About Aberlour's Family Advice and Community Connection Service
We provide early support and tailored advice to families who may feel they have become stuck or who need information, guidance, signposting, or referrals to other services. This specific post will have a main focus of supporting minority families and those with no recourse to public funds, who are facing additional barriers to accessing support. All families with children under the age of 18 living in Perth and Kinross can contact us directly to access our service. We work alongside families from diverse nationalities and ethnic backgrounds to offer personalised, culturally responsive support on family matters when they need it most, in locations that suit them, while recognising and addressing the specific challenges faced by those with restricted access to public funds.
What we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced, adaptable individual who can bring fresh, innovative and flexible approaches to family support. Working 37.5 hours per week, applicants must be flexible in order to deliver support at times that meet the families and communities needs, which may include out of hours (early mornings, evenings and weekends).
You will work alongside statutory and other agencies to achieve positive outcomes for children, young people, and their families. You are someone who will have strong communication, teamwork, planning and decision making skills, along with a compassionate nature to understand the necessity of best practice and thrive on helping children and families overcome the challenges presented by everyday modern life.
