About UsWe believe every child deserves a safe, supportive and nurturing home. Our Support Staff play a vital role in providing that stability for children and young people who, for various reasons, cannot live with their families. A good Team Leader is key to a successful team.

Many of the children we support have experienced trauma or difficult life events. That’s why we’re looking for compassionate, resilient and empowering individuals who can help them heal, grow, and flourish.

This is a challenging role at times – but it’s also one of the most rewarding. If you want to make a lasting difference in a young person’s life, we’ll give you the tools and support to do just that.

- Working knowledge of childcare related legislation, health and social care standards and national guidelines.
- Full UK manual driving licence

If you've ticked the boxes above then you could be exactly who we're looking for

What We OfferWe’ll invest in you as much as you invest in the children you support. Here’s what you’ll get:

- Full induction and specialist training
- Support to gain professional qualifications (SVQ4)
- Competitive salary plus sleepover allowance
- £500 Welcome Bonus paid on successful completion of probation
- £1000 Refer A Friend scheme
- Permanent, full-time contract for job security
- Access to employee assistance programme and pension scheme
- Ongoing career development and progression opportunities

We’ll also cover the cost of your PVG check with Disclosure Scotland and support you to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).
