Fife, United Kingdom Link Group Limited Full time

The purpose of the job is to recruit and train a team of volunteers who have been affected by homelessness, as volunteer Peer Educators to deliver a range of homelessness prevention and independent living skills workshops in Fife high schools. From experience, we know that pupils are more likely to listen to peers with lived experience than a teacher or adult sharing similar information.

You will support the volunteers by providing training for the role and will also identify opportunities and support for future employment for those volunteers. As this is a new service, you will be responsible with the team leader for the implementation of the project and the ongoing monitoring and evaluation. As a Project Worker, you will develop relationships with other agencies and actively promote LinkLiving’s programmes and services.

**About You**

Knowledge of the use of evaluation methods to ensure training is effective, the ability to create relationships/partnerships with other voluntary, employability networks and statutory agencies, experience of using Microsoft office suite, effective communication skills including excellent written and oral and the ability to drive and be able to travel between services, as required are all essential.

For a comprehensive list of the essential and desirable criteria required for this post, please refer to the Job Specification in the Job information Pack above.

**What’s in it for you?**
- 35 days’ holiday per year (inclusive of public holidays) pro rata plus additional 3 days pro rata after 3 years’ service, with an opportunity to buy and sell holiday
- temporary enhanced business travel mileage allowance to support employees with increased fuel costs
- access to paid SVQ qualifications and a wide range of learning and development opportunities and funded Disclosure Scotland and Scottish Social Services Council memberships
- defined contribution pension scheme with generous employer contributions plus salary exchange and additional voluntary contribution options
- 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
- discounted travel schemes including cycle to work scheme, monthly bus pass scheme and travel ticket loan and much more

**Further Information**

If you are considering a career in social care but aren’t sure what it involves or whether it’s right for you, you can enrol in a free, online 6 week part-time tutor-supported ‘Introduction to a Career in Social Care’ course. The course provides an introduction to the area of social care and can be a stepping-stone to employment or further training.
