We also offer employability and digital literacy training, non-regulated money guidance (e.g., support with household budgeting), and free ‘Wellbeing and Social Space’ sessions for women.

We have recently been awarded a grant from the Energy Redress Scheme for a new project to support people who are in, or at risk of, fuel poverty. The aim is to help 150 households in west London to access advice on improving the energy efficiency of their homes and applying for relevant financial support. We will implement this project through four key strategies:

2. Developing texts for flyers and other educational materials to inform householders about different ways to save energy, with estimates of the expected monthly savings where possible.

3. Conducting a workshop to train the project team in conducting home energy audits. Project team members will have completed the City and Guilds Level 3 Energy Awareness Certificate by this point, so the workshop should bridge any gaps between formal training and practical competency.

4. Conducting a short workshop with service users to provide information on different energy-saving measures and raise awareness of the project activities.

At Thistle Foundation we believe in a world of inclusion, free of isolation and loneliness, where a health crisis doesn’t mean a life crisis. Our organisation supports people living with disabilities and long-term health conditions to lead good lives and achieve what matters most to them. Every year, our health and wellbeing team supports 1000s of people across Scotland, and our Supported Living teams work alongside just under 100 people in Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife. They promote citizenship and inclusion and support people to live in their own homes, in their local community.

This new post will form part of the management team and work closely with the Chief Executive and Director of Resources to plan and deliver the Thistle Strategy.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Providing leadership, strategic direction and overall accountability for person-centred activities and a strength-based approach, ensuring continuous improvement and delivery against quality standards.
• Ensuring managers are accountable for their own and their teams’ objectives.
• Representing Thistle with a range of stakeholders internally and externally and key contact for contracting organisations.
• Overseeing operational management targets particularly in relation to statutory compliance.

You should have both operational and strategic management experience within the health and/or social care sector and professionally qualified to SCQF level 10 or above in a relevant health/ social care qualification and hold appropriate leadership and management qualifications or demonstrate equivalent learning.
