About the Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland

The Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland (the ALLIANCE) is an independent Scottish Charity funded by a grant from the Scottish Government. Our vision is for a Scotland where people of all ages who are disabled or living with long term conditions, and unpaid carers, have a strong voice and enjoy their right to live well, as equal and active citizens, free from discrimination, with support and services that put them at the centre.

The ALLIANCE has three core aims; we seek to: 

• Ensure people are at the centre, that their voices, expertise, and rights drive policy and sit at the heart of design, delivery and improvement of support and services.
• Support transformational change, towards approaches that work with individual and community assets, helping people to stay well, supporting human rights, self-management, co-production, and independent living.
• Champion and support the third sector as a vital strategic and delivery partner and foster better cross-sector understanding and partnership.

Application notes

For an application pack please see our website, or contact HR at hr@alliance-scotland.org.uk.

We are happy to consider any reasonable adjustments that applicants may need during the recruitment process and you will be asked whether you require any during this process. We also offer reasonable adjustments on the job.

The ALLIANCE is committed to the principles of the Disability Confident Scheme, which includes offering an interview to a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role.  

This commitment does not guarantee an interview for all disabled applicants; candidates must meet the minimum criteria of the role. The purpose of this approach is to promote positive action by encouraging disabled individuals to apply for roles and providing them with the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, talents, and potential at the interview stage.

There may be instances where it is not practical or appropriate to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria. In such cases, we will apply the same selection process used for non-disabled applicants, shortlisting those who best meet the criteria.

Closing date for applications is Friday 14 August 2026, at 9am

Interviews will be held on Monday 24 August 2026. If you are unable to make this date, please notify us at the time of application. We may be able to accommodate another time and date within 2 days of the original date.
