Be part of a community for young people.

Dean & Cauvin Young People’s Trust is one of Scotland’s oldest children’s charities, rooted in nearly 300 years of care, connection and support. We believe every young person, young parent and baby deserves to grow up safe, loved, respected and with every opportunity to thrive.

Role:

Based in our Wellbeing Hub in West Edinburgh, you will lead a skilled team who provide a range of practical, social and emotional 1:1, group and whole-family support to children, young people and families who have experiences of care to help them:

• Move on from residential living to independent life and living in the community
• Develop healthy relationships, connections and mental wellbeing
• Build confidence, education, skills and training
• Be confident and supportive young parents

Our team work closely with:

• Our residential house teams in North and East Edinburgh to provide additional support to the young people, young parents and babies living alongside us to further develop their social and community connections
• Young people who have lived with us and are now requiring ongoing support in the community or supported living in one of our community Transition flats
• Young people and families from the wider care community and young people in our fostering households who require support.

We work together with families, social work, health services and other colleagues to keep the strengths, aspirations and voice of children, young people and families at the heart of all we do while ensuring their safety and welfare is always maintained.

The Team Leader role is pivotal to this. Tasked with the day-to-day operations of the Community & Transition team, Wellbeing Hub and Transition flats, you are expected to lead, support and supervise a small staff team to create a culture of nurture and community for young people, young parents, babies and families.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and supervise a team delivering trauma informed, developmentally attuned direct practice
• Oversee all Wellbeing Hub activities, ensuring it remains a safe, inclusive relational and engaging environment
• Coordinate referrals, assessments and care planning using GIRFEC and rights based principles
• Strengthen connections between the Hub, residential houses, foster carers and community flats
• Oversee support being delivered to our transition flats and that it aligns with Care Inspectorate guidelines.
• Work with Team Leaders across our services to model integrated, developmentally attuned care

Investing in You

If you are someone who can make a real difference for children, young people and families—and bring experience from social work, youth, community or family support—then we would love to hear from you.

As a Team Leader, you will support our on call rota, including some weekend work, with additional payments provided.

We are deeply committed to investing in our people. You will have access to a wide range of professional development opportunities, including:

• Fully funded SVQ 4 in Social Services (Children & Young People)
• Regular supervision and reflective consultation
• Ongoing training and development aligned with our organisational practice
• Access to Employee Benefit Scheme

Our Complaints Reviewers play a key role in our work, analysing and resolving complaints across a wide range of sectors including councils, NHS, housing associations, most water and sewerage providers, the Scottish Government and its agencies and departments, colleges and universities, prisons, and most Scottish public bodies.

To be successful in this role, you will have a lively analytical mind and the sound judgement needed to make fair, consistent and just decisions. You will be able to demonstrate first class customer service through your empathetic but impartial approach. Your excellent communication skills will enable you to effectively liaise with complainants, bodies under our jurisdiction, MSPs and other stakeholder groups and to draft reports that are often complex and detailed. You must have previous complaints handling and/or dispute resolution experience and ideally you will have experience of one or more of the Ombudsman’s areas of jurisdiction.
