You will work directly with neurodivergent children and young people up to age 25, providing person-centred support including 1:1 issue-based information, advice, advocacy, coaching, and support with transitions. Support is delivered through in-person sessions, virtual meetings, phone calls, email, and text, and as the service develops, the role may also involve working with small groups.

You will work with children and young people to develop plans that promote positive outcomes and uphold their rights. This includes helping them understand their neurotype and identify their strengths, challenges, and support needs, so they can communicate these effectively and be well supported across their lives. You will also help develop resources and contribute to service development.

You will be an excellent communicator, able to adapt your approach to build strong, trusting relationships with neurodivergent children and young people, and to engage effectively with a range of stakeholders.

This post may occasionally require evening and/or weekend work and will involve significant travel across Edinburgh and the Lothians. This is a hybrid role, combining home working, community settings, and attending our Edinburgh office when required.

This is a key role in our Whole Family Support Fund programme, and you will lead the establishment and development of three hubs across Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and the North of Scotland.

The hubs are at different stages of development, so you'll balance starting up a new hub with growing those already under development. You'll line manage three Family Support Leads and our Money Advisor, oversee service delivery, manage the programme, build local partnerships, and manage monitoring and evaluation across the hub areas.

You will be a highly experienced manager and an excellent communicator, able to build strong, trusting relationships with families and engage effectively with a range of stakeholders.
