Poppyscotland is at the forefront of delivery of support to our Armed Forces community across Scotland.  We reach out to those who have served, those still serving, and their families at times of crisis and need by offering vital, practical advice, assistance and funding.

This will include gathering, collating, and preparing required documentation from clients for grant applications; keeping clients and case managers up to date with developments on casework; ordering goods, creating purchase orders and processing invoices; and ensure all case working records are up to date and GDPR compliant. You will also be responsible for a level of client engagement which will include support with appointments and the provision of peer support sessions.
