Can you help us make Wales a great place to grow older?
Age Cymru is seeking a full-time Project Officer with strong communication and interpersonal skills to support the HOPE Project (Helping Others Participate and Engage). Working closely with local Age Connects and Age Cymru partners, you will help deliver independent advocacy for people aged 50 and over and carers across Wales. This is a fixed-term contract until 31 March 2027.
You will help develop advocacy services across the region and deliver the HOPE Project’s early-intervention objectives, enabling older people to understand their options, express their views and have a stronger voice in decisions that affect them.
The HOPE Project helps older people and carers to participate in decisions, make informed choices and have their voices heard. It also enables them to share their experiences and develop their skills and knowledge, while raising awareness of advocacy and the support available.
As part of the HOPE regional project team, you will recruit, train and manage volunteers who support older people. You will also maintain regular contact with older people and carers, receive and assess advocacy referrals, and allocate suitable referrals to volunteers. The role calls for empathy, sound judgement and an understanding of the needs of older people and carers.
This is a hybrid role combining home and office working, with occasional travel across Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. Your contractual office base will be agreed with the successful candidate, and applications are welcomed from people living across these areas. The successful candidate must have access to a car for business use; eligible travel expenses will be reimbursed.
