Role

Stepping Stones North Edinburgh, Circle, Home-Start Edinburgh, Home Link Family Support, NHS Lothian’s Parent and Infant Relationship Service (PAIRS), Citizens Advice and Early Years Education are delighted to recruit staff for a new transformational partnership approach that will test bespoke holistic whole family supports throughout the early years.

The project will ensure that appropriate, universal, and enhanced support is available at the earliest stage possible for all families with a child not yet in an ELC or of a pre-school age setting. This will be prioritised by developing a cohesive pathway and menu of supports alongside families.

The project aims to:

  • Improve family wellbeing
  • Reduce inequalities in family wellbeing
  • Long-term reduction in families requiring crisis intervention
  • Long-term reduction in the number of children living away from their families
  • Increase the number of families taking up wider support.

We are recruiting staff to work across the 4 localities of Edinburgh. Posts are funded for 24 months.

We are looking for individuals with experience of working with children in their early years and their families delivering offering a wide range of interventions in the community and family homes including one to one and group work support. Occasional weekend or evening work may be required as the project develops to ensure equity of access for all families.
