MOMENTUM Scotland is a national not-for-profit organisation working in partnership to enable and empower disabled and excluded people throughout Scotland to identify and achieve their goals.

We have a vacancy for a Job Coach to help support individuals with health conditions and disabilities into work through the Fair Start Scotland programme. The successful candidate will have experience of supporting individuals to overcome barriers and move closer to the labour market. They will cover mainly Inverness/Elgin, as well as the general Highlands & Islands area.

The successful candidate should have experience of:

Working with disabled, and/or disadvantaged people accessing employment focused programmes

Undertaking jobsearch activities, confidence building, and training where appropriate.

Engaging with employers to help find suitable jobs, as well as being able to support the individuals in work.

Working to targets is crucial to the post and equally important that you are able to ensure all funder expectations for quality and compliance are met including data input and file completion.

It is desirable that the post holder would be qualified to HN, (SCQF Level 7), but relevant experience will be considered of greater weight. A full driving licence is essential.

Here at Clashfarquhar in Stonehaven we don’t just see those we work with as older people. For us, providing the best quality of care is hugely rewarding and our goal is to ensure that every one of our residents enjoys the best possible quality of life.

Something as simple as a smile can make the world of difference to their day and yours. If you share our belief, this is your opportunity to join our close-knit and supportive team. It can be pretty challenging at times and priorities can change quickly so you will definitely need to be a patient and understanding individual. We work closely together as a team though – there’s always someone to talk to and we all help each other out wherever we can.

While an SVQ 3 qualification in Social Care would be ideal, it’s not essential as we’ll support you to gain it. In fact, we’ll make sure that you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations. At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need. But the real story of CrossReach is the work that our staff do: reaching out and making a real difference to the lives of others. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you.

As we do our work in Christ’s name you must be respectful of our Christian Ethos and be able to work within it. You do not need to share our faith. These posts are subject to PVG Membership.

Do you have what it takes to make a difference?

ENABLE Scotland is a dynamic and vibrant organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people with learning disabilities and we have an exciting opportunity within our Aberdeen/Moray services for a dynamic and motivated Services Manager. This role will be based in either our Inverurie or our Elgin office and will cover either our Aberdeen City and Shire or Moray services pending where the successful candidate is based.

You must have the passion and drive to take a lead role in continuing to improve the quality of the services we provide to the people we support and to effectively lead and support local Team Facilitators to manage our frontline support staff.

This role is pivotal to the success of our mission and ambition to support people with a learning disability to lead the lives of their choosing; lives that are full, meaningful and inclusive. A successful Services Manager will lead their teams to develop and maintain good relationships and communications with the family and Social Care professionals involved in the lives of the people we support.

Sound good so far?

Successful applicants will be able to demonstrate the following:

• Significant experience of leading and managing Supported Living Services.
• Experience of managing teams with knowledge of culture change.
• A commitment to the inclusion of people with a learning disability.
• An in-depth understanding of the Self Directed Support Act and its principles.
• SVQ level 4 or the ability to work towards the relevant qualification required for your SSSC registration.
• A clear understanding of the need to build and sustain partnerships with stakeholders, commissioners and other third sector providers.
• The ability to lead our business strategy at a local level whilst promoting ENABLE Scotland with an emphasis on growing our business.
• Full driving licence with access to your own vehicle for business use.

What’s also great about ENABLE Scotland is that we believe in developing all our staff and provide an extensive training programme, combined with a commitment to create career development opportunities including SVQ Level 4.

Here at Clashfarquhar in Stonehaven we provide the highest levels of care for older people. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our residents enjoys the best possible quality of life. Of course, making sure that they also enjoy tasty and nutritious food is right at the heart of that, which is why this rewarding role is so important.

Don’t think for a moment that you’ll spend all of your time shut away in the kitchen though. You’ll talk to our residents, to find out what they like and to make sure they’re happy with their meals, as well as to relatives and the rest of the team here.

That’s why we used the word ‘rewarding’ earlier. Just hearing someone say “I really liked that soup” with a big smile on their face can make a huge difference to your day.

As well as cooking everything from scratch, you’ll order and check deliveries, update menus and generally keep paperwork up-to-date. So you will need to be well organised and able to manage your own time. We’re looking for previous catering experience and also preferably an Elementary Food Handling Certificate.

In return, there’s an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.
