Location:Glasgow

Glasgow 16+ has over 30 years of experience supporting care-experienced young people across Glasgow through a range of housing support services.

Our services include two residential accommodations where young people can develop independent living skills within a supportive group environment. In addition, we provide outreach support to young people living in 18 flats across Glasgow.

We work with care leavers aged 16 to 26 who require support as they transition into adulthood. Our aim is to help young people develop the practical, emotional, and life skills needed to achieve their goals and fulfil their potential.

The support we provide is both practical and therapeutic in nature, recognising the individual needs and experiences of each young person. We work in a trauma-informed way and are committed to promoting and upholding the rights of young people. We actively embrace the principles of The Promise and ensure these values are reflected in all aspects of our practice, interactions, and support.

Our service offers a combination of residential, community-based, and drop-in support from our Glasgow base, providing flexible and accessible assistance tailored to individual needs.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and cultivating a culture where everyone can belong and thrive through inclusion and connectivity. We want our workforce to be reflective of the communities we work with, and for equality, diversity and inclusion to be embedded in everything we do. We are a Disability Confident Leader, are progressing our ambition to be an anti-racist organisation with Anti-Racism Commitments and actions in place and have networks for colleagues who are disabled, LGBT+, Black and Minoritised Ethnic and Women.

We particularly encourage applications from Black and Minoritised Ethnic and/or disabled candidates who are currently underrepresented in our workforce. For disabled applicants, we offer reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

We are seeking motivated, compassionate, and nurturing individuals to join our team. Successful candidates will support young people to identify, work towards, and achieve their personal goals while building confidence, resilience, and independence.

• Have a genuine commitment to improving outcomes for care-experienced young people.
• Have a strong understanding of the impact of disrupted childhood development and attachment difficulties.
• Have experience of, or a commitment to, trauma-informed practice.
• Can build positive, trusting relationships with young people.
• Share our values and commitment to The Promise and children’s rights.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people, helping them to succeed and thrive as they move towards independence.

We appreciate our colleagues’ dedication and their commitment to delivering excellence in the vital work we do, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo’s values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.

We are committed to a rounded colleague experience with an approach to both pay and rewards that are fair, attractive, and progressive. This is in support of our strategic ambition to ensure Barnardo’s is a place everyone can belong, grow and thrive.
