Operating across Glasgow, we provide a one-week holiday to 120 families per year.
The families we support are those who need a short break most; for them a holiday is not a luxury, it is a much-needed break from the stresses and strains brought about by their circumstances. Whist a holiday would make a big difference to these families; many are unable to afford a trip to the seaside let alone a short break.
As a result of sustained funding from Glasgow Housing Association and the Family Holiday Association as well as new funding from the Big Lottery Fund and The Robertson Trust we are embarking on an exciting three year plan to provide more respite and social tourism opportunities to a greater number of families in Glasgow who need them most.
The Caravan Project has ambitious plans over the next 3 years to provide an exciting range of opportunities for families living in our most deprived communities to access a short break.
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with the necessary skills and experience to co-ordinate the Caravan Projects respite holiday and social tourism programmes which target children and adults from families living in poverty and facing challenging circumstances in Glasgow.
The successful applicant will work with our General Manager and volunteers on delivering all aspects of our programmes including the development, planning, administration and monitoring and evaluation.
Candidates must have effective planning, communication and networking skills as well as being PC literate and confident in using social media. Knowledge of Glasgow’s third sector and social inequalities would be beneficial.
