Role

This role is at the heart of our Services which delivers innovation and trauma-responsive support to young people aged 12–24 and their families. You will provide early, relational and trauma-informed whole-family support for young people, parents, carers and families facing distress, exclusion and systemic barriers. At its heart, the service aims to strengthen hope, connection and belonging so families can imagine safer futures, rebuild trusted relationships and feel rooted in their communities.

The Project Practitioner will meet young people and their families where they are at. You will use relational focussed and trauma informed practice to build trust, develop connection, and create safe spaces for them to be heard, supported, and empowered. 

Working alongside statutory agencies and community partners, this role ensures young people and their families can navigate education, justice, and mental health systems with guidance, advocacy, and relational support. 

It is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of youth and family support across Inverclyde and Rothesay while feeding into The Anchor’s 2026–2030 strategy.
