A fantastic opportunity to support a national service across Scottish sport

This is an exciting time to contribute to the development and delivery of a national service which will support Scottish governing bodies of sport (SGBs) to effectively manage wellbeing and protection concerns for all who participate in sport. The service has been established through a strategic partnership between sportscotland, Children First and SGBs.

We are now looking for a passionate, skilled and confident individual to deliver and implement the service. As Project Worker, you will be part of a team working in partnership with SGBs to:

• support their management of wellbeing and protection concerns, and any subsequent investigations and disciplinary hearings effectively, in a timely and appropriate manner.
• build the knowledge, skills, and confidence of SGB staff and volunteers through training, mentoring and directed learning.
• facilitate the development of resources including practice guidance, tools and templates that support SGBs’ case management of wellbeing and protection concerns.

What kind of person will make a great Project Worker for the Case Management Support Service?

Knowing our shared ambition with sportscotland to ensure safer sport for everyone, you will be someone who:

• believes in the positive value of sport and is committed to making it a safe place for everyone.
• empowers people, staff and volunteers, through successes and challenges.

• is passionate about human rights and anti-discriminatory practice.
• has strong organisational skills and an ability to respond to complex and changing situations.
• assesses situations and provides clear advice.
• is determined and motivated in contributing towards building and delivering a new service to meet identified needs.

The Supported Housing Worker role requires assisting in the management of the development thus ensuring the tenants are able to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in an environment which is clean, safe and friendly. You will be responsible for overseeing the wellbeing of the tenants and for assisting them in maintaining their independence.

As Housing Care Worker your role will involve working with our tenants to ensure they receive the support and personal care identified in their care plans. You will directly support tenants in their homes by providing individual advice, practical housing support assistance and personal care.

Both roles are to ensure that we are able to offer the best service to our tenants and make it possible for our tenants to continue enjoying as much independent living as they’re able.

Previous experience working in social care or the housing sector would be an advantage but this is not always necessary. Our ideal candidate is someone with enthusiasm, a caring nature and willingness to learn as full training, support and ongoing development will be provided.
