We are looking for individuals who can partner sensitively with families and are able to build meaningful relationships with families and other professionals to achieve better outcomes for children. 

As part of transforming service delivery this post could involve working evenings or weekends, in line with the needs of the service. The post holders will require to be responsive to the needs of the service, and demonstrate flexibility in their ability to responding to changing need. 

This is a time limited post (until 31st March 2027) in line with the Scottish Government Whole Family Wellbeing Monies, with the potential for extension in future depending on the release of further funds.
