Human trafficking is said to be the greatest human rights issue of our time and is much closer to us all than most people think. It is hidden in plain sight and has been identified in every local authority in Scotland. We believe that everyone deserves to live in freedom with dignity and respect.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to be an integral part of our growing and dynamic team supporting victims and survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives, shaping policy and practice in prevention and bringing lasting freedom and transformation to our communities.

The Empowerment Coach will have a critical role in our mission of mitigating the risk of exploitation in vulnerable groups and supporting survivors of trafficking with the practical skills, strategies, and resilience needed to navigate life safely and to thrive.

The post-holder will help design and deliver a bespoke coaching, psychosocial education and skills-development empowerment programme for children, young people and adults who have been impacted by human trafficking or at risk of exploitation. The role will have a specific interest in working with young people who are at risk of forced criminality or have been in the criminal justice system.

We are seeking a person with extensive knowledge and understanding of Anti-Racism and Intersectional EDI to support and co-lead the further development of the Scottish Environmental EDI Network (SEEN), which is a wide membership of environmental sector organisations that are committed to developing improved anti-racism and intersectional equality policies and good practices within their organisations. You will therefore also need experience in developing anti-racism and intersectional good practice tools such as race / equality policy templates and good practice guidance materials for shared learning. Your knowledge of anti-racism and intersectional equalities should also extend to experience in delivering race / equalities training and providing consultancy support to organisations.

Peer and exchange learning will also be a key development within the SEEN and so experience in organising learning events and activities will be a key attribute for this post.

There will be many SEEN members and clients of CEMVO’s Race Equality Environmental Programme (REEP) that will seek to engage with ethnic minority groups / communities as part of their approach to developing anti-racist policies and practices, and so you will need experience in undertaking outreach work with EM groups / communities so as to organise and facilitate engagement with mainstream environmental organisations.

If you have a strong passion for anti-racism, intersectional equalities and the environment then this post will an ideal opportunity to help influence and progress race and intersectional equalities within the environmental sector.
