An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our newly developed Staying Connected Service providing quality family time for siblings who have been separated due to family circumstances and the care system. Alongside Aberdeenshire Council, our vision is to establish a mobile resource which can transform venues in the heart of our local communities into places where siblings, separated by family circumstances and by the care system, can regularly come together to share experiences and have fun.

This unique role offers a chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of these children and young people, providing them with the vital support they need. By joining our team, you will play a crucial part in reuniting and maintaining sibling relationships by coordinating and facilitating regular family time. This will involve liaising with various stakeholders, including adoptive families, kinship carers, and social workers. Your exceptional organisational skills and attention to detail will be essential in ensuring the smooth and successful execution of these sibling interactions.

To excel in this role, you should possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as you will be working closely with a diverse range of individuals. Your ability to empathise and understand the unique challenges faced by Brothers and Sisters in the care system will be crucial in providing them with the necessary support and guidance.

If you are passionate about making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children and believe in the importance of maintaining sibling connections, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
