Stirling Council is looking to progress and develop the ambitious vision for Scotland's young people as laid out within The Promise. We are seeking to transform services to ensure families are supported in a way that meets their needs at the times they require it. This is in line with the Scottish Government's recent drive for early, holistic support for families.
We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and committed individual who can work under their own initiative. Our vision is to support families holistically at an early stage of intervention as well as at times of crisis to support families and allow them to build resilience and coping strategies with the aim they do not need to receive support from statutory services.
The aim is to assist in the development of a range of flexible supports to ensure that children have improved outcomes across their childhoods and are supported to remain with their family in the Stirling Council area.
These posts are designed to work alongside families and universal services to ensure a stronger community within Stirling.
As well as the relevant qualifications and experience, qualities we are looking for in the successful candidate are a can-do attitude, vision, passion for supporting children and their families, energy, initiative, good communication skills, and self-discipline. More details are available in the job description.
