As a Project Worker with Rock Trust (Perth) in our Future Builders service, you’ll be at the heart of supporting young people in Perth to build stable, independent futures. Working directly with young people in their homes and local communities, you’ll provide tailored emotional and practical support on a 1:1 and group basis.

You’ll take the lead on support planning and risk assessment, act as a key point of contact for partner agencies and networks and work closely with colleagues to deliver high-quality, young-person-centred support. If you’re motivated by relationships, creativity and the opportunity to help grow something meaningful, this is a brilliant time to come on board.

Safe Harbour - Edinburgh Gender Based Violence Service

Through funding from the Big Lottery Fairer Life Chances Programme we have established our Gender Based Violence (GBV) Hub (Safe Harbour) located in Leith, Edinburgh.

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.
