Help Change a Young Person's Future

We're launching Intandem Dumfries & Galloway and we're looking for someone exceptional to join us.

Intandem is Scotland's national mentoring programme for children and young people in care, at risk of care, and, in Dumfries & Galloway, young people living in kinship care.

We're looking for a passionate, relationship-focused Intandem Coach to help children and young people build confidence, resilience and brighter futures through the power of trusted relationships.

What's the Role?

You'll work directly with young people, kinship carers and volunteer mentors, helping create mentoring relationships that make a real difference.

You'll build trust, champion young people's strengths, connect them with opportunities, and help ensure every child has the support they need to thrive.

This is a part time role working 10 hours per week with funding in place for three years.

Why Join Us?

• Help launch a brand-new service across Dumfries & Galloway.
• Join an established organisation supporting children, young people and families.
• Work as part of a supportive team delivering Family Support, Emotional Health & Wellbeing, Parent Carer, Short Breaks and Youth Housing Support Services.
• Shape a service that reaches communities across the region, including rural and remote areas.

What You'll Need

• Experience of working with children, young people and families.
• A passion for relationship-based practice.
• Creativity, enthusiasm and a can-do attitude.
• A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle (mileage paid).

Based in either Dumfries or Stranraer.

We warmly encourage applications from people with lived experience of kinship care and recognise the valuable insight and understanding this can bring to the role.
