You will support parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people by providing high-quality, person-centred information, advice and support. Parents and carers come to us about neurodevelopmental conditions, rights and responsibilities, pathways and services, communicating with professionals and their own wellbeing.

You will hold a personal caseload, working with parents and carers to identify their goals, build a plan to reach them, and develop the confidence and skills to speak up for their child independently. Your approach will be coaching-based, non-judgemental and trauma-informed at all times. Support is delivered mainly by phone, text and email, with in-person support and attendance at meetings where needed; you may also facilitate peer support and information sessions for groups.

You will be an experienced practitioner with a background in health, education, social care, coaching, advice, advocacy, or a related field. You will be an excellent communicator, able to build trusting relationships with parents and carers while holding clear boundaries, and to work effectively with professionals across health, education and social care.

This post may occasionally require evening and/or weekend work, and some travel across Edinburgh and the Lothians to support parents and carers in person. Therefore, the ability to travel independently is essential.

This is a key role in our Whole Family Support Fund programme. We are recruiting Family Advisors for the following hub areas:

• Glasgow
• Lanarkshire
• Highlands and Islands
• East & Midlothian
• Dumfries and Galloway

You’ll hold a personal caseload, providing information, advice and practical and emotional support to families raising neurodivergent children and young people. You’ll work directly with families; facilitate group sessions; and help families navigate education, health, and social care.

This is a new role in our Whole Family Support Fund programme. You will plan, design and deliver peer support groups and social activities for families raising neurodivergent children and young people, across our hub areas in Scotland.

You’ll facilitate groups both online and in person, creating spaces where families can meet others in similar situations, share experiences, and build confidence. You’ll work with our locality teams to design an offer that reflects what families in each area have asked for, and you’ll be supported by volunteers in running sessions.

You will be an experienced group facilitator with a background in peer support, skilled at managing group dynamics and at creating accessible, neuroinclusive spaces that work for parents, carers and neurodivergent people.

Groups may run outside standard office hours, so this post may involve evening and occasional weekend work, along with travel across the delivery areas.
