About Options Aberdeen
Options Aberdeen was developed by a dynamic partnership of Aberlour working with Aberdeen City Council and Grampian Autistic Society. Providing a mix of residential short breaks, care at home and care in the community. We offer services that best suit the needs of the children and young people we support.

When their child is with us, parents and families can relax in the knowledge that their child is getting the best possible nurturing care in a 'home from home' environment.

This maximises the benefit they gain whilst they get a crucial break to recharge and refresh their batteries enabling them to provide the needed high level of support for their child when they return home from their short break.

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

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.

Options Aberdeen has a strong reputation and as part of the team, staff who already have some experience will be supported to consolidate and build on their skills enhancing their ability to take advantage of any future new opportunities and challenges.


Family feedback:
- "Aberlour Options Aberdeen for us has been a godsend. Our lives have changed at home. They listen to your views and try and help with whatever is the problem." Parent._


What we are looking for....


If you are looking for a new challenge and to build on your existing experience and skills you will be supported to do this within an inclusive team.

Our Lead Practitioners provide guidance and mentoring which will enable you, as an individual, to build your confidence and enhance your skills resulting in excellent service delivery for the children and young people we support.

We are looking for individuals who, ideally, can bring their own experience and skills to complement those of our team.

But if you are starting out in your social childcare career, you will also be a welcome addition to the team and in return for your commitment and hard work we will support your development in the role.

You will be enthusiastic, motivated and a caring individual who will contribute to the development of care and support plans, working in a child centred outcomes focused manner to ensure that children, young people and their families get the most out of their service.

You will work closely with internal and external colleagues in a multi-agency approach to ensure that the holistic needs of children, young people and families are central to service provision.

We are particularly looking for workers who have health care experience, knowledge and skills to support children and young people with complex health needs within their own homes.


We have one full time, 37.5 hour post, worked over a 24 hour period 5 days out of 7, including evenings, weekends and overnights.


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.
