Current vacancies

Support Worker

  • Part time
  • £25,480 pro-rata
  • On site: Coatbridge
  • Closing 3rd April 2025

The AIMS Project works with young people aged 14-18 years with significant mental health issues and often particularly disadvantaged backgrounds.

As a result of mental illness and diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disability over 80% of the young people we work with are outwith mainstream Education, Training and Employment.

At AIMS we believe in the potential of these young people.

We run three Programmes;

  • REACH – a mental health support group – up to 3 days a week
  • THRIVE – a highly supportive Stage 1 Personal Development Programme – 3-4 days and week
  • Rise – a youth club which operated 2 sessions a week

Our Projects offer small group activities and high staff ratios. Overall, we aim to support young people to realise their own potential and to start to develop their own aspirations. We also aim to support young people to confidently use public transport, communicate effectively, make friendships and develop the courage to try new things.

All our Projects incorporate a huge range of outdoor education, visits and activities, designed broaden horizons and push boundaries.

We are currently seeking to recruit an additional Support Worker at 24 hours a week. The Support Worker will work across our Projects for up to 4 days a week.

No prior experience is required, however the post is subject to PVG Membership. We are seeking people with empathy, enthusiasm, a motivational and nurturing approach to the needs of our young people, and a willingness to take part in all activities offered.
