Sacro’s mission is to deliver life-changing services that empower people, give hope and protection, and help to build
safe communities.
This role is only available to those who are in recovery themselves or have lived experience of the Justice
System.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within our new service Peer lead service. The Recovery Oriented Justice service
has been established by South Lanarkshire Council to support individuals placed on Structured Deferred Sentences
via the Alcohol and Drug Problem Solving Court.
Sacro will work in conjunction with the existing Recovery Oriented Justice team to provide speciliased support where
required. The service will adopt an assertive outreach approach and as such you will be supporting individuals
within their own communities to build hope, social capital and establish support networks.
We work in partnership with South Lanarkshire Justice Services, NHS, and any number of other agencies to provide the
best possible service to the people we support.
You will assist in the delivery and development of the day to day running of the service under the direction of the
Team Leader and Community Justice Manager. You will be responsible for the management of data relating to the
people we support and liaison with other agencies.
All posts require the ability to use initiative and organise workload within a pressurised environment. Knowledge of
the Justice system, problematic substance use, and the complex needs that those in the Justice System may face
is necessary. Knowledge of services available in South Lanarkshire area would be an advantage. Relevant
experience within Justice services as well as partnership working is desirable. The successful applicants will
be flexible and proactive in their approach and confident in their ability to assist those who access the
service.
Experience in Social Care would be beneficial. A relevant qualification at SVQ level 3 or equivalent is desirable but
not required as training will be provided. Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) will be a
requirement for this post. Along with satisfactory references.
This support at times may cover Saturdays and may also be out with normal business hours, you must be prepared to
commit to this.
A driving licence will be required and access to a vehicle with appropriate business insurance.
We offer some great benefits including 31 days annual leave allowance, family friendly and flexible working policies.
We offer excellent training and development opportunities and a good pension scheme with 8% employer
