Sight Scotland Veterans is looking for an Activity Worker / Driver to join our team at the Linburn Centre on a
part-time basis (30 hours per week). In this role, you will deliver and support a varied programme of
activities. You will encourage veterans to try new experiences, develop skills and engage with others in a
person-centred and accessible way.
You will also contribute to planning and developing new activities and events, supporting the day-to-day running of
the service and working closely with colleagues and volunteers to ensure a high standard of delivery. Driving
and/or escorting duties are part of the role, so a full UK driving licence is essential.
This is a hands-on and rewarding opportunity for someone who is organised, approachable and confident in motivating
others. You should have strong communication and organisational skills, good IT knowledge and the ability to
work both independently and as part of a team. Experience in a social care, recreational or community setting
would be advantageous.
If you are passionate about supporting others and want to be part of a service that makes a real difference to
people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.
You don’t need to meet every single requirement to be a great candidate. Most people learn parts of the job once
they’re in post, so if a role interests you and you believe you could grow into it, we’d love to hear from
you.
We’re committed to fair, accessible recruitment. If you need any adjustments, like extra time, a different format, or
other support, at any stage of the process, just let us know. Please contact People and Culture on 0131 378 2793
or via peopleand culture@sightscotland.org.uk who can arrange for any support you need.
