GAMH services support people with mental health problems to recover and lead self-determined and purposeful lives. We
currently have vacancies for reliable and enthusiastic people who can commit to our core values of equality,
inclusion, and recovery. GAMH is a Scottish Living Wage accredited organisation and is committed to Fair Work
First principles for all employment terms and conditions. Our Learning and Development Programme guarantees that
you have continuous training opportunities to ensure that you have all the skills you need for the job as well
as meeting the requirements for SSSC registration.
We are seeking Assistant Project Workers to join our city-wide Self-Directed Support Service and Service Centres
located across the city. In this role, you will provide personalised support to adults experiencing or
recovering from mental health challenges.
As an Assistant Project Worker, you will build supportive and trusting relationships with individuals, helping them
achieve their personal goals and maintain their wellbeing. You will also demonstrate strong communication and
organisational skills, ensuring that all personal planning guidelines are followed and that you work effectively
alongside our key referrers and partner agencies.
While knowledge of the role and purpose of a social care worker is desirable, full induction and training will be
provided. This includes training on the SSSC Codes of Practice, the National Care Standards, and how these
frameworks apply to your role.
A qualification at SVQ Level 2 (or equivalent), or a willingness to work towards achieving this qualification, is
essential.
As these services are registered with the Care Inspectorate, you will be required to pay an annual fee to maintain
your registration.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate the values and attitude required to work with people who are living with
mental health challenges and who may have complex needs and be able to work flexibly; some early morning,
evening and weekend working may be required.
GAMH aims to promote equality of opportunity in service delivery as well as in employment practice. To achieve this,
