About Options Dundee

Our Options Dundee Service works in partnership with families to offer tailored packages of support to help families to stay together.

The support we provide is based on the needs of the family and takes a variety of forms including supported morning and bedtime routines in the family homes and 1:1 sessions with children and young people to support them to access the community and a variety of groups we run.

This specialised service offered by Aberlour Options Dundee enables children and young people to grow and develop - accessing their local area, broadening their experiences and not just meeting their needs but supporting them to flourish.

The families we work with find our service invaluable - _"I don't know what I'd do without them.

I trust them, my child trusts them - we both feel safe when they're in the house They've changed my and my child's life"_.

What we are looking for....
We are looking to recruit a full time Family Worker to work 37.5 hours per week.

Our service is staffed 7 days a week between 7am and 10pm and shifts of varying duration would be offered between these times.

There may also occasionally be a need to provide additional supports out with these times.

We are looking for an energetic, creative and compassionate individual to join our friendly, supportive team.

We value skills such as providing children and young people with a wide range of fun activities and experiences to enrich their lives as well as supporting families to actively participate in shaping and defining the support we offer.

You will provide needs-led, person-centred support to children and families with a learning disability, or who have an autism spectrum condition with complex physical, learning and/or emotional needs, which can include supporting the family at home, in their local community or in schools.

You will hold, or be willing to work towards, a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above (for example, HNC in Social Services) together with relevant experience of working with children or young people.

You must also be able to demonstrate awareness of the key elements of working with people affected by disability as well as an understanding of, and commitment to, young people's rights.

Aberlour's values are critical and drive everything we do.

We will be looking for someone who can demonstrate how Aberlour's values of Respect, Innovation, Integrity and Challenge will be visible in their practice.
