(Wow, you sound pretty awesome! Go you!)

Edinburgh in the loneliest city in the UK for older people. Vintage Vibes is an award-winning charitable partnership between LifeCare and Space, tackling social isolation in over 60s across Edinburgh through incredible, long lasting friendships, groups and events.

Following the pandemic we are looking to increase our reach within Edinburgh communities for volunteer recruitment, community/corporate fundraising and awareness raising. We want to become the go-to charity project for tackling isolation in older people in Edinburgh, and this is where you come in!

This is a new role with a focus supporting our team in our Communications and Fundraising activity. This will include:

In addition, this role will involve:

All team members are expected to:

We are looking for someone who is passionate about connection, someone who will champion our project, someone who will collaborate to develop the best ideas and initiatives, and someone who recognises that good communication creates great connections.

Never fear, we know that this sounds like a lot for a four day a week role! We are keen to ensure that you take a lead in creating realistic, manageable strategies that prioritize where we can have the biggest impact and do a few things well.

Plus, you will have the support of the rest of the team, office volunteers and pro bono corporate support to lend their talents and time where needed.

We love healthy expectations management, so although the list is long, our aim is to always bring the best out of you and never over stretch you (for example, the entire ‘PR strategy’ might simply be getting 3 press releases picked up per year, or our challenge events strategy might only be engaging in one challenge event per year). We want you to do well and feel confident in what you can achieve!

We also embrace a learning culture in Vintage Vibes so are happy to embrace experimentation – if not everything works, that’s a-okay with us!

ABOUT VINTAGE VIBES:

Our values are:

We love doing things differently We treat everyone as an individual We’re about real friendships

In the first 7 years, Vintage Vibes has helped establish over 850 friendships between its VIPs and volunteers based on shared interests, from baking to Battlestar Galactica!

We have contributed to consultations and discussions about tackling loneliness in Scotland and has successfully supported volunteers to complete over twenty thousand hours of volunteering as well as creating thriving singing, film and sewing groups.

In addition, an evaluation carried out by the Community Enterprise

Group concluded that the project:

Our VIPs consistently report improved mental health and wellbeing by being part of our community and we’ve won awards, been featured on BBC, STV, ITV and across most national and local press. We’ve even had Gail Porter as our Christmas campaign ambassador! And at our core, we have a strong, engaging, accessible brand and approach that we’re really proud of and would love you to build from!

Our most recent VIP survey found that 82% of VIPs reported that their involvement with Vintage Vibes had made them feel happier and improved their quality of life, with 94% reporting they were now less isolated before becoming part of Vintage Vibes.

WHY SHOULD YOU WORK FOR VINTAGE VIBES?

First things first, you should work for us because you love the idea of long term friendships between fantastic, unique over 60s (VIPs) and wonderful, incredible volunteers. You love the fact that we really get to know VIPs and volunteers and connect them based on their interests and what makes them tick. You love being part of an open, fun, trusting and hardworking team who are constantly trying to develop what we do in order to help as many isolated older people as we can. And you love cake (not essential, but we do eat a lot of cake).

If all of that isn’t enough, here’s some added perks of being part of the Vintage Vibes team:

Also, we are currently developing our REPLACEMENT_STRING2028 Strategy and are doubling our team size from 4 to 8, so it’s an exciting time to get involved! Hurrah!
