Carers of West Dunbartonshire is an innovative and value-based charity, which supports those over 18 years who look after a family member or friend due to illness, disability, frailty or addiction. This exciting new post is funded in part by the Time to Live Short breaks Fund.

As the Short breaks Co-ordinator you will develop and manage the organisation’s Short breaks and Respitality service. You will be a highly motivated individual who, ideally has experience in Community Care and a good understanding of the issues relating to unpaid adult carers.

North Lanarkshire Carers Together is looking for a proactive and dynamic Administrator to provide essential support to our staff, Board, and projects. This role involves general administration, reception duties, financial processing, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. You will be the first point of contact for carers and professionals, manage records, coordinate meetings, and support key events such as Carers Week and the AGM. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks are essential. Experience in financial administration and working with confidential information is desirable.

Working alongside our dynamic team

North Lanarkshire Carers Together offer staff an attractive benefits package including 8% contributory pension, death in service life insurance equal to 2 x annual salary, Credit Union payroll option, carer/family friendly policies, 12 public holidays and 25 days annual leave.

All staff are set up with laptop and Office 365 and work a blended mix of office, community and home working to adhere to our Hub and Spoke operational model and ensure staff confidence and wellbeing are maximised.

Information about our wider services can be found on our website and social media platforms.

We need someone that can motivate others to support our work, that can build long-term relationships with donors and local businesses, and who can turn ideas into fun events or grant applications to raise much needed funds. You need to be enthusiastic, a good communicator and able to travel throughout East Dunbartonshire. Experience of fundraising or sales/marketing useful.

This is an exciting opportunity to build on our recent fundraising successes, and after recent local authority funding cuts, help Carers Link build back stronger to give local carers and families the support they need and deserve. This is a job where you can make great things happen. A job where you can make a real difference.

Make a difference – Board Members required

Glasgow Council on Alcohol (GCA) aims to reduce alcohol and drug related harm, and risk of harm, at an individual and community wide level, through a long-term, asset-based approach to changing the culture of alcohol and drug use. It does this by delivering a range of interventions and services such as alcohol counselling, alcohol brief interventions (ABIs), employability support and groupwork as well as delivering a comprehensive training portfolio, including Addiction Awareness, COSCA Counselling Skills and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling.

GCA has been delivering specialised trauma informed alcohol counselling since 1965 to support those drinking at harmful and hazardous levels and who wish to make a positive change. The counselling approach is integrative and aims to address the presenting alcohol problem but also work with the inevitable accompanying life problems related to it. In our experience around 65% of individuals who access GCA will not have engaged with statutory services or recovery communities. GCA services have expanded to include a range of holistic services to support individuals in recovery from drugs and/or alcohol. Services we provide include; counselling, wellbeing support, a women’s only service for survivors of gender-based violence, and an LGBT health and wellbeing service. Currently GCA delivers services in Glasgow, East Dunbartonshire and East Renfrewshire.
