East Dunbartonshire Women’s Aid’s Children and Young People team provide vital support to children dealing with the trauma of domestic abuse and leaving their home. They ensure that children are given a service which is driven by them and meets their needs. The service includes 1-1 therapeutic support, prevention work and free-play sessions.

This is an outreach post and you will work closely with a job-share partner to provide therapeutic 1-1 support to children and young people across East Dunbartonshire who are living with the impact of domestic abuse.
