Part of CrossReach Children’s Services, our Community Team in partnership with local agencies, supports young people to be a part of community life. By adopting a child-centred approach our team works with the ‘whole-child’, focusing on improving relationships, enhancing personal development and attending education. The Service is initially located on Ballikinrain Campus in Balfron, Stirlingshire, however we have plans to extend our community houses in areas close to our new education resource in Erskine.

As team leader you will support the Service Leader in the overall management of a cluster of community based houses, implementing care and education plans for each child. You you will be required to be registered with Scottish Social Services Council [SSSC] and have the minimum qualification of HNC Social Care and SVQ Level 3. A commitment to attain a management qualification within the registration period is also required. In fact, we’ll make sure that you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.

You can also look forward to an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance.

What’s more, you will be part of one of Scotland’s largest voluntary social work organisations. At CrossReach, we offer quality care and counselling to a wide range of people in need. But the real story of CrossReach is the work that our staff do: reaching out and making a real difference to the lives of others. If you’d like to join them, we look forward to hearing from you.

Applicants are required to have a Christian faith and be able to work within and uphold our Christian Ethos. These posts are subject to PVG membership.

Changing lives takes a little time and space.

At The Old Lodge in Boquhan, Stirling, we offer residential care for children looked after away from home, who require additional support to cope with the challenges they face. Through a child-centred approach we focus on strengthening relationships, personal development and supporting learning.

As a mentor for children in residential care you will undertake key-worker responsibilities for individual children. This will involve assessing needs, creating and maintaining Care Plans and identifying strategies for positive outcomes.

We are looking for an HNC Social Care and SVQ Level 3 qualification and experience in a care/education role. You will also need a full driving licence. A knowledge and understanding of Attachment Theory Informed Practice would be an advantage.

In return we offer an excellent benefits package that includes an employer contributory pension and generous holiday allowance. What’s more we’ll make sure you have all the training and development you need, not only so you can do a great job, but to help you build your career with us too.
