The Vacancy
Are you looking for your next move to a senior role with the social care sector? Do you have a passion for young people who are homeless achieve their goals and ambitions? If so, Quarriers have a rare opportunity for you to join our Stopover services as a Senior Project Worker!
Your new opportunity
We are currently recruiting for full time Senior Transition Mentor to join our Quarriers Stopover Service in Glasgow. At Stopover, we provide supported accommodation for young people aged 16–25 who are taking the next steps towards independent living.

Many of the young people we support have experienced adverse childhood experiences, including mental health challenges, trauma, addictions, and involvement with the criminal justice system. You’ll be part of a caring, consistent, and trauma-informed team making a real difference every day.
'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.
