Living our values, you will help create a workplace where our people can thrive, ensuring we deliver the best possible support to children and families.
With love, we put children first.
With purpose, we transform lives together.
With strength, we do whatever it takes to protect Scotland’s children.
We are looking for motivated and compassionate individuals who can work well independently in a fast-paced environment to join LinkLiving as a Support Worker within our Edinburgh Young Persons’ Service.
The Job
In this role, you will support young people aged 16 to 25 who are affected by homelessness, trauma, or other life challenges. Some of these young people may face additional difficulties associated with being a New Scot or having a care background. You will manage your own caseload and work flexibly to meet the needs of each individual. Using a person-centred and trauma-informed approach, you will build positive relationships with young people and provide practical, emotional and social support to help them move towards greater independence and achieve their personal goals.
Support will include helping young people to find and sustain suitable accommodation, develop everyday living skills, manage challenges in their lives, build confidence, and take positive steps towards a better future, while working closely with other professionals involved in their lives. Young people may be living in temporary accommodation, sofa surfing, in LinkLiving supported flats, be in permanent accommodation, or have no place to stay. You will work flexibly and creatively to meet their individual needs, offering support in a way that recognises each young person’s strengths, aspirations and potential.
We are looking for someone who shares our values of empathy, respect, integrity and caring, and who is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of young people. Previous experience or formal qualifications are not essential for this role. If you are a good communicator, committed to supporting others, and want to be part of a supportive and trauma-informed team, we would love to hear from you.
The Service
LinkLiving is a Scottish health and wellbeing charity that supports people to manage or overcome the effects of negative life experiences (including trauma, mental health challenges, poverty and inequality) so that they can build on their strengths and aspirations in order to live their best possible lives.
Our Edinburgh Young Persons’ Service provides visiting housing support and supported accommodation for young people aged 16 to 25 across Edinburgh. We are a friendly, supportive team of around 20 people with a wide range of ages and experience, all committed to helping young people achieve their goals. The role is highly rewarding, but it can also be challenging. You will need to be flexible and confident working one-to-one with young people who may find it difficult to trust professionals. No two days are the same, and while you will have the chance to make a real difference, you will also need to work hard to engage the young people on your caseload in the support they need.
