Upside

This Scottish Government funded programme will deliver inclusive voluntary throughcare services across Scotland for men, women and young people serving a short-term sentence or following a period on remand. A collaborative and relationship-based partnership model underpins delivery to support to achieve positive outcomes for people and wider communities. Improving reintegration and wellbeing ultimately improves lives and reduces re-offending.

We are recruiting a values-driven individual to join our Sacro delivery team in the following role:

1 FTE Throughcare Community Worker based in Edinburgh & Lothians covering Males, Females and YP. (Fixed term until January 2028)

Your role will be to support people returning to their community following a short-term sentence or period on remand providing relational and practical support that is tailored and responsive to the needs of the person. Working collaboratively with Throughcare Prison Worker colleagues and a range of partners you will support in co-ordinated pre-release planning to ensure a person’s journey is effectively supported. This will involve supporting connections to local, and specialist, services where appropriate and importantly wider community connections.

You will have the ability to establish trusting and genuine relationships with compassionate approaches front and centre. You will be self-motivated and understand the importance of collaboration and working in partnership across organisations and sectors to support the best outcomes for people. You will be keen to support your team, Pod area and wider service delivery demonstrating flexibility to service demand as required.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to be involved in shaping and delivering a new high-profile government funded project, that is truly making a difference to people’s lives.

This role will involve working as part of a dynamic local team with workers from across Partner organisations. Primarily remotely, with some work expected at our designated work hub (Edinburgh/Glasgow) and travel as required to support engagement events across the partnership. Being educated to at least SVQ level 3 or equivalent is desirable. Experience of supporting individuals in a community setting, a current driving licence and use of a car for work and being computer literate with proficient experience of Microsoft tools are essential.

Don’t meet every single requirement?

Studies show that women and Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic people are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every qualification. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the job description, we’d love you to apply anyway. You might just be the perfect person for this role, or another role within Sacro.

This post is subject to a satisfactory Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme membership record.

We offer some great benefits, including family friendly policies, flexible and hybrid working and work-life balance. We also have generous annual leave entitlement, employee wellbeing scheme, cycle to work scheme, pension scheme and death in service, enhanced company sick pay. We will offer learning and development, progression and qualifications with the opportunity for growth and development.

We welcome applications from individuals who share Sacro’s aims and values and want to engage with those we support to help them move on to a more secure, settled and fulfilling life and value diversity from all sections of the community.
