About Forth Valley Perinatal Service
Aberlour has always seen the benefit of early intervention and are pleased to have received funding from Scottish Government for a Service Manager, 4 new Support Workers and a Service Administrator to work across Forth Valley supporting new parents pre and post birth. By working alongside new parents, we aim to facilitate recovery from problematic substance use and improve parenting capacity and confidence to positively impact on the outcomes for both parents and their new babies.
The service will work across 7 days per week operating within the hours of 8am to 8pm to flexibly meet the needs of the parents and families being supported. The work will cover prebirth to baby’s first birthday offering strength based whole family support.
What we are looking for....
We are looking to recruit a Service Administrator to work 16 hours per week, with hybrid working available. Initial funding from Scottish Government is secured until March, however with successful outcomes we are hopeful that this specialised work would be extended further. The pattern of working hours can be agreed with the Service Manager and will primarily be worked between Monday-Friday, office hours.
The role of Service Administrator is extremely varied within Aberlour, you will have general administrative tasks such as financial administrative tasks, ordering office equipment and supporting with our file recording systems. Your job is also about supporting and working with people. Our administrators are at times a point of contact for families/partners who are looking for urgent help and must respond in an appropriate, friendly and helpful manner.
Ideally you will have administrative experience gained through working within a busy office or social care environment. You will be comfortable working with all Microsoft Office packages, including Excel, and be able to create spreadsheets and deal with numerical information. You will have excellent communication and organisational skills. You will have a relevant professional qualification at SCQF level 7 or equivalent experience of working in a busy office.
