The AIMS Project works with young people aged 14-18 years with significant mental health issues and often particularly disadvantaged backgrounds.
As a result of mental illness and diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disability, over 80% of the young people we work with are outwith mainstream Education, Training and Employment.
At AIMS we believe in the potential of these young people.
We run three Programmes:
* REACH – a mental health support group – up to 3 days a week
* THRIVE – a highly supportive Stage 1 Personal Development Programme – 3-4 days a week
* Rise – a youth club which operates 2 sessions a week
Our Projects offer small group activities and high staff ratios. Overall, we aim to support young people to realise their own potential and to start to develop their own aspirations. We also aim to support young people to confidently use public transport, communicate effectively, make friendships, and develop the courage to try new things.
All our Projects incorporate a huge range of outdoor education, visits, and activities, designed to broaden horizons and push boundaries.
We are currently seeking to recruit an additional Support Worker at 24 hours a week. The Support Worker will work across our Projects for up to 4 days a week.
No prior experience is required; however, the post is subject to PVG Membership. We are seeking people with empathy, enthusiasm, a motivational and nurturing approach to the needs of our young people, and a willingness to take part in all activities offered.

Alzheimer Scotland’s PDS Link Workers are required to be effective team workers and have the skills to build and maintain relationships with colleagues both within Alzheimer Scotland, the NHS, and other stakeholders.

Applicants must hold a recognised relevant professional qualification, have a good understanding of dementia and how it affects people and their families, along with excellent communication skills, a warm flexible approach, combined with skills in empathy and relationship building.
