The job description is a broad picture of the post at the time of preparation. It should not be seen as an exhaustive list of all possible duties as it is recognised that jobs change over time. Should the duties change radically then the post and grading will be reviewed. The nature of this role means that the postholder will be in a position of trust with young people and protected adults. This is classed as regulated work, and the successful applicant will therefore be required to register with the PVG Scheme in Scotland if they have not already done so, or to apply for a Scheme Record Update. This requirement is in line with the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 and also with the Centre’s own Protecting Vulnerable Groups Policy that can be accessed in the Staff and Volunteers Handbook.
The closing date for applications is 12 pm noon Wednesday 17th July 2024
Interviews will be held on Thursday 25th July 2024
