What we are
looking for....

We are looking to recruit a Family Support
Worker, working 37.5 hours per week on a fixed term basis until
31st March 2026. You will work directly with families to nurture
relationships, build on existing strengths and interests, help
children and families build skills and confidence and strengthen
community connections. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary
team that works for a period of up to 12 months with families to
support and enable positive change and improve outcomes. 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.



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. Experience of working within
other childcare settings such as Residential Child Care will be
considered.



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 $u this
will include early mornings, evenings, and weekends.



To succeed in this role, you will need to
work flexibly within a variety of locations across Glasgow City,
including family homes, schools, and community settings.



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
