To promote the rights of children and young people in accordance with the UNCRC; to provide advocacy and support to neurodivergent children and young people; to ensure that the views of children and young people referred to Salvesen Mindroom Centre are taken into account in decisions that materially affect them; to develop materials and resources suitable for children and young people.
The charity is based in Edinburgh but the Direct Help and Support (DHS) service in which this role sits, covers the whole of Scotland. Due to growing demand for our services in West/South West Scotland, we wish to appoint a team member who can easily manage travel within, broadly, North and South Lanarkshire, North and South Ayrshire and potentially Dumfries & Galloway. The role primarily involves providing support to children and young people using a mix of online and in-person communication. The post will be hybrid, mainly home-based. Some travel to Salvesen Mindroom Centre’s office(s) will be required. During induction for the role, we will require a more frequent presence in our Edinburgh office.
