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.
Sadly, thousands of older people in Scotland feel lonely and isolated and we want you to help change that!
With responsibility for the day-to-day co-ordination of our friendship services which include Community Connecting, Friendship Line and Circles, you will help create a culture that promotes inclusion and diversity, flexibility and creativity.
People-centred, you will work closely with the friendship manager to deliver on our friendship strategy, attracting and retaining talented volunteers and creating an environment in which everyone feels valued and supported to do their very best.
Living our values, you will approach the role with integrity, while involving, inspiring and empowering our teams, so together we can create better outcomes for older people in Scotland.
The post will be Scotland-based, a blend of office-based (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 37 days (FTE) plus 2 fixed public holidays
• 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 dependants' support
• The option to buy more holidays or sell them
• Enhanced maternity and paternity policies.
Full details of the role are available from our website: age.scot/workforus. Alternatively, you can call 0333 323 2400.
