Geeza Break is a long established, unique social care organisation providing family support, peer support, group work and a planned respite service for children, young people and their families in the local community. We predominantly deliver services in and across the Northeast of Glasgow.
We provide a high quality, person centred, trauma informed service for children and young people ages 0-16 years, often with disabilities and additional support or learning needs, and their families. The charity has been operational since 1992, and we remain committed to retaining a holistic, non-judgemental and inclusive approach and ethos to our services.
The post holder will work directly with parents, carers, and where appropriate children to strengthen family relationships. The successful candidate will provide practical and emotional support to families to support and improve parenting capacity, and promote safer, healthier lifestyles and positive wellbeing outcomes.
We are a learning organisation promoting training and professional development opportunities, peer support for reflective practice sharing as well as regular support and supervision sessions, within a nurturing and welcoming team.
The charity offers competitive annual leave and public holiday allocation, alongside an additional Winter Wellbeing Day as a non-contractual benefit to staff members in recognition of the requirements of delivering high-quality social care in the community.
