Bluebird Birth Parent Project Support Worker (temporary)

- Hybrid: Edinburgh
- Closing 16th April 2025
We are looking for an experienced Support Worker with an understanding of the effects of intergenerational trauma. If you practice in a non-judgemental, non-stigmatising way, are tenacious and persistent in helping service users to overcome barriers to accessing support and understand the impact day to day of poor mental health then we want to hear from you.
We are delighted to have received a further 12 month funding for our Bluebird project working with parents who have lost permanent care of at least one child. We have been running Bluebird for three years now. The parents we support have told us that often they felt judged and alone at the point that they have had a child removed from their care and that they want a safe space to talk about their experiences where they won’t feel judged, where they can express their feelings and have these validated. They have told us that it doesn’t matter if it happened many years ago or more recently, the enduring sense of loss and isolation is the same.
We offer a range of support services that meets birth parents where they are at and that places an emphasis on nurture and connection.
We will provide a generous package of staff benefits including a Pension Scheme with Lothian Pension Fund, a Flexible Working Scheme and high-quality supervision and support.
