• Actively empower families to communicate effectively, advocate for their needs, and take pride in their progress and achievements.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children, young people, and families facing challenging life circumstances in individual, family, or group settings.
• Skills in multi-disciplinary, multi-agency collaboration and an understanding of the impact of trauma and adversity on families.
• A strengths-based, resilience-oriented approach to empower families to find solutions, adapt, and thrive.
• Professional resilience, sensitivity to challenging situations, and the ability to maintain open, supportive relationships.
• Strong planning and organizational skills, with the flexibility to respond to families’ needs as they evolve.
• Relevant qualification (SCQF Level 7/HNC or above) and the ability to work towards SCQF Level 8.
• Full UK driving license and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
