New Vacancies | Mental Health and Wellbeing

Support children and young people from armed forces & veteran families to better understand and overcome challenges to mental health and wellbeing through our Pilot Project, called Your Mind Matters.

We have two exciting new vacancies for a full-time and sessional wellbeing Worker.

Funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has enabled Forces Children Scotland to pilot face-to-face mental health and wellbeing support for children and young people from armed forces and veteran families in the West of Scotland.

Both roles will deliver one-to-one, peer, and group mental health and wellbeing support to pupils from armed forces and veteran families in Hermitage Academy, Helensburgh as well as develop community outreach strands within the region.

Forces Children Scotland is committed to ensuring the lived experiences of children and young people are at the heart of everything we do and the role holder will work directly with this group to co-produce learning resources for several audiences.

Role holders will also work collaboratively with the wider team, as well as children and young people, to develop online mental health and wellbeing resources and tools to enhance our Your Mind Matters Digital Platform.
