The Community Link Worker will be employed by Caring in Craigmillar and will work as part of two practice teams (Restalrig Park and Baronscourt) in North East Edinburgh, to provide 1:1 person-centred and practical supports to people in contact with the GP practice team.

Pregnancy Counselling and Care (Scotland) is currently looking to recruit a Baby Bank Development Worker to support the running of our Baby Bank, to enable us to increase the capacity of the service.

We have recently moved to the Gyle Shopping Centre which is giving us greater space to work within and access to volunteers and baby items donations. This role will work closely with the other Baby Bank Development Worker to enable the service to open all weekdays, as currently it is only open Mon to Wed.

This post will also have a particular focus on; firstly, supporting the marketing of the charity, working with volunteers to deliver regular posts on social media, and secondly, on supporting volunteering opportunities through working with third sector partners and corporate organisations.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised person with volunteer management and marketing experience to join our friendly team. The post will be managed by our Operations Manager.

We look forward to hearing from you.

About Aberlour Options Fife - Respite and Outreach

Options Fife Respite and Outreach provides a range of flexible support through outreach and overnight short breaks at weekends, evenings and school holidays to children and young people with complex learning disabilities and autism. We offer a high-quality child centred service providing positive and enabling experiences for the young people, supporting them through the challenges and complexities that enable them to work towards their individual outcomes and personal goals. We work closely with families and other professionals in providing support tailored around the child’s plan.

What we are looking for....

We are looking to recruit two Young People’s Worker Nights, working four nights on (10 hours per night) every second week. You will play a fundamental role in ensuring that the young people you work with have the best possible experience in working towards their objectives in line with their care plan, supporting children to progress within their individual outcomes. Whilst not without its challenges and demands, this is a highly rewarding role, where the work we do has a demonstrable impact on each young person's progress. Using a person-centred approach, you will provide enabling support ensuring the highest level of physical, personal, and emotional care. We support young people who have epilepsy, need personal care and need gastrostomy feeding. Aberlour, in conjunction with NHS, provides all staff with training.

We are looking for candidates who have a passion for working with young people with disabilities. It is desired but not essential that candidates hold a relevant qualification at an SCQF level 7 or above. Due to SSSC requirements you may be required to gain qualifications after starting with Aberlour.

At Aberlour we want to make sure every child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they need to reach their potential. If you share the same vision, we want you to join our team.

As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and rewarded for the vital work they do.
