About the Project: Aberdeen Cyrenians are leading a Scottish Government-funded collaboration in Aberdeen City. This initiative aims to move from reacting to homelessness crises to preventing them before they happen. The project brings together health, justice, education, housing, and community services to create a joined-up, trauma-informed approach that supports early intervention and better outcomes for people at risk.

We are seeking Project Co-ordinators (1.7 FTE in total) who will report to the Project Lead and play a hands-on role in delivering this work throughout 2026. These roles will focus on day-to-day co-ordination, supporting partners to use new tools and processes, and capturing learning from frontline practice to help improve services.

Main Responsibilities: Work with different partner organisations to keep things running smoothly every day. Make sure agreed actions are completed, and any problems are spotted early. Help services use the Ask & Act approach in their work. Support people to get started with the ASK:ENACT tool and make sure it’s used effectively. Collect feedback and lessons learned to help improve the project and report on progress.
