Aberlour is Scotland’s leading children’s charity. Our strategy is to be bold and brave, to ensure that every child in Scotland has an equal chance.
As an organisation we are ambitious to deliver real and lasting change for children, young people and families.
We are proud of the support, care and love we provide to children and young people across our children’s houses and we recognise there is more we can do. That’s why we have embarked on an ambitious re-modelling programme which will build on the strong foundations of the quality of care we provide and create models of care for the future, designed around the needs of children, young people and families.
We are committed to doing all we can to support children, young people and families - recover and heal from trauma and adversity, remain as part of their family/community where possible, recognise their strengths and achieve their hopes and aspirations.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead lasting and meaningful change for children, young people and families across Scotland
