As a disabled-people-led organisation, we centre lived experience and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality services that make a real impact in our communities.

Why Work With Us?

• Professional Growth: We’ll support your development and give you opportunities to grow your skills and experience in a values-led environment.

This is a leadership role with responsibility for managing and developing a small team that supports disabled people and their families to understand and access Self-directed Support (SDS).

Based mainly in Glasgow and working across three local authority areas, the postholder will combine staff leadership with hands-on work in the community, providing information, advice and short-term support, and leading outreach activities that raise awareness of SDS.

The role involves building strong relationships with disabled people, carers, local authorities and third sector partners, influencing good practice and supporting co-production.

This is a people-focused role, ideal for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is confident representing a service in community and professional settings, and is motivated by making a meaningful difference in their local community.

All posts will require PVG scheme membership.
