More about the role
In this dynamic position, you will be the driving force behind our Estates and Facilities helpdesk. You'll coordinate both reactive works and planned preventative maintenance, ensuring requests are triaged effectively, urgent issues are resolved swiftly, and service disruptions are clearly communicated to all stakeholders.
Day-to-day, you will line-manage and empower a team of two Facilities Administrators, fostering a positive, inclusive, and values-led culture through coaching and training. You'll also act as the crucial bridge between our clinical, retail, and rehoming site teams and our external contractors.

You are a highly organized, service-oriented professional who stays calm and communicates clearly, even when juggling competing priorities or navigating urgent situations.

You will have a working knowledge of CAFM or similar service management systems, and know how to get the most out of them to improve our ways of working.
You are entirely comfortable diving into systems and data to spot trends, manage contractor performance, and drive continuous improvement.

About the Project
PKD Scotland: Outreach and Community Connections Project.
It is estimated that around 5,000 people in Scotland could be living with Polycystic Kidney
Disease. It is however often poorly understood and historically underfunded, meaning people
can leave clinic after diagnosis with little support beyond medical appointments. Many tell us
they don't know where to turn for emotional support or to meet others living with the same
condition. We want to change that and with support from a National lottery Awards for All grant
that is exactly what we are going to do.
The eighteen-month project will see us reach into hospitals across Scotland to try and ensure
that no one with PKD in Scotland has to manage their journey on their own. From diagnosis
onwards we want all to be aware of the charity, the array of services that we offer and foster
engagement. Two new volunteer led support groups will be established and a group of
ambassadors recruited to support the ongoing connections we make to ensure that PKD
remains in the spotlight.
As our Scotland PKD Engagement Officer you will be central to the success of the project.
Many people only reach us years after diagnosis, often when symptoms worsen, but we know
that early connection can make a real difference. PKD is lifelong and people face new
challenges at every stage. Having support around them helps them stay confident, informed
and connected.
About The Role
As PKD’s Scotland Engagement Officer, you will play a central role in delivering this ambitious
outreach project.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will raise awareness of the PKD Charity and its services,
ensuring that people diagnosed with PKD are informed about available support from the earliest
possible stage.
You will build and nurture relationships with NHS professionals and services across Scotland,
helping embed PKD Charity information and resources into patient pathways. Alongside this, you
will work closely with volunteers to establish two new PKD support groups and develop an
ambassador programme to maintain long-term local engagement and visibility.
This is an exciting opportunity for a confident relationship-builder who enjoys working
autonomously while contributing to a small and dedicated team. Your work will help ensure that
people living with PKD across Scotland feel informed, connected and supported throughout every
stage of their condition.

Who we are
Every year, thousands of people in the UK face court alone. Often through no choice of their own, people must represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes. This includes loss of access to children or homelessness. At the same time, people facing court alone may find themselves up against a party with legal representation. They are instantly at a disadvantage and overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenges they are up against. We supported unrepresented litigants in the civil and family courts in England and Wales over 45,000 times last year.
We provide a safe space with volunteers who listen to each client’s individual story. Last year, over 1000 volunteers helped people to get their thoughts in order, problem-solve and decide next steps, source relevant and reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and clearly present statements.
At a time when legal support is increasingly limited, we have a vision that no one should have to face court alone.
To make this vision a reality, we have a focused communications strategy to ensure the charity has the brand, reach and impact it needs to connect with unrepresented court users and engage supporters.
Who we're looking for
Ambitious, professional, committed and friendly. That describes us. If it also describes you and you have a passion for communications, then we’re keen to hear from you.
We’re looking for a Communications Manager to join our team for maternity cover. You’ll be stewarding our 25th anniversary communications plan and helping us to connect with our stakeholders, especially with those in the legal sector. As well as overseeing our website and social media, you’ll be supporting the service team in connecting with volunteers and clients and supporting the fundraising team in engaging donors.
The role
The Communications Manager role is a cross-organisation role, and you’ll be supported by the CEO and the Head of Fundraising. You’ll also be able to build on the firm foundations we already have in place, with plans agreed for our 25th year.
We’re open to applications from communications professionals who want to work hybrid from the Royal Courts of Justice in London or want to work from home.
To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter about why you're the right person for the role via Charity Job.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

- Good organisational skills and confidence using IT systems and databases.
Desirable
- Experience in a day centre, drop-in, or similar frontline setting.
- Knowledge of local authority homelessness duties and processes.
- Experience supporting reconnection or working across borough boundaries.
- Lived experience of homelessness or working alongside peer-led approaches.
