Circle is a registered charity working at the heart of communities across central Scotland. We work with families facing multiple disadvantages because of structural inequality, poverty, drug and alcohol use, imprisonment, physical or mental health, trauma, abuse and loss. We believe that every child, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the support they need to live a happy and healthy life.

Circle is seeking an experienced and compassionate Assistant Manager to play a key leadership role in supporting the delivery, development, and sustainability of our services across Fife, Forth Valley, Tayside, South Lanarkshire and North Lanarkshire. Rooted in community justice, trauma-informed practice, and family support, our services work alongside individuals and families facing the complex impacts of poverty, inequality and stigma. The Assistant Manager will provide strong operational leadership, ensuring high-quality, strengths-based interventions that respond holistically to the needs of those affected by the justice system.

Working closely with Senior Management, the postholder will oversee day-to-day service delivery, lead and develop staff, and maintain robust quality assurance across multiple localities. They will build effective partnerships with statutory and third-sector agencies, coordinate professional development, and support reporting, evaluation and project sustainability. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated leader with a strong understanding of trauma-informed practice, safeguarding, and community justice to make a meaningful impact on families and communities.

About the Community Link Worker Service

The Community Link Worker service collaborates with selected GP surgeries – supporting adults over the age of 18 through social prescribing. Referrals are received from the GP to our Community Link Workers when there might be a concern caused by social factors, rather than a medical problem. The service focuses on improving health outcomes for people experiencing stressors in their lives due to social problems, which could lead to poor mental health.

About the Role

As a Senior Community Link Worker, you will have a developmental role as well as providing on-going support. You will be responsible for developing positive, working relationships between the Community Link Worker team, Primary Care and local community resources. You will work to ensure that people referred from Primary Care to the Community Link Worker service benefit from community resources which can contribute to improvement of their mental and physical health outcomes. You will contribute to community development in your local area of work by working with community organisations

You will carry case loads for on-going work with specific individuals for developing and reviewing personal support plans, and provide oversight of personal support plans designed and implemented by Community Link Workers. Working closely with Community Link Workers in a guidance and/or support and supervision role, you will promote good working practice and staff development.

You will also ensure that the Community Link Worker service provides an environment where people can improve their health outcomes, establish improved connections in their communities and enhance their quality of life.
