Do you want to make a positive impact on the lives of children and young people with a learning disability and/or Autism?
We have an exciting opportunity for a family-focused, warm, friendly, resourceful, and empathetic individual to join our newly extended Disability Service as a Family Worker.
About Options Fife
At Options Fife, we have been providing person-centred services to children and young people with a learning disability and/or Autism for over 25 years. Our Family Workers enhance the existing provision offered, enabling whole family support for children and families with complex learning needs. What we are looking for...
As a Family Worker, you will offer emotional and direct practical help to families experiencing short- or long-term challenges. You will work with families to identify areas where support is required, co-producing a family support plan tailored to their child’s and family’s needs. You will agree on outcomes and personal goals within the child’s plan. Responsibilities:
Promote and develop healthy routines, including sleep. Provide practical support with personal care. Support the development of play routines. Support parents to address difficulties and reduce risks. Build upon parents' existing knowledge and equip them with enabling strategies and tools. Support families to have positive and rewarding relationships. Help families implement structure, identify triggers, and understand the function and purpose of their child’s behaviour to reduce challenges from escalating. Liaise and work with partners and colleagues from Social Work, Health, and Education to assess, review, and evaluate progress. You will have experience supporting children and families with a learning disability and Autism. You will have up-to-date knowledge of best practices and supporting tools and interventions. You will manage your own diary, and your hours will be 20 per week, worked flexibly between 7 am and 10 pm, Monday to Sunday. The days and hours worked will be agreed with families within the family support plan. There may also occasionally be a need to provide additional support outside these times and to respond to crises and family stress. 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. If you have any queries please e-mail:
jobs@aberlour.org.uk . Aberlour is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of all our service users and uses a thorough and rigorous recruitment and selection process, including PVG Scheme checks, to ensure this commitment is not compromised. Applications to be returned by: midnight on Sunday 2nd February 2025. Interviews are expected to be held on TBC. The application page will open in a new window.
