Groups and Activities Coordinator is a vital one as it is at the very heart of the charity’s mission. FVSC is unique, providing social groups and activities to encourage people who are blind or have sight loss and people who are deaf or have hearing loss to build confidence and live as independently as possible. Our range of over 30 social groups and activities is designed to help people build friendships and to reduce social isolation and loneliness.
This is a challenging but very rewarding position with a well-established charity. It is also a very exciting time for our Charity as thanks to generous funding from The National Lottery Community fund, we are starting to expand our social groups across Forth Valley to include Stirling and Clackmannanshire.
We are looking for a confident, sociable, enthusiastic and imaginative people-person with great organisational skills and a “can-do” attitude. If you are solution-focused, creative and willing to work as part of a team then we are very interested in hearing from you. Knowledge and understanding of sensory loss conditions is desirable, however training can be provided for the right candidate.
A PVG check is required for this post, along with a Right to Work in the UK check.

Working in Care and Support Services
Would you like to make a difference to a person’s quality of life? Would you like to learn BSL while being paid? We are looking for caring and motivated staff to support deaf BSL users to join our team. Could that be you?
Who are we?
Deaf Action is a deaf-led charity, supporting and celebrating deaf people. We were established in 1835 and work with deaf people across Scotland and the South of England. Our work is geared towards empowering all deaf people to achieve their potential and fully participate in society, with equality of rights, access, and opportunity.

About you
We are looking for people who are caring, fun, motivated, willing to learn and show initiative. The people we support want our team to be friendly, reliable and practical.
If you have experience in supporting people in their own homes, tenancies, or a care home setting, that is beneficial. If you do not, we can provide training. We always provide on the job and formal training, and our workers often go on to complete formal qualifications in social care. If you already have knowledge of BSL that is a bonus, however we can provide training if you do not.
The ideal candidates will be fully committed to our values, which can be found on our website.
The role
We have varied roles within our Care and Support Services such as Care at Home support worker, Outreach Support worker in our services in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Glasgow; as well as Care and ancillary positions at our Care Home at Isle of Wight.
You will be delivering a person-centred service supporting deaf people within our services. This will enable them to fully participate in the decisions affecting their lives, ensuring that wherever possible, service users benefit from informed choice, control, and independence. This will include both activities in the care home, in their own home and within the community which will promote independence and social inclusion.
What do we offer?
Do you have a passion for helping people?
Do you have excellent communication?
Do you have the ability to drive high performing teams whilst ensuring a high-quality service, delivering excellent customer service to our clients?
Do you want to work for one of the best employability providers in Scotland?
Would you like to contribute to helping people with barriers to work find their dream job?
Then come and work for Enable Works.

We offer flexible working practices that promote a strong work/life balance so that when you are at work you can be the best version of you.
