Barnardo's Stronger Families service offers an exciting opportunity to join an established team who are developing Attachment and Trauma Informed Practice models of working to deliver services to families with children aged 0-13 yrs of age in the Fife area.
Barnardo's has been established in Fife for over 20 years and our work with children and families has been a consistent feature of our services in Fife and Stronger Families intensive support service has been in existence for seveal years.
Families are referred to our service by the family social worker and live in the Fife area and at the point of referral to our service the families are often on the verge of family breakdown.
Our Stronger Families service is a robust service, and you will be required to work intensively with families and alongside our partner agencies to support children, young people and families to work towards better outcomes and ensure that, where possible relationships within the home improve and that children can safely remain at home.
Due to the intensive nature of our support your caseload will not be high and by working at this intensive level it allows for opportunities to build good professional relationships with the families and through the support given there would be hope that the family could affect meaningful and sustainable change.
Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours. More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.

The SCVO Charity of the Year winner, Fife Young Carers, is seeking a dynamic Fundraising Manager to lead and deliver its fundraising strategy. Join our team and make a difference – where all carers are heroes!
Who are we?
Fife Young Carers (FYC) is dedicated to improving the lives of young carers across Fife, offering vital support to children and young people who have taken on caring responsibilities for family members. Our work spans educational support, mental health services, respite care, and community engagement, ensuring that these young individuals can thrive despite the challenges they face. As FYC continues to grow, we are now seeking a passionate and innovative Fundraising Manager to join our team and deliver on its strategy to securing sustainable funding.
What will you do as Fundraising Manager?
Following a fundraising audit and strategy assessment, you will take the lead in delivering FYC’s fundraising strategy to support its mission and objectives. You will be at the forefront of our efforts to secure financial support for both immediate projects and long-term sustainability, using strategic methods and effective tactics to grow FYC’s income streams.
Collaborating closely with the CEO, you will play a key role in expanding our fundraising efforts, particularly in building corporate partnerships and securing grants from trusts and grants, ensuring FYC remains a leading charity in the community backed by a strong and sustainable financial foundation.
What we’re looking for:
We are seeking an experienced and dynamic fundraiser with a passion for making a difference in the lives of young carers. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of securing corporate partnerships, winning trust and foundation grants, and delivering successful fundraising strategies.
With strong communication skills, you will be adept at building lasting relationships with key stakeholders and funders, and possess the creativity and strategic thinking required to develop innovative campaigns. You’ll have the organisational skills to manage multiple projects simultaneously and the drive to meet ambitious income targets.
We are seeking to recruit an enthusiastic and commited residential project worker to join our short breaks service. We have a full time waking nights shift position available working on a rota basis, including weekends.
About Caern:
Barnardo's Caern Disability Services consists of three unique Projects who deliver a variety of quality services for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. We have done this for over forty years.
Our Caern Short Breaks service supports up to 5 children and young people at any one time aged 5-18 by offering short break respite packages to them and their families. All staff play an active role in supporting the children, young people and their families/carers to achieve positive outcomes, as identified in the Young People's Individual Support Plans.
About You:
Ideally you will have experience in working directly with children and young people in a similar setting. Experience in supporting children and young people with a learning disability and/or Autism would be an advantage. Communication with the young people is paramount - the key is time tabling; structure; reliability and consistency. You will be faced with behaviours that challenge, including physical.
The staff team across Caern Services must be fully accepting of our children and be prepared to offer them a professional relationship based on acceptance and informed by our understanding of their individual needs, wishes and experiences. We are passionate about the children and young people that we care for, showing understanding, empathy and consistency in our approach.
You will hold (or be willing to work towards) a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above (for example SVQ3 children and young people) plus an HNC in social services. These qualifications are required to register with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) as part of your employment. There may be external grants available to partly fund this.
