For decades, many children in residential care settings in Scotland were failed by those entrusted to look after them. Under a national scheme, survivors of historical child abuse in care will be able to apply for financial redress payments of up to £100,000, as well as access to an apology and support.

Redress Scotland is the Non-Departmental Public Body responsible for deciding levels of financial redress to be awarded to survivors and, in some cases, next of kin. Redress Scotland is independent of the Scottish Government.

Redress Scotland has been operational now for a few years and we are pleased to confirm that following a promotion we are now looking to backfill this key role in the team.

Redress Scotland is primarily a decision-making body. In order to make best use of public resources, all administrative aspects of the national scheme will instead be carried out by Scottish Government without impinging on the independence of Redress Scotland’s decision-making.

We are looking for a skilled experienced People Administrator who is committed to living our values of Dignity, Respect and Compassion. We will offer you full induction and training, flexible working and support you to be part of an established inclusive team.
