Jobs in Highland

In addition to this, Family Support Leads will support a small caseload of families in the same way as our Family Support Workers. These cases may be more complex in nature than our typical cases. In your Family Support Worker capacity, you will provide one-to-one holistic, information, advice and support to families across Highland via phone/email/online, supporting and enabling them to improve their lives by building their confidence, empowering them to recognise their personal expertise and value, implement practical support strategies, access services, know their rights, and have their voices heard.

About Aberlour Sycamore Children’s Houses

Aberlour Sycamore Services’ vision is to provide warm, loving homes for children where everyone learns, laughs, grows into their future and is treasured always. Sycamore services are widely recognised in Scotland for providing a range of quality therapeutic residential houses for some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the country. The Service is a national resource and as such receives referrals from throughout Scotland.

What we are looking for....

We are looking for people to join our relief pool who are passionate about supporting children and young people. The children and young people who live in our houses have experienced significant trauma in their young lives and our aim is to create loving, nurturing family homes where they feel safe and cared for.

Our relief workers play a crucial role in supporting our teams. This work is offered on a casual, hourly paid basis to provide cover during staff absence and/or particularly busy periods.

Members of our relief pool have a varied range of backgrounds and often work in different areas of the workforce. Although experience in child-care is ideal, we would also like to hear from people who may have skills from their work experience in different sectors which would be transferrable and provide a good basis from which to learn and develop their skills, utilising the range of training we provide.

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. Have a look at our values to understand more about what we are looking for from our employees.

Background

In 1999 Badenoch and Strathspey Community Transport Company was created by and for the people of this area to provide accessible transport. In 2022, recognising that, through our transport provision, we were providing a wider range of services, we rebranded and changed our name. More recently, we have refreshed our purpose, vision and mission.

Our purpose is to strengthen our community by providing accessible transport and wellbeing opportunities. Our work is regularly recognised at a national level, most recently in June 2025 at the Scottish Transport Awards. The organisation is growing and developing at pace, with further opportunities in the years ahead, so it is an exciting time to get involved and help shape our development. There will be several staff retirements during 2026 so a key part of this role will involve managing a successful handover with the outgoing member of staff. Full training will be provided.

BSCC is supported by eight part time staff and circa 80 volunteers, who all care passionately about our community.

Main Purpose of the Job:

The Finance Manager has two main roles: -

• Responsible for managing and ensuring the smooth running of financial processes, procedures, and bookkeeping for BSCC.
• Support the wider day to day running of the organisation.

The Fort Augustus and Glenmoriston Community Company is responsible for the distribution of community benefit funds. We do this through a grant funding programme but also the delivery of larger community projects. Our wider work includes a Community Caretaker team, affordable housing for local people, development of recreation spaces and running a community shop.

We are a dynamic organisation looking for an Operations Manager to lead the team in delivering the daily needs of the organisation. You will report to the Chief Officer and be supported by an established team.

You will be an experienced, hands on team manager with the ability to deal with a wide variety of daily demands. Your remit will include, but is not limited to, management of the grant programme, Tarff Trading operations, the Community Caretaker team, tenant management and the management of the portfolio of buildings owned by the Community Company. The work is varied and very rewarding.
