About Aberlour
Sycamore Childrens Houses

Aberlour Sycamore Services' vision is to
provide warm, loving homes for children where everyone learns,
laughs, grows into their future and is treasured always.
Sycamore services are widely recognised in Scotland for providing
a range of quality therapeutic residential houses for some of the
most vulnerable children and young people in the country. The
Service is a national resource and as such receives referrals
from throughout Scotland.

What we are looking for....

We are looking for people to join our
relief pool who are passionate about supporting children and
young people. The children and young people who live in our
houses have experienced significant trauma in their young lives
and our aim is to create loving, nurturing family homes where
they feel safe and cared for.



Our relief workers play a crucial role in
supporting our teams. This work is offered on a casual, hourly
paid basis to provide cover during staff absence and/or
particularly busy periods.



Members of our relief pool have a varied
range of backgrounds and often work in different areas of the
workforce. Although experience in child-care is ideal, we would
also like to hear from people who may have skills from their work
experience in different sectors which would be transferrable and
provide a good basis from which to learn and develop their
skills, utilising the range of training we provide.



At Aberlour we want to make sure every
child and young person has the love, support and opportunity they
need to reach their potential. If you share the same vision, we
want you to join our team. To have a look at our values to

What we
offer...

As well as a supportive team and excellent
training opportunities, we want all our employees to feel valued
and rewarded for the vital work they do. When you work with us,
we'll recognise your efforts with generous annual leave, an
excellent employer pension scheme and a range of deals and
discounts across various retailers. Find out more about our
Employee Benefits and our commitment to Equality and Diversity

Aberlour is committed to the safeguarding
and welfare of all our service users and uses a thorough and
rigorous recruitment and selection process including PVG Scheme
checks to ensure this commitment is not compromised.
