Background Information

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team of paid and volunteer staff to further develop our advice service provision. Clackmannanshire Citizens Advice Bureau, based in Alloa, is an independent and innovative advice organisation providing holistic advice to the residents of Clackmannanshire across 7 locations in the county. We currently have 28 paid members of staff and 14 volunteers who provide a wide range of services, across our projects.

We have been delivering a valuable, high-level service to the community of Clackmannanshire for over 50 years. We have accreditation in Type III advice by Scottish National Standards for advice providers (SNSIAP) in the areas of Housing, Energy, Debt and Benefits.

All bureaux are members of Citizens Advice Scotland (the Scottish Association of CABx), and as such must meet specific conditions of membership related to standards of service and other matters. Each operates as an independent charity. This bureau is a limited company as well as a registered charity, governed by a board of directors/trustees.

About the role

The Thrive Early Family Adviser role combines elements of a Generalist Adviser and Caseworker, delivering seamless, holistic support to families in close partnership with Home-Start colleagues and other project partners.

The role focuses on building trusted relationships with families who may be experiencing significant barriers to engaging with advice services. Many families supported through Thrive Early may not feel ready or able to access traditional advice channels. As a result, establishing trust, confidence, and sustained engagement is a critical part of the role.

Family Advisers work with families over the medium to long term, providing tailored advice, advocacy, and practical support to help them move towards greater financial security and wellbeing.

The postholder will also work collaboratively with Save the Children UK to support family participation activities and ensure that lived experience informs service improvement and project learning.

Holiday entitlement for full year is 39 days pro rata leave including public holidays, with the ability to buy and sell annual leave. Flexible working scheme including some flexible start and finish times.

Are you passionate about helping people to live a better life? Do you want to work for a charity where your health and wellbeing matter just as much as the people you support?

• Caring (show kindness and concern for others)

The Service

Fife Carers' Self-Help Project

The Carers’ Self-Help Project provides support in Fife for carers of children, young people, and adults with autistic spectrum conditions or with additional support needs who struggle with their own mental health. The service welcomes carers who have a loved one with a diagnosis and those who are on the diagnosis pathway.

This service offers up to six, free, one-hour 1:1 coaching sessions, teaching self-care techniques to manage any current difficulties clients are experiencing. Group sessions are also available.

Supported self-help is a short-term process which uses materials and techniques tailored to client’s needs. We use an approach which considers how stress makes people feel, think, and behave, and cope with the associated physical symptoms. This approach is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT.

The Job

The remit of this post is to provide stress support to parents, family members or any carer of an individual who has been diagnosed as or is pending a diagnosis of being on the autistic spectrum or with additional support needs using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy based approach. This involves assisting people to access and use self help materials and signposting people to other relevant agencies when appropriate. You will need to develop and maintain respectful and empowering relationships with service users so that they feel valued and supported and in control of their own lives.

The post holder will work within our existing Self Help Team based at West Bridge Mill in Kirkcaldy, Fife. The post holder will be expected to meet with service users in various community sites throughout Fife and therefore flexibility to travel to these areas is essential.

About You

You are a compassionate and proactive individual with a strong understanding of the challenges faced by service users, particularly those who are excluded or marginalized. Your approach is person-centred, and you have a proven ability to build equal, respectful, and positive relationships with individuals and external agencies alike.

Empathy and active listening are central to how you support others, and you're sensitive and responsive to the emotional and social health needs of those you work with. You have experience working one-to-one, offering practical, tailored support, and you're familiar with self-help resources for carers of individuals with autism and additional support needs, with a clear commitment to promoting their use.

As a valued team member, you contribute actively to a supportive working environment. You are calm under pressure, able to problem-solve effectively during crises, and your communication skills are adaptable to a variety of situations.

Organised and reliable, you can collect data accurately and maintain detailed records. Your flexible and practical approach means you're ready to meet the changing needs of the role. A current driving licence and access to a roadworthy, reliable car allows you to support service users in a range of settings.

For a comprehensive list of the essential and desirable criteria required for this post, please refer to the Job Specification in the Job information Pack above.

Safe Harbour - Gender Based Violence Services

Through funding from the Big Lottery Fairer Life Chances Programme, we have established a Gender Based Violence (GBV) Hub (Safe Harbour) located in Leith, Edinburgh. Domestic abuse support is based on risk assessment and is often a crisis intervention but alongside this, Sacro will provide wraparound, holistic support via counselling, wellbeing activities and peer support. Safe Harbour will be a safe, non-judgemental and welcoming place to meet and engage with peers and professionals. Support offered will not be time limited focusing on the ethos of the right support at the right time.

Safe Harbour brings three of our specialist GBV services:

Lunar - supporting women and trans people selling or exchanging sex.

Aditi - supporting women of colour who have experienced domestic abuse, Honour-Based Violence and Female Genital Mutilation.

FearFree - supporting heterosexual men and those from the LGBT+ communities including trans people.

Safe Harbour is an inclusive service offering dedicated time and space to those accessing any of our Edinburgh GBV services including three women only days.

We are looking for a specialist transgender worker, ideally with lived experience who can provide support to transgender people affected by Gender Based Violence (GBV), supporting those accessing the Hub. We know how difficult the landscape has become for transgender people in recent months and believe strongly that a safe space with knowledgeable and friendly support is essential in addressing some of the harm caused by an increasingly hostile environment.

The successful candidate will have knowledge and understanding of the unique challenges faced by transgender people and be able to offer meaningful support to them. This service will be an in-person service, operating from Leith, and within the community where appropriate.

The post holder must have a gendered understanding of domestic abuse and trauma informed practice, be an effective communicator as well as highly organised with effective casework management skills. We are a values led organisation looking for candidates whose values align with ours.

This is a brand new role and offers the successful candidate an exciting opportunity to bring their knowledge and experience and contribute significantly to the development and shaping of the post.

Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) will be a requirement for this post.

Sacro values diversity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We particularly welcome applicants from the trans community and those with lived experience.

If you would like an informal chat about the requirements of the post, please contact Sue Waddington by email swaddington@sacro.org.uk and leave a telephone number where you can be contacted.
