About Options Aberdeen


Our service has been developed in partnership with Aberdeen City Council and Grampian Autistic Society and provides a mix of care at home, community and residential short breaks.

Our exciting programme enables children with complex disabilities to have new experiences and make new friends.

At the same time, their families are enabled to have a crucial break to recharge and refresh their batteries enabling them to maintain the high level of support their children need when they return home from their short break.

The Hub also provides holistic family support through a menu of services that support and complement direct support offered to children and young people.

Working with the children is not a 'quick fix' but a long-term endeavour supporting them to make small incremental change that over time becomes significant.

The role is challenging but also immensely rewarding.

What we are looking for....
Are you committed to delivering best practice to support children and young people with complex needs?

Are you ready to use your experience and skill to shape practice in delivering quality services to children and young people?

Do you feel excited about the opportunity to take your first step towards a management position?

If so, this is a great opportunity for you.


We are looking to recruit a Lead Practitioner working a range of shifts including evenings, weekends and sleepovers in a residential child care setting.

You will have the confidence to guide and direct the provision of care to the children and young people in the service.

You will play a pivotal role, working in partnership with parents and families to meet the emotional and physical needs of children and young people with complex disabilities.


When on shift, you will play a lead role, mentoring and supporting staff and being a role model, delivering excellence in the services we provide.

You will assist in assessing, planning and delivering services, taking responsibility for ensuring that assessment and interventions are prepared, monitored and evaluated in line with the children's and young people's goals.


Engaging positively with children, young people and families you will plan and implement appropriate support for the children and young people.

Sensitive and accurate reporting is a key responsibility and so you will have good written communication skills and the ability to learn how to use effectively, Aberlour's recording system:
Dynamics.

What we offer...


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.

When you work with us, we'll recognise your efforts with generous annual leave, an excellent employer pension scheme and a range of deals and discounts across various retailers.


Aberlour is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all our service users and uses a thorough and rigorous recruitment and selection process including PVG Scheme checks to ensure this commitment is not compromised.

We also follow data protection guidelines - privacy policy.
