Support Worker (part-time)

Sistema Scotland’s vision is to improve lives and strengthen communities. Working with children, young people and their families, we focus on early intervention and stimulating generational social change.  By playing music together in ensembles and orchestras, we aim to grow confidence, respect, teamwork and aspiration in the children, young people and communities we work with.

We deliver our work through six Big Noise programmes: in Douglas in Dundee, Raploch & Fallin in Stirling, Govanhill in Glasgow, Torry in Aberdeen and Wester Hailes in Edinburgh.

We are looking for a Support Worker to join our organisation as part of the dynamic team in Big Noise Douglas, delivering a visionary, socially driven children’s orchestra centre. Big Noise Douglas runs an after-school programme 4 days a week during term time and a holiday school 4 days a week during the Easter, summer and October holidays.  The principal duties of a Support Worker at Big Noise Douglas are to support Big Noise musicians as they deliver the after-school programme; participating in sessions, modelling engagement and attention for the children whilst building strong relationships with the children and families to assist them in maximising their potential.
