Role

About you:        

We have an amazing opportunity to recruit a co-ordinator to support training across Cruse Scotland.  This is a great role for a highly organised individual with robust IT skills and excellent communication skills, who will regularly link with our staff team, volunteers, trainers and individuals/organisations interested in training.  You will be confident organising your own workload, managing conflicting priorities and being part of a team working towards a common goal.

About the organisation:   

We are Scotland’s leading bereavement charity providing bereavement support to anyone in Scotland who needs us.   The range of support includes helpline, individual and group counselling support, children and young people’s services, bereavement support and training to workplaces……and so much more! www.crusescotland.org.uk

The support services offered to clients are delivered by a volunteer workforce who are trained to professional standards, and it’s fair to say that their motivation and commitment are contagious. We value their contributions highly and ensure an excellent programme of initial and ongoing training, as well as support and development opportunities for them.

About the Role:    

The training co-ordinator role is central to supporting the recruitment and training administration of volunteers across our organisation.  The role also supports the co-ordination of training to external organisations, which is a key income generator for our charity.   See job description for all that is entailed.

Your new colleagues: 

Our volunteer workforce of 200 people are located in communities across Scotland and are supported by a small but mighty staff team of 20.  The staff team comprise a mix of roles and talents, which include the co-ordination of client services, management and training of volunteers, income generation and governance of the charity. As a staff team of 20 we connect fortnightly to ensure a real sense of community and enjoy 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”
