We’re currently advertising three unique and innovative roles at People Know How – All Aboard Coordinator, Digital Support Technician and Youth & Family Coordinator.
As a social innovation charity, we’ve developed some exciting and unique projects and we’re looking for some new team members to help us run them! Learn more about these three very different, and very innovative opportunities.
All Aboard Coordinator
Our All Aboard project adds a slightly different spin on community support, by providing it on a canal boat! We’re looking for an All Aboard Project Coordinator to lead on this project.
Launched in September 2021, we run the All Aboard canal boat in partnership with Polwarth Parish Church, also known as the Kirk on the Canal, beside which the boat is moored. In this beautiful natural setting, we invite the community to make use of the boat to explore the Union Canal, find new experiences and improve wellbeing.
So what exactly do we do on the boat? Since our launch we’ve welcomed a music series from Live Music Now Scotland, team-building trips for fellow third sector organisations, litter picks from companies looking to give back to the community, days out for young people, the elderly, people experiencing homelessness and asylum seekers, and much more.
Behind all of this work is our wonderful team of volunteers and strong links with the canal community, all of which is brought together by a dedicated All Aboard Project Coordinator.
Youth & Family Coordinator
What do you get if you cross youth work with art, science and sport, and add in a dash of family support? It’s our Youth & Family Coordinator role!
We know that youth work makes a huge impact on the lives of young people, so we take that support to the next level by offering a holistic service that includes families.
Sitting within our Positive Transitions team, this role focuses on supporting young people in the transition from primary to secondary school. Whether using one-to-one or group work, Youth & Family Coordinators transform lives through support from arts programmes and mystery-solving groups, to sessions using sport, dinosaurs, music and more.
If you like the sound of any of these roles, we'd love to hear from you! View the full job descriptions and apply on our recruitment webpage below.
