This is a new role in our Whole Family Support Fund programme. You will plan, design and deliver peer support groups and social activities for families raising neurodivergent children and young people, across our hub areas in Scotland.

You’ll facilitate groups both online and in person, creating spaces where families can meet others in similar situations, share experiences, and build confidence. You’ll work with our locality teams to design an offer that reflects what families in each area have asked for, and you’ll be supported by volunteers in running sessions.

You will be an experienced group facilitator with a background in peer support, skilled at managing group dynamics and at creating accessible, neuroinclusive spaces that work for parents, carers and neurodivergent people.

Groups may run outside standard office hours, so this post may involve evening and occasional weekend work, along with travel across the delivery areas.

Organisation profile

Founded on lived experience, Mindroom champions all forms of neurodiversity and supports all kinds of minds. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for neurodivergent people by removing barriers, increasing opportunities, and shaping a more accessible world.

Mindroom is currently unable to offer employment for this position through visa sponsorship. Where applicable, candidates must hold the relevant documentation evidencing the right to work in the UK.

You will support parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people by providing high-quality, person-centred information, advice and support. Parents and carers come to us about neurodevelopmental conditions, rights and responsibilities, pathways and services, communicating with professionals and their own wellbeing.

You will hold a personal caseload, working with parents and carers to identify their goals, build a plan to reach them, and develop the confidence and skills to speak up for their child independently. Your approach will be coaching-based, non-judgemental and trauma-informed at all times. Support is delivered mainly by phone, text and email, with in-person support and attendance at meetings where needed; you may also facilitate peer support and information sessions for groups.

You will be an experienced practitioner with a background in health, education, social care, coaching, advice, advocacy, or a related field. You will be an excellent communicator, able to build trusting relationships with parents and carers while holding clear boundaries, and to work effectively with professionals across health, education and social care.

This post may occasionally require evening and/or weekend work, and some travel across Edinburgh and the Lothians to support parents and carers in person. Therefore, the ability to travel independently is essential.

This is a key role in our Whole Family Support Fund programme. You’ll be the first person families, young people and professionals speak to when they contact Mindroom.

You’ll take their initial information, direct them to the right service for their needs, arrange appointments, and record every enquiry accurately in our database. You’ll also provide administrative support to the Direct Support Services team across the hubs, including scheduling, minute-taking and helping to produce and distribute resources.

You will be an experienced administrator with excellent communication skills, warmth and empathy, strong organisational skills and real attention to detail. You will be confident with databases and Microsoft Office, and comfortable handling confidential personal information. Some knowledge of neurodiversity is essential.

The post is home-based, with attendance at our Edinburgh office when required. Occasional evening work may be required.
