Join GCIL and Make a Difference!
At the GCIL (Glasgow Centre for Inclusive Living), we empower disabled people with the information, skills, and support they need to lead independent lives and participate fully in society.
As a disabled-people-led organisation, we centre lived experience and pride ourselves on delivering high-quality services that make a real impact in our communities. Communication and connection sit at the heart of everything we do.
Why Work With Us
* Meaningful Impact: Your work will make a tangible difference, helping disabled people of all ages to lead independent, fulfilling lives.
* People-Focused: You’ll spend a significant amount of your time communicating — one-to-one, in groups, in the community, and online. If you love engaging with people, this is the role for you.
* Varied Outreach: From delivering training sessions to hosting workshops, events, and drop-ins, you'll be out in the community building understanding and trust.
* Autonomy and Responsibility: Manage your own caseload and represent GCIL confidently through regular verbal and digital communication.
* Professional Growth: We’ll support your development, including your communication, training delivery, and community engagement skills.
As a Support Services Coordinator, you will:
* Manage our team and our resources effectively, including staff deployment, supplier negotiations and process improvements.
* Support individuals to manage their own care arrangements and make informed choices about available options.
* Assist with safe recruitment, payroll setup, and contingency planning for those employing personal assistants.
* Provide guidance on good employment practices and refer to appropriate resources when needed.
* Deliver accessible information and liaise with relevant organisations for referrals.
* Facilitate stakeholder engagement through forums, training, and feedback to social services.
* Promote continuous learning and professional development within the team.
* Maintain accurate financial, statistical, and case records; prepare reports for funders and committees.
* Ensure compliance with confidentiality, equality, diversity, health and safety, and other organisational policies.
* Represent the organisation confidently at events and build professional networks to support service development.
In order to be successful in this role, you must have:
* Strong communication, interpersonal, and facilitation skills.
* Proven organisational and team leadership abilities.
* Creative problem-solving, networking, and negotiation skills.
* Proficient in Microsoft Office, email, internet, and social media tools.
* Experience delivering support and training to individuals and groups with diverse needs.
* Understanding of Independent Living philosophy and the Social Model of Disability.
* Knowledge of self-directed support services, personal assistance, finance, and employment law.
* Ability to manage resources, staff teams, and satellite offices effectively.
Personal Attributes
* Self-motivated, flexible, and able to work under pressure.
* Enthusiastic and capable of motivating others.
* Willingness to work occasional unsocial hours.
* PVG membership required.
We would ideally like you to have experience and knowledge of Self Directed Support services but this is not essential.
