By supporting VSA, you can help to make a real difference and help to change the lives of vulnerable children and adults throughout Aberdeen and the North-East of Scotland.
As we support people from birth to end of life, we have a wide range of services or projects that you can donate to. Help VSA by affording us the opportunity to give vulnerable children and adults in the North East, the skills, opportunities, experiences, and environments they need to realise their dreams and lead more independent and integrated lives.
You can choose where you donation goes towards:
If you would like your donation restricted towards a particular service or part of VSA, just let us know. It is also very important that we receive general (unrestricted) donations. This enables us to put your donation towards the greatest need for vulnerable people.
We have a variety of roles available and can offer full and part-time contracts across our services ranging from Team Leaders, Support Workers, General Assistants, and Relief Support Workers.
Whether you are experienced in providing care or are looking for a new career we would love to hear from you.
Please take some time to look at our current vacancies or get in touch if you would like more information about working for VSA.
If you have any difficulties completing the online application form or have any queries about the recruitment process, please contact the recruitment team directly – recruitment@vsa.org.uk or call 01224 212021 and one of our team will be able to assist you.

Making a donation to our work couldn't be easier, you can either:
Don't forget to Gift Aid your donation!
Gift Aid is a government initiative that allows donations given to charity to be tax-effective. Gift Aid is not claimed unless we have your permission. You can give your permission by completing our Gift Aid declaration form. Once completed we can claim the tax back on your donation.
This means that a £10 donation will be worth £12.50 and for every £50 gift, we will actually receive £62.50.
For the latest information and guidelines on Gift Aid please visit HMRC https://www.gov.uk/donating-to...
If you're donating online, Gift Aid will be one of the questions we will ask you, however, if you are a UK Tax Payer and you are planning to donate via bank transfer or by sending a cheque please download our gift aid declaration form. Once completed please send with your cheque or send back to us electronically at fundraising@vsa.org.uk
Your donations help VSA to change the lives of those we support
