Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Edinburgh and Dundee with National digital and helpline services.
The Employability Support Worker will be responsible to the Regional Coordinator / Employment Lead and will work as a
member of OPFS Employability Service, to provide employability services for single parents in Angus / Dundee to
support them to secure employment, education or training.
Please Note: While the initial focus will be on delivering services in Angus, if funding is not secured beyond
31/03/25, the role may require working out of Dundee. We are committed to supporting our staff through any
transitions and ensuring continuity of service delivery. The closest OPFS office for this role is located in
Dundee, but the majority of the work will take place in the field in Angus (specific focus on Arbroath and
Forfar).
