About Options Moray    

Aberlour Options Moray is a community-based service for children/young people with learning disabilities offering residential, short breaks, family-based care and community support matched with the individual needs of every young person.

 

What we are looking for.... 

We have an opening for a Young People’s Worker working nightshift on a permanent basis.  Usual hours would be 33.25 hours per week working 4 nights on 4 nights off rota.  Shifts are from 10pm - 7.30am. 

 

Individuals need to bring a range of qualities to the role including being playful, warm and accepting and must be able to adapt their practice to appropriately meet the varying individual needs of each young person.  This role can be challenging but is also immensely rewarding and provides postholders with rich opportunities to develop their own practice and understanding of the needs of children and young people with disabilities.

 

You must be comfortable working in a culture based on respect, integrity, innovation and the ability to challenge - both yourself and other people.  We support our staff to be as effective as they can be through dedicated training and supervision.  In return our staff act as exceptional role models supporting the children and young people, as well as sharing knowledge and learning with colleagues. 

 

Ideally, you will have a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or above or be willing to work towards this requirement as per SSSC registration.

 

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.

 

What we offer... 

As well as a supportive team and excellent training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued and rewarded for the vital work they do.  When you work with us, we'll recognise your efforts with generous annual leave, an excellent employer pension scheme and a range of deals and discounts across various retailers.
