Job title: Project Worker (Link Academy)

Location: This post is based at LinkLiving’s Kirkcaldy office but involves regular travel throughout Fife.

Hours of Work: 37.5 per week (Monday-Friday, 9-5)

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support? Do you want to be part of a trauma-informed team where you will be supported to develop creative and flexible ways of working?

At LinkLiving, our values and people are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values, which are:

- Empathy (listen to and understand an individual’s needs and circumstances)
- Respect (treat others the way they wish to be treated)
- Integrity (be honest and have strong moral principles)
- Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives. We support people through a range of models including:

- Personal development and employability programmes
- Self-help coaching
- Supported accommodation
- Care at home
- Housing support
- Befriending
- Social cafes

**The Service**

The Link Academy team works primarily with people with complex backgrounds. The service works hard and creatively to maintain the early engagement of participants. We support people by offering mental health and wellbeing programmes, independent living skills and a wide range of qualifications to support their progression including employability, tenancy, personal development and leadership award qualifications.

**The Job**

The purpose of the job is to support people to achieve their goals and aspirations through group work by providing opportunities to enhance their knowledge and skills. You will be responsible for recruiting, training and supporting the programme participants. You will support the achievement of high standards and provide monitoring information in relation to the project’s outcomes.

You will ensure that opportunities are provided to people equipping them with the skills to make a valuable contribution to the service and their wider community. You will support people into a positive destination whether that be re-engagement with education, training or employment. The Project Worker will provide support and offer guidance to programme participants, develop relationships with other agencies and services and actively promote LinkLiving’s programmes and services.

**About You**

Proficiency in using the Microsoft Office suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, is essential. You possess a solid understanding of the employability sector and volunteering initiatives, enabling you to contribute effectively to our mission. Your excellent written and oral communication skills allow you to convey information clearly and effectively.

Adaptability is one of your key traits, allowing you to thrive in new environments and challenges with ease. You work openly and honestly within a team setting, contributing to a collaborative and supportive work culture. Your ability to prioritise and plan your workload, as well as that of team members, ensures efficient and effective task management.

You are skilled in creating and maintaining relationships and partnerships with other voluntary, employability networks, and statutory agencies. Possessing a valid driver's license, you are willing and able to travel between services as required.
