Candidates are required to have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to provide volunteer managerial support, which is often provided from a distance.
Excellent communication skills are essential as the postholder is required to respond effectively to a wide range of enquiries which include bereaved people. You will be required to establish effective working relationships with a range of Cruse Scotland volunteers and staff, as well as funders and partnership organisations. Experience in volunteer management would be advantageous.
Due to the geographical spread of the role, from time to time the postholder will be required to travel to each of the service bases within North Area; and to other locations within Scotland for meetings and training.
The role is hybrid with a minimum of one day a week in our office at Rose Street, Aberdeen including management of the area co-ordinator (staff).
About Cruse Scotland:We are Scotland’s leading bereavement charity, providing bereavement support to anyone in Scotland who needs us. Bereavement is often one of the toughest experiences that people will face in their lifetime and for some it can be truly debilitating and completely overwhelming.
The range of support we offer includes our helpline, instant web-based support, individual and group counselling support, children and young people’s services, training to workplaces and more. See our website for more information.
The most remarkable thing about Cruse Scotland is the fact that our client services are delivered purely by a volunteer workforce - who are all trained to professional standards. It’s fair to say that their motivation and commitment is contagious, and as such, we value their contributions highly.
Our volunteer workforce of 250 people is located in communities across Scotland and are supported by a small but mighty staff team of 18, the majority of whom are employed part time.
The staff team comprise a mix of roles and talents and share a similar passion for the work of Cruse Scotland. The staff team connects fortnightly to ensure a real sense of community and good relationships across the team.
Feedback from our staff satisfaction survey included:
“I haven't been here long, but I can confidently say Cruse Scotland is one of the best organisations I have worked for, both from work and flexibility and overall organisation support from all staff and management”
“I find Cruse Scotland to be a very inclusive organisation with a great ethos, responsive to staff and volunteers.”
