Barnardo's Caern Disability Services consists of 3 unique Projects who deliver a variety of quality services for young people with learning disabilities and/or autism. We have done this for over forty years.

At the Caern Community Project, we support up to 50 children and young people across the Lothians aged 7-18 by offering outreach, holiday support, groups, youth clubs and training to children and their families.

We are looking for Relief Project Workers to join our small team to support young people in the community. Working primarily in the community, you will promote the happiness, safety and welfare of the young people. You will play an active role in supporting the children and young people and their families/carers to achieve positive outcomes, as identified in the Young People's Individual Support Plans.

You will work on a Rota of day shifts, including weekends, early mornings and evenings. We are also looking for staff to support young people in our holiday support hub. This will run from Monday 4th July until Thursday 11th August. We will be running Mondays to Thursdays, 8.30am-3.30pm

As these posts are As & When - you can commit to a flexible amount of hours and individual circumstances will be considered.

About You

We are looking for Relief Project Workers who have experience in working directly with children and young people.

Experience in supporting children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism would be advantageous, or at the minimum an understanding of these factors and its impact on child development. Communication with the young people is paramount - the key is time tabling; structure; reliability and consistency. You will be faced with behaviours that challenge, including physical.

Experience of group work is desirable, with good planning skills.

You will need to communicate effectively with a range of people, including autistic children and young people, their families and other professionals. This also includes being able to work sensitively within families' homes.

You will have the confidence to lone work and can use your own initiative with support from team and managers.

As this post is in the community, a clean current drivers' license is essential, (although if you are applying for summer hub work this is negotiable).

Our basis and values

Barnardo's has had a presence in Fife for over 20 years. Work with children and families has been a consistent feature of our services in Fife.

As a result the service is well respected and established in Fife.

The BEC service works in partnership with another local organisation, Clued Up to provide a whole family response to families who are impacted by substance use. The service has two aspects to the work and provides an intensive level of support to some families who are on the verge of family breakdown. The other aspect of the work offers support to families at an earlier stage of the process and aims to divert families impacted by substance use, away from more intensive levels of support. This post will sit within the intensive aspect of the service and will work alongside our Stronger Families service and team.

You will be required to assess, design and deliver direct services to families impacted by substance use and as such experience/or a working knowledge of this area of work would be extremely helpful.

Our basis and values

In February 2021, Fife Council produced a service brief relating to Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Supports and Services for Fife. The service brief links closely to the Our Minds Matter framework in Fife and reports to a multi agency Senior Operating Group in Fife. The funding for this service brief was for an initial 6-8 month period and Barnardo's were successful in securing funding to cover Levenmouth and North East Fife areas of Fife. We secured further funding to expand the service to cover the North East Fife, Levenmouth, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath areas of Fife. This service will commenced in January 2022 and is funded for an initial period of two years.

This service delivers a variety of interventions which aim to support the emotional health needs of children, young people, and families. We offer a range of supports in the form of group programmes, support groups, workshops, one to one therapeutic support and training to other professionals. We offer support to children and young people 5-24 (26 if care experienced) and their families.

The aim of this service is to increase the capacity of existing services by providing early prevention and intervention through upskilling, supporting, and educating the community. Our hope is to enable young people to have positive mental health and wellbeing, thrive in their community and to be able to bounce back from life's challenges. Additionally, we aim to support parents to feel confident in responding to their children's mental health needs and increase their capacity to support them.

We are looking for workers who are passionate about working in this area of work and who are excited about joining a small but committed team to help grow the service and develop practice to meet the needs of the children, young people and families of Fife. To make this happen we are looking to recruit to the following post.

Additionally, you will be responsible for the creation and delivery of workshops and groups in response to the local identified need and assessing, responding and signposting enquiries.

The post holder will therefore be confident in engaging and working with children and families, be committed to the principles of codesign, and they will be comfortable in operating in a situation where the destination is uncertain.
