Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of autistic young people and their families?
We have a new and exciting Community Advisor vacancy to join our existing team at the Fife One Stop Shop. This role focuses specifically on the delivery of our Family Flourish Service.
Family Flourish is delivered as part of Our Minds Matter, a framework funded by Fife Health and Social Care Partnership. It is a Fife-wide service supporting neurodivergent children and young people, and their families, to support and improve mental health and emotional wellbeing. This role is central to the delivery of our Family Flourish Service and comprises of two complementary strands of work:
- One-to-one support for neurodivergent young people (aged 8-15) and their families
- Drop in advice, support and signposting for parents and carers of neurodivergent children and young people (aged 5-15)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work flexibly across both strands, delivering tailored support that recognises and affirms neurodivergent experiences whilst supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing, but also empowering families with the tools, confidence and connections they need.
Within this role you will work alongside the One Stop Shop Senior Community Advisor and wider stakeholders to:
- Provide information, advice and support to neurodivergent children, young people, families and professionals.
- Deliver the Family Flourish Programme, supporting neurodivergent children, young people, parents and carers.
- Facilitate inclusive and accessible opportunities for children, young people and families.
- Maintain and develop accessible resources to support programme delivery.
- Promote awareness and understanding of neurodivergent needs across the Fife community.
- Work collaboratively to identify, respond to and meet the needs of children, young people and families.
- Maintain accurate records and manage workloads to ensure safe, high-quality practice.
The Successful Candidate Will Have:
- Lived experience and/or autism practice, applying theory in real-world settings.
- Professional experience in Early Years and/or Youth Work.
- Skilled in engaging children and young people, including through play-based approaches.
- Strong understanding of autism and neurodivergence across the lifespan.
- Experience supporting individuals in complex or distressing situations.
- Excellent listening skills with an empathetic approach.
- Ability to turn complex information into practical, accessible advice.
- Confident delivering support to a range of audiences, including children, families and professionals.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
