About Aberlour Options Fife - Respite and Outreach
Options Fife Respite and Outreach provides a range of flexible support through outreach and overnight short breaks at
weekends, evenings and school holidays to children and young people with complex learning disabilities and
autism. We offer a high-quality child centred service providing positive and enabling experiences for the young
people, supporting them through the challenges and complexities that enable them to work towards their
individual outcomes and personal goals. We work closely with families and other professionals in providing
support tailored around the child’s plan.
What we are looking for....
We are looking to recruit two Young People’s Worker Nights, working four nights on (10 hours per night) every second
week. You will play a fundamental role in ensuring that the young people you work with have the best possible
experience in working towards their objectives in line with their care plan, supporting children to progress
within their individual outcomes. Whilst not without its challenges and demands, this is a highly rewarding
role, where the work we do has a demonstrable impact on each young person's progress. Using a person-centred
approach, you will provide enabling support ensuring the highest level of physical, personal, and emotional
care. We support young people who have epilepsy, need personal care and need gastrostomy feeding. Aberlour, in
conjunction with NHS, provides all staff with training.
We are looking for candidates who have a passion for working with young people with disabilities. It is desired but
not essential that candidates hold a relevant qualification at an SCQF level 7 or above. Due to SSSC
requirements you may be required to gain qualifications after starting with Aberlour.
At Aberlour we want to make sure every child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they need to
reach their potential. If you share the same vision, we want you to join our team.
What we offer...
As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and
rewarded for the vital work they do. When you work with us, we'll recognise your efforts with generous
annual leave, an excellent employer pension scheme and a range of deals and discounts across various retailers.
