Join Our Team as an Outreach Development Officer

Are you passionate about supporting people with a spinal cord injury across Scotland? Do you have the confidence, coordination skills, and compassion to lead a small team and build meaningful connections?

Spinal Injuries Scotland is looking for a dynamic and proactive Outreach Development Officer to lead and coordinate our national peer support service. You’ll be responsible for overseeing our peer support team, developing networks across health and third sector services, and ensuring that people living with a spinal cord injury receive timely, relevant, and compassionate support.

As a Care Assistant at Leuchie, you’ll be part of a friendly, multi-disciplinary team helping our guests make the most of their time with us.
