Why this role matters

Families are facing increasing pressure, including poverty, online harm and emotional distress. Our support line is often the first-place people turn.

Your work will help ensure that:

• children are safer
• families feel listened to and supported
• people get the right help at the right time

What we are looking for

• A relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 9 such as social work, health, education or community education
• Experience supporting children, young people or families facing challenges
• Experience of supervising or supporting others, including staff or volunteers
• Strong listening skills and the ability to respond with empathy and clarity
• The ability to manage risk and make sound decisions under pressure
• Confidence working in a fast-paced environment

What you can expect from us

• A supportive, inclusive team where your wellbeing matters
• A strong focus on learning, reflection and development
• 40 days annual leave (pro rata)
• Contributory pension scheme

• Flexible working options

Our values

You will be part of a team that lives its values every day:

With love, we put children first with compassion and kindness

With purpose, we work together to transform children’s lives

With strength, we do whatever it takes to protect Scotland’s children

We are looking for an individual with the passion and commitment to provide high-quality one-to-one and group support for women who have experienced, or are experiencing, domestic abuse.

You will join a dedicated team of Women, Family, Children and Young People Practitioners who bring a wealth of skills and experience to their roles and take pride in delivering timely, effective, and person-centred support to those who use our services.

If you have a strong commitment to this area of work; if you value integrity, compassion, and teamwork; if you want to work in an inclusive and supportive environment; and if you have a feminist understanding of domestic abuse and its causes and impacts, then this could be the next career opportunity for you.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Background

In 1999 Badenoch and Strathspey Community Transport Company was created by and for the people of this area to provide accessible transport.

More recently, we have refreshed our purpose, vision and mission.

Our purpose is to strengthen our community by providing accessible transport and wellbeing opportunities. Our work is regularly recognised at a national level, most recently in June 2025 at the Scottish Transport Awards. The organisation is growing and developing at pace, with further opportunities in the years ahead, so it is an exciting time to get involved and help shape our development.
