Frontline Fife (FLF) is a midsized, Scottish registered charity which works across Fife to promote independent living and the prevention of housing insecurity and homelessness.
As a fundamental premise, we believe that everyone has the right to live in a safe and secure home which meets people's needs and that everyone should be empowered to make life decisions which not only matter to them but also give way to opportunity, independence and empowerment.
Our work is founded on strength-based approaches. We accept everyone’s life experiences can and should be harnessed and developed and that people should be enabled to make informed choices to live the life they choose.
The Making Justice Work Project (MJW) is a partnership between Frontline Fife, Fife Law Centre and Citizens Advice & Rights Fife. The MJW Housing Advisor will work collaboratively with project partners to offer advice and support to people facing eviction due to rent arrears and other related housing issues and through the provision of lay representation at Heritable Court and First Tier Tribunals. This work is delivered under the Scottish National Standards for Information and Advice Providers (SNSIAP) and is funded by the Scottish Legal Aid Board.
Could you be part of something different? We have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and enthusiastic individual to use their gifts, skills and experience to make a difference to the lives of the people in our parishes and communities.
