Summary

Advert

As part of the No One Left Behind (NOLB) approach, tackling child poverty is a key for Scottish Government with employability playing a vital role. The Parental Employability Support Fund (PESF) supports low-income parents to enter, sustain and progress in employment through personalised, holistic support. This includes skills development, qualifications, work experience, money advice and motivational support for parents facing barriers to employment and career progression.

We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our friendly team and deliver a person centred key worker service, supporting parents to upskill, retrain and increase household income through a range of employability interventions.

• Hybrid employees are considered workplace based first, but they will have a level of flexibility to work from home up to 40% of their working week, if it is not to the detriment of their current tasks, team requirements or service needs.

This post is considered Regulated Work with Children and Protected Adults, under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. It is an offence therefore to apply if you are barred from working with children and protected adults. In addition to this, if you have lived or worked in any country outside the UK in the past 10 years, there may be a requirement for an overseas police check.
