About The Anchor Project

The Anchor Highland Cash Back Service is a community-based hub in Inverness, with a targeted, assertive outreach response team focusing on individuals subjected to exploitation aged primarily 13 to 18.

The Anchor Highland Cash Back will focus on three key areas of support:

1. Street Work - engaging with young people through street work, building trusting relationships by identifying needs and providing information and advice. The Anchor Hub building is accessible in evenings and weekends, offering a safe space where young people receive hot food and refreshments.
2. Alternative Space - The Hub offers an alternative space for young people, to reduce numbers congregating in unsafe locations and who risk involvement in anti-social behaviours or becoming targets for criminal/sexual perpetrators.
3. Trauma informed, rights based, relational approach - This underpins our work with young people. By listening to them, we promote their strengths and assets and what matters to them and ensure that young people’s needs are identified, and they receive timely, responsive support to reduce the risk of problems escalating and the need for increasing statutory intervention.

What we are looking for....

We are looking for someone with relevant experience of working with young people in the community to join us working 28.5 hours per week. You will be passionate about young people’s rights and helping them secure the best possible outcome. For more information about the role please see the job description and person spec.
