Role

About Options Dundee

Our Options Dundee service works in partnership with families offering tailored packages of support to help families stay together. Based on the needs of the family, this includes supporting morning and bedtime routines in the family’s home and offering a variety of sessions and groups for children and young people which also help them to access activities in the community.

This specialised service enables the children and young people to grow and develop – access their local area, broaden their experiences and provide new opportunities which not only meet their needs but encourage them to flourish in a safe nurturing way.

The difference we make to families:

Families we work with find our support invaluable “I don’t know what I’d do without them. I trust them, my child trusts them – we both feel safe when they’re in the house…..They’ve changed me and my child’s life.”

We know how difficult it can be managing your work/life balance, and so we are offering flexible hours to work at weekends either on a Saturday or a on a Sunday or working on both days at the weekend. Work hours would range from 5 hours to 15 hours.

Please specify in your supporting statement the work pattern and hours you are looking for.

At Aberlour we want to make sure every child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they need to reach their potential. If you share the same vision, we want you to join our team.
