Full job description

Term: Initially 1 year fixed term

Salary: Scale £24,723 - £29,229 pro rata (Point 26 - 31)

Base: You will spend most of your time travelling across Fife with the flexibility to work from home and occasional catch ups in the office at Deafblind Scotland Learning & Development Centre, 1 Neasham Drive, Kirkintilloch, G66 3FA

Background

Deafblind Scotland is the specialist charity working with adults living with dual sensory loss. We also support other single sensory loss adults with a visual loss or deafness, who can benefit from our services. Our ambitions are high for people with sensory loss, particularly those with dual sensory loss, and we are therefore at the cutting edge of finding ways to support people to lead their most meaningful lives.

Deafblindness can be a devastating condition that can make daily life extremely challenging and as a result, many people with dual sensory loss become isolated. Our services can make a vital difference to their lives; enabling people to regain confidence, gain vital communication skills and re-establish social connections. Some people may acquire the loss of both senses where others may be born Deaf or blind and lose the other sense through conditions such as Ushers Syndrome or through the ageing process.

Purpose of Job

As an expansion of our existing Connect2Support Programme our Carers Advice Project is a support service for carers, and those carers may themselves have a sensory impairment as well as or instead of the person they care for, in Fife, to access their rights so they can have a better quality of life, aiming to reduce socio-economic & health inequalities. This will be done through conducting needs assessments, determining the support required to improve the lives of the carers affected by sensory impairment and provide information and support when needs are identified. Assistance to complete application forms for benefits, referrals to specific services, advocacy support and ongoing support will be an integral part of the project.

This bespoke project, focusing on carers to ensure their wellbeing, will be provided through a unique home visiting service. Many people with a sensory impairment are older, they may be a carer or being cared for. This can lead to barriers in activating rights such as a lack of access to technology. The Project Officer will take online technology to the visit so that information and any forms can be accessed in the client’s home. This is also an example of the added value the Carers Advice project will bring where carers in Fife affected by sensory impairment will have access to the other forms of support that DbS offer such as through internal referral to our technology project, communication & independent living skills, training and health & mental health improvement programmes. This may include supporting the wellbeing of carers through providing opportunities for mutual support.

This position involves remote travel throughout Fife with occasional visits to Deafblind Scotland Learning & Development Centre, 1 Neasham Drive, Kirkintilloch, G66 3FA

Key Responsibilities

· Undertake & successfully complete identified training courses to support achieving outcomes of the project
