About includem

Since 2000, includem has grown and developed a wide range of services and projects for children, young people, and families across Scotland. Initially focussed on bridging the gap between social care and justice services, we have expanded our offering of specialist support not just for young people in conflict with the law but for families as well.

We work with children and young people in care, and their caregivers, as well as supporting those facing challenges with education, their mental health or transitioning to adulthood. Regardless of who we are supporting, our commitment to relationship-based, 24/7 support, remains unchanged.

Our mission is to provide the support children and young people need to make positive changes in their lives and inspire a more hopeful future.

This is where you come in! Working for includem means getting the chance to use your talents to the fullest, doing work that makes a real difference to the lives of many, in an environment where your contributions get noticed. Will you join our mission?
