Employability Opportunities

The Scottish Government has identified tackling child poverty as a priority, with employability forming a key part of this. The Parental Employability Support Fund (PESF) provides support for parents to progress into employment and support low-income parents to progress within work. PESF offers support to a range of parents from priority groups and provides personalized support for parents who face barriers to progressing within the labour market, including help to gain qualifications, improving skills or work experience; money advice and motivational support.

Key Worker Approach

We are looking for a highly motivated individual to support parents to upskill and/or retrain and increase family income through a wide range of employability interventions. Taking a holistic key worker approach, staff will work closely with parents to understand their needs and provide tailored support.

Regulated Work

This post is considered regulated work with children and protected adults, under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. It is an offence to apply if you are barred from working with children and protected adults. In addition, if you have lived or worked in any country outside the UK in the past 10 years, there may be a requirement for an overseas police check.

Employer Commitment

As an employer, we are committed to promoting and protecting the physical and mental health of all our employees. We offer a supportive and inclusive work environment that values diversity and promotes equality.
