Edinburgh, United Kingdom PKAVS Full time

Background

We are PKAVS, we are an incorporated charity that serves the community of Perth & Kinross offering five community-led services supported by a team of 80 colleagues and up to 50 volunteers.

We operate across five locations in Perth & Kinross under our service banners which include Carers PKAVS, the Third Sector Interface, The Walled Garden & Wisecraft PKAVS, Shopmobility PKAVS, and the Big Hoose Project.

We offer these varied social care and welfare services as well as support and advocacy to Perth & Kinross' dynamic third sector.

At PKAVS our vision is a Perth and Kinross where people flourish, and communities thrive.

Carers PKAVS is our largest service. We provide support and respite care to unpaid carers aged 5+ across Perth & Kinross at our Carers Centre in Lewis Place Perth.

The Third Sector Interface is administered by PKAVS on behalf of the Scottish Government and provides four crucial support workstreams to the third sector in Perth & Kinross from the Gateway in Perth

• Voice – supporting the voice of the third sector.

• Connect – Connecting communities through the third sector.

• Building Capacity – supporting the development and growth of the third sector.

• Volunteering – developing and growing the volunteer programme to support the ongoing operation of third sector organisations.

Walled Garden & Wisecraft PKAVS - provides therapeutic support and engagement activities that serve to improve the mental health and well-being of the people of Perth & Kinross from their two locations at the Walled Garden & Cafe in Perth and at the Wisecraft Workshop in Blairgowrie.

Shopmobility PKAVS promotes independence in the community by providing mobility support equipment from its purpose built Shopmobility hub in Perth's Canal St car park.
