The role will involve making complex, high quality and holistic decisions that are thoughtful, robust and take full account of the unique experience of individual survivors of historical child abuse in care.

The Redress for Survivors (Historical Child Abuse in Care) (Scotland) Act 2021, legislated for the establishment of a survivor focused route to redress for historical child abuse in care, and in some circumstances, their next of kin.

We welcome applications from people who have considerable experience from a range of areas including health, law, justice, social work, and human rights.
