Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Barnardo's Caern Disability Services consists of 3 unique Projects who deliver a variety of quality services for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism.

We have done this for over forty years.

At the Caern Short Breaks Service, we support up to 5 children and young people aged 5-18 by offering respite and short break packages to them and their families.
Working primarily in the residential setting you will promote the happiness, safety and welfare of the young people.

You will play an active role in supporting the children and young people and their families/carers to achieve positive outcomes, as identified in the Young People's Individual Support Plans.

You will work on a rota of WAKING nights shifts (including weekends) normally worked over 10 hours. Full time working is 40 hours and part-time hours may be considered.

About You


We are looking for Residential Project Workers who have experience in working directly with children and young people, ideally in a residential setting.

Experience in supporting children and young people with a learning disability and/or Autism would be an advantage. Communication with the young people is paramount - the key is time tabling; structure; reliability and consistency. You will be faced with behaviours that challenge, including physical.


Ideally, you will hold (or be willing to work towards) a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above (for example SVQ3 children and young people)
plus an HNC in social services.

These qualifications are required to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) as part of your employment.
