Experience linked to employability, family support, transport access, schools or community hubs would be valuable, but we welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds.You will be based mainly in schools and community settings across Clackmannanshire and Grangemouth, working closely with School Active Travel Hub Officers, employability services and family support partners.
