About Aberlour Guardianship Scotland


Guardianship Scotland is a specialist statutory service providing Independent Child Trafficking Guardians (ICTG) to all unaccompanied asylum seeking children, victims of trafficking and children vulnerable to trafficking who arrive in Scotland.

We deliver this in partnership with Aberlour and Scottish Refugee Council on behalf of the Scottish Government.

The children and young people we help in Guardianship have been through unimaginable traumas. Now, they must cope with being apart from their families in a strange, new country.

They face language and cultural barriers, and they enter complex systems which include the welfare, asylum and trafficking processes which are very complicated, and it can be difficult for them to understand.


We support young people to understand these processes, stand by the young peoples' side throughout these processes, support them to access the help they need and advocate when needed to ensure their views are clearly listened to.

Our guardians support the young people to make informed decisions about their future and to settle into a new life in Scotland.


Could you be the person to support children to navigate complex processes and feel empowered throughout? We have an exciting opportunity for you to join our team.


What we are looking for....


Due to service expansion we are looking to recruit 9 Guardian's who will be based throughout Scotland -2 based in Aberdeen, 1 in Inverness, 2 in Edinburgh and 4 in Glasgow.

This service is Scotland wide and you will at times be required to travel to other Local Authorities.

You will work 37.5 hours per week, these hours will be worked in line with the needs of the young people and service and may include evenings and weekends.


You will have experience of working with young people and children, dealing with child/adult protection issues, experience of advocacy work, inter-agency and partnership working and a good knowledge or experience of the asylum systems.


At Aberlour we want to make sure every child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they need to reach their potential.

If you share the same vision, we want you to join our team.


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.
