Fundamental to your role will be the engagement in, and management of, each child's plan and ensuring these plans are managed with the highest standards of care and professionalism.

We continue to provide a unique community-based, living and learning environment in support of some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the country. The Aspris team assists children and young people aged 8 to 18 years to be fully included within the local community and to ensure they have the capacity to prosper beyond Aspris Scotland in the wider post-school world.

Please note - due to the location of this home and nature of the role, candidates MUST have a full UK driving licence as you are required to transport our young people to external locations.

As part of Aspris Children's Services, we are immensely proud of the career pathway and training we can offer you. We ask that you can demonstrate the values needed for a role, transferable skills and life experience and in return we will give you all the training and support you need to progress.
