FEL Scotland is looking for a Family Liaison Officer - Transport to Employment.

This project recognises that transport is often a barrier that prevents parents from working or training. As Family Liaison Officer, you will work directly with parents and carers who want to work or undergo training but are held back by transport problems. Working closely with our School Active Travel Hub Officers, employability services and family support partners, you will help provide practical, short term transport support where transport is the missing link to employment.

This role has three main aims. You will help parents get to work or training by solving transport problems; support wider child poverty reduction by improving family income and stability; and generate learning about what transport support works and how it can be embedded in future services.

We are looking for someone with strong people skills and the ability to work sensitively with families and understand the challenges they may face. Experience linked to employability, family support, transport access, schools or community hubs would be valuable, but we welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds.

You will be based mainly in schools and community settings across Clackmannanshire and Grangemouth, working closely with School Active Travel Hub Officers, employability services and family support partners. You may occasionally work evenings or weekends to support families.

We offer a supportive and flexible working environment, generous annual leave, pension contribution, training opportunities and family-friendly policies.
