In partnership with professionals, carers, and organisations, you will help to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people.
The role will also include facilitating group opportunities for and with children and young people, including providing engagement and participation opportunities, both locally and nationally.
The post holder will raise awareness of Who Cares? Scotland and its services to children, young people, professionals, third sector partners and carers.
The right candidate for this post will be able to form positive relationships with children and young people and have good interpersonal skills. You will feel confident communicating with individuals and groups, both in writing and verbally, and be able to adapt your approach to a wide range of contexts. Secure in making effective plans, as well as evidencing your work, you will prioritize and meet deadlines. You will take enjoyment from working collaboratively with partners, believing in equal opportunities and inclusive working. Committed to children’s rights, you are someone who knows that all young people can make transformative changes happen in their lives if given the opportunity. You will have demonstrable knowledge of the current structures, developments, policy, and practice in relation to children and young people experiencing care in Scotland.
You will be flexible in your approach, be able to work occasional evening and weekends (with prior agreement), and have a full driving license, access to own transport and business insurance.
