Job Details: Bairns’ Hoose is the Scottish Government’s commitment to provide children and young people across Scotland with access to trauma-informed recovery, support, and justice. The Scottish Government selected Fife as one of its Bairns’ Hoose pathfinder sites in October 2023.

You will have skills to listen to, communicate with, and advocate for the rights of children and young people, as well as support the people who care for them. You will have experience working collaboratively with other professionals such as Social Work, Health, Police, and third sector organisations. You will support children, young people, and the people who care for them to express their views and give feedback to help direct the development of the Bairns’ Hoose project in Fife.
