Young 's Worker Youthpoint

Fixed term until 31st March 2027 About Aberlour Youth point Moray

Our Youth point Moray service provides help to children and young people in Moray who may be struggling with their emotions and behaviour, prompting concerns about their well‑being. Our young people’s workers provide one‑to‑one and group work support for children and young people in a safe and relaxed setting. They help them to understand the issues that are affecting them, which can sometimes be the cause of their behaviour, and take steps to overcome their difficulties at home, school and in the community.

The team also works with other family members, parents and carers to improve relationships at home.

Aberlour Youth point Moray provides three services to young people in Moray;
Intensive Community Support (ICS), Early Help and Mentoring and YP Zone.

The Intensive Community Support service funded by the Moray Council works closely with social work teams and families to support young people and families to achieve their full potential and develop important life skills through non‑formal educational activities. The service is delivered via 1:1s, group work, and family support and improves outcomes through positive change.

Early Help and Mentoring service provides support to disadvantaged, excluded and vulnerable young people and their families to enable them to gain and retain control of their own lives and remain safely in their own homes and communities. It improves health and wellbeing, helps young people make positive choices and build confidence. The service is delivered by young people’s workers through 1:1, group work and family support, with mentoring and befriending delivered by volunteers.

YP Zone provides targeted 1:1 support for young people affected by their own substance use, through a harm‑reduction approach. The service offers relationship‑based, strengths‑focused emotional support tailored to individual needs, helping young people better understand and reduce substance use, improve wellbeing, and develop healthier coping strategies.

You will work 30 hours per week across our Intensive Community Support service and your main role will be to provide 1:1 and group work support to young people and their parents as identified through appropriate referrals. You will plan and deliver activities and groups in partnership with young people and their parents in relation to their needs. You will work within a variety of locations in the Moray area and need to be able to drive and have access to a vehicle to take young people out and about.

The role will also involve liaising with partner agencies and entering data into Aberlour's case recording information system.

The team will provide support both within and outside normal office hours, depending on the needs of young people and families. This may include early mornings, evenings and weekends. All staff are expected to take a full and active role in delivering the service.

Please note, a driving licence and access to a car is essential for this role.
