About Aberlour Early Intervention Family Support
Service Glasgow

Our Aberlour Early Intervention Family
Support Service, based in Glasgow will work in partnership with
children and young people (aged 12 years and under) and their
families to develop relationship-based, strengths-focused whole
family support.

What we are looking for....

We are looking to recruit two Family
Support Workers each working 37.5 hours per week, fixed term
until 31st March 2026. As a Family Support Worker you will
develop a person-centred working relationship with your families,
based on a model of 'VOICE, VALIDATION and HOPE'. As a Family
Support Worker, you will work directly with families to build on
their existing strengths and interests, help children and
families build skills and confidence and strengthen community
connections. Our ambition is to help children, young people and
families feel safe, confident, capable, and included, offering
support when it is needed, including evenings and weekends. We
believe in working alongside families, empowering them to lead
positive change in their own lives in a variety of settings
including family homes, schools, and within the community.



We are looking for candidates who are
experienced in working alongside vulnerable families to assess
strengths and needs as well as plan, deliver and evaluate
interventions and strategies which enable families to thrive.
You will have experience of child and adult protection issues and
of working with children, young people and parents/carers
affected by domestic abuse, mental health and/or substance
misuse. You must share our vision that collaborative working and
relationship based early intervention is the best option for
children and families who are feeling overwhelmed or
excluded.



Ideally you will hold a relevant
professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above, together
with relevant experience of working directly with children or
young people and their families.



Not afraid to test new ways of working, you
will bring a fresh, caring, and collaborative approach which
recognises strengths and responds empathically to the needs of
children, young people, and their families -this will include
early mornings, evenings, and weekend work.

looking for in candidates here.

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. To have a look at our values to
