At Stopover, we provide supported accommodation for young people aged 16–25 who are taking the next steps towards independent living.

'The Promise' is that Scotland's children and young people will grow up loved, safe and respected. As a Senior Transition Mentor you will be expected to embrace this approach to the support you deliver. You will work closely with staff and the young people exploring opportunities for them within employment, education and community integration. You will provide guidance and support to ensure they are safe and feel heard.
This is a permanent, full time role offering 39 hours per week. This role will require you to be available to work 5 days over 7 including shifts covering early, late, evenings and weekends.
