Would you like to make a difference to someone’s life?

We are currently looking for an PA Support Coordinator to support an established team whose joint approach is to provide an inclusive service for carers in all aspects of Independent Living.

Ideally, you will have experience and understanding of Self-Directed Support and have current experience of managing a caseload, working one-to-one with individuals including unpaid carers and disabled people.

After initial training in the office environment, this post will be a mix of office, home and outreach-based working. The post is part of a project in partnership with VOCAL (Voice of Carers Across Lothian) and will include regular meetings and close work alongside VOCAL colleagues.

Successful applicants subject to PVG.

We want you to succeed with your application to join LCiL.

To help you, we will provide the interview questions in advance to all shortlisted candidates.

We want to hear about all of the skills and experience you can bring to this role. The ability to 'think on your feet' can be useful but it is not always a primary function of a role. We believe it helps to be able to sit with information and take the time you need to think through your responses, examples, your skills and experience, so you can bring the best of yourself to your LCiL interview.

If you have any questions regarding the recruitment process, please contact Caitlin McPherson via HR@lothiancil.org.uk.
