We are recognised for delivering reliable, person‑led support across our communities. Our teams are trusted to provide safe, compassionate care that stands up to scrutiny. We take pride in being a steady, dependable partner within the health and social care landscape across Scotland.
We are entering a significant phase of development as we progress on the transition to becoming and independent organisation and strengthening our care service teams to match our ambition.

About the role
Our Young Persons project provides accommodation and support to young people who are ‘looked after’ and/or care leavers aged 16-25 years. The service provides a Housing Support Service with the goal of supporting individuals to develop the skills for independent living and to identify suitable accommodation for move on. Our approach is trauma-informed, person‑centred, and strengths‑based, ensuring that individuals feel safe, respected, and supported to move forward positively.
