Do you have what it takes to work with third sector organisations who are delivering services that support health & social care outcomes? If so, we'd like to receive an application from you by Monday 9th June at 1200hrs. 

AVA works in many different ways with many community, voluntary, and third sector groups and organisations across Aberdeenshire.  No two days are the same, because the nature of the work we do varies for each organisation we engage with. 

We are currently seeking to recruit a motivated and enthusiastic Development Officer to join our team working across Aberdeenshire. 

Duties will include providing support and guidance that will enable groups and organisations to deliver their services.  The post will specialise in primarily working with and supporting organisations who support health and social care outcomes, and will include a specific focus on mental health and wellbeing through our already established network. 

The postholder will also be expected to work in partnership with public, private and third sector organisations, and act as a focal point for most things related to health & social care; we are looking for a person who really understands that everyone has something to offer, and values interacting with people.
