Charity looks for advisor to help veterans Glasgow Jobs

Group aiding young women also recruiting

- BY JACK HAUGH

IF you have a passion for helping others and fancy a career change, Poppyscotl­and might have just the job for you. The charity is on the hunt for an independen­t living advisor to join its St Enoch’s team.

The role would see you provide person-centred advice, support and advocacy for members of the armed forces who are living with, or caring for someone with, long-term illness or disability.

The charity writes: “Our work centres around seven key areas: tailored support and funding, advice, employment, mobility, respite, housing and mental health. While much of this work is delivered directly, collaborat­ion with other specialist organisati­ons for the benefit of Scotland’s Armed Forces community is at the heart of Poppyscotl­and’s approach.

“The role is home-based and normally involves regular travel across the region as outlined in the job descriptio­n.

“Currently the work is being undertaken remotely with the use of technology rather than face-to-face.

“You may also have to work outside office hours as necessary.”

For a full-time salary of £23,000, Poppyscotl­and is looking for someone with experience of working in an independen­t living advisory capacity and experience of working with people with disabiliti­es.

Across the city, SAY Women Semi-Supported Accommodat­ion in Shettlesto­n is also on the lookout for someone with care at the heart of everything they do.

The shelter, which provides support and accommodat­ion for eight young women who have experience­d homelessne­ss and sexual abuse, wants an accommodat­ion project worker to join its team.
