    Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

    Our Older Persons' Service addresses loneliness and social isolation among older people through volunteer befriending, social cafes, and our Help to Stay at Home service.

    The Older Persons Service promotes social inclusion opportunities for isolated and lonely vulnerable older people by providing 1:1 support in people's own homes.

    Older people will ideally benefit emotionally through shared interests and experiences with their matched staff member and also through practical assistance, such as help with transport to Health Services including GP, dentist and hospital appointments, collection of prescription, support to attend appointments, shopping trips and social outings.

    The purpose of the job is to work closely with the project workers and volunteers to support the people who receive our services to become engaged and included within their communities.

    You will have good computer skills and the ability to use technology efficiently to maintain and update records, combined with a knowledge and understanding of the issues affecting older people.

    A valid driver's license and access to a car that can be used daily to travel between services as required is essential for this role.

    The benefits of being a LinkLiving employee (subject to the policies and benefit terms and conditions) include:
    Competitive salary, reviewed annually, and opportunity for annual performance related salary increases and discretionary non-consolidated pay awards, subject to terms of the scheme
    35 days' holiday per year (inclusive of public holidays) pro rata plus additional 3 days pro rata after 3 years' service
    opportunity to buy and sell holiday
    enhanced company sick and family friendly pay
    access to paid SVQ qualifications and a wide range of learning and development opportunities
    defined contribution pension scheme with generous employer contributions plus salary exchange and additional voluntary contribution options
    access to an Electric vehicle leasing scheme, subject to the terms of the scheme
    life assurance scheme providing death in service benefits to named beneficiaries
    healthcare cash plan for employees (and dependents) to support health and wellbeing plus discounts on shopping, restaurants, and other services
    employee assistance programme for employees and their immediate household dependants to support health, mental and financial well-being
    cycle to work scheme
    monthly bus pass scheme
    season/travel ticket loan and much more
    For a full list of benefits available to employees, please see our website.

    If you have any questions about the role, please email and we can arrange for someone from the service to call you for an informal chat.
