About the job

We are currently looking for a full time Project Co-ordinator to join Citizens Advice Scotland to ensure successful delivery of the EU Nationals Support Project. The role is offered on a fixed-term basis, initially for 6 months.  

Citizens Advice Scotland runs a series of national specialist services as projects which require centralised project co-ordination. The EU Citizens Support Project will be delivered by the bureau network, providing information, advice and support to EU nationals through a Scotland wide helpline and face to face support. Citizens Advice Bureaux will employ specialist advisers to deliver the service which will enable EU nationals to go through the settlement application process and provide advice, help and support to them as they do so.  

The role will involve co-ordination of Citizens Advice Scotland staff and local bureaux to enable effective delivery.

You will have experience of project development, co-ordination and implementation as well as contract management and problem resolution. You will be able to demonstrate your ability to gather and analyse information in order to produce quality reports. You will possess excellent communication skills to be able to build good relationships, manage expectations and communicate information clearly and accessibly. Within your role as Project Co-ordinator, you are expected to contribute to the development of project plans, monitor progress and identify issues.

This is a great opportunity to play a critical role in helping to make society fairer, and in supporting our network of Citizens Advice Bureaux across Scotland.
