Strong communicators with the ability to build trust and maintain professional boundaries.
Able to work effectively as part of a team and independently when required.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and responding to changing situations.

Make a genuine difference to young people's lives.
Gain valuable experience within a supported accommodation service.
Join an experienced and supportive team.
Access training and development opportunities.
Work for one of Scotland's leading social care charities.

What You Need
