This is an exciting opportunity for a person with experience of being in care and/or of attending Childrenâs Hearings to complete a Modern Apprenticeship (Business and Administration) in SCRA. It will be based within the Scottish Childrenâs Reporter Administrationâs office in Dundee. \n\nSCRA are committed to our Corporate Parenting role, and offering opportunities to people who are care-experienced is a key part of that, so this role is protected for people who are or have been in care, and/or have experience of attending Childrenâs Hearings.\nThe successful person will bring their experience of being in care or of the Childrenâs Hearings System (or both) to help SCRA in improving its services to children, young people and families whilst undertaking a recognised qualification. \nThere are two parts to the post. You will be part of a friendly, supportive administration team where you will be providing reception as well as general administrative services in the office. We will support you to learn a wide range of administration tasks as well as providing you with training and development opportunities. Your job will be varied and include welcoming children, young people and families, professionals and Panel Members to Childrenâs Hearings, refreshing and maintaining the Hearing rooms, using IT, answering and transferring calls and taking messages, filing, processing confidential information, mail preparation, overseeing the provisions for children and young people in the Hearing rooms and reception areas, and generally supporting the smooth running of the office. We have a range of Hearing centres in the Locality, and you must be able to travel independently to get to these when it is required, whether by public transport or by car, and you will be provided with travel expenses for this. You will also be invited to take part in a variety of exciting participation activities for SCRA. This includes joining projects aimed at improving participation opportunities for children, young people and families attending Childrenâs Hearings, and taking part in SCRAâs groups, for example, our Voice of Experience Reference Group, our Corporate Parenting and Participation Group, and a selection of our Equality, Diversion and Inclusion Groups. \n\nYou need to be 16 or older to apply for this post. You donât need to have finished school or college or have lots of work experience. However, we would prefer that you have had some experience of employment or of volunteering, either in school, where you live, or in the community, but it is not essential. Because this is an administrative post, you must be able to read and write to a standard that will allow you to use and read technology and work in a busy office.\n The second part of the role will be undertaking the SVQ Level 3 element of the post. We offer an SVQ Level 3 in Business and Administration, supported by West Lothian College. The qualification is gained while you work and learn so your work experience in the office will contribute to the qualification. 16 or older to apply \nIdeally some work or volunteer experience \nGood communication skills\nEnthusiasm to learn\nCare experienced\n\n
