About us

Lucy Faithfull Foundation Scotland is part of a UK-wide charity that exists to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. We’re bold, we’re pioneering, we’re growing, and we want your help.

We’re here for everyone who needs us. We protect children by working with people who pose a risk and diverting them from causing harm. We support individuals and families who have been affected by abuse. And we help professionals who work with families to create safer environments for children.

Our UK wide charity runs the confidential Stop It Now helpline and Shore, a website for teenagers.

We use data and insight, alongside decades of experience, to develop innovative strategies and interventions to make prevention a reality.

We engage with policy and decision makers to advocate for a public health approach to child sexual abuse.

We bring our specialist expertise, understanding and knowledge of what keeps children safe to the widest possible audience.

Our values help guide our actions and help ensure we achieve our purpose: we act with integrity, we are collaborative, we are innovative, we are ambitious and we have hope.

Our vision is a world in which children live free from sexual abuse.

Our mission is to prevent child sexual abuse by intervening with people at risk of causing harm and enabling everyone to create a safer world for children.

Our dedicated and expert staff are based around the UK with offices in Bromsgrove, Edinburgh and Epsom.

Our Edinburgh based team – formerly known as Stop It Now Scotland - covers the whole of the country. Our Practitioners have extensive backgrounds in child protection, sex offender rehabilitation and tackling harmful sexual behaviour. We provide individual and group work to around 150 adults and adolescents every year who present a sexual risk of harm to children who cannot access statutory services. This includes individuals who are under investigation for online sexual offences and those who have not offended but are worried about doing so. We also work with around 100 partners, family members and members of wider networks around those individuals. We use what we learn from our work to develop and deliver resources, information and training for professionals and the public so that they can better protect children from harm and prevent abuse before it happens.

About the role

We are recruiting a Scotland Practitioner to join our multi-disciplinary team in Edinburgh. The role will involve delivering psycho-educational individual and group work to adults who are concerned about sexual thoughts, feelings and behaviours towards children. Assessments of clients and answering calls to our Scotland helpline will be a key part of this role. The majority of referrals will be adults who are under investigation or have been arrested for online sexual offences, including accessing child sexual abuse material.

This is a highly rewarding role making a genuine difference to children’s lives. It involves working within a friendly, supportive and hardworking team which is committed to keeping children safe from sexual harm.

This is a fixed-term contract to 31st March 2027 in line with external funding. We are optimistic that this post will be extended beyond this, pending continuation of funding in 2026-27.

About you

Our ideal candidate will be a dynamic Practitioner with a proven ability to drive projects to achieve required outcomes. You will be professional, proactive and outcome-focused with exceptional communication and engagement skills and an ability to develop partnership ways of working with professionals and agencies. You will have an impeccable understanding of child protection policies and principles and evidence of working with safeguarding partners to keep children safe from harm

You will be able to demonstrate confidence in translating the charity’s mission into direct child protection practice and equipping other professionals in tackling child sexual abuse.

Key attributes we are seeking include:

• Delivering assessment and interventions with adults who are at risk of sexual offending.
• Impeccable knowledge of safeguarding principles, policies and practices
• Collaborative and supportive ethos, enabling effective working with team members and leaders across the charity
• Flexibility and passion to work alongside internal and external colleagues to ensure quality work is delivered efficiently
• Excellent engagement skills and experience of working professionally with professionals
• Effective record keeping in line with the charity’s policy and practice
• Stakeholder engagement and excellent communication skills to promote the mission and values of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.

What you’ll get from us

We offer hybrid working, with 3 days in the office during the first month in the position, followed by a minimum of 2 days in the office, a NEST pension, 34 days’ annual leave rising to 39 days (inclusive of statutory bank holidays following qualifying period), up to 5 days’ learning and development per year, flu jabs, eye tests, season ticket loans, charity discounts, an employee assistance programme and the option of Benenden medical cover. We are proud to partner with the Living Wage Foundation and be an accredited employer of choice.
