Job description
About Aberlour…
Aberlour is Scotland’s leading children’s charity and has been recognised as a Top 100 best places to work winner by the Sunday Times.
Our strategy is to be bold and brave, to ensure that every child in Scotland has an equal chance. As an organisation we are ambitious to deliver real and lasting change for children, young people and families. At Aberlour we strive to deliver the highest quality care and support to babies, children and families across Scotland and are committed to doing all we can to deliver on Scotland’s Policy aspirations (The Promise, UNCRC).
We have a number of services across Scotland offering residential and short breaks support for children and families affected by disability. We believe children and young people with disabilities, together with their families, should receive care that treats them fairly and values their needs.
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.
