Victim Support Scotland – Empowering People Affected by Crime.
We put victims and witnesses at the heart of everything we do so they are heard, have improved health and well-being, feel safer, more secure, and informed and that we are an effective organisation, that makes a lasting difference.
Who We Are
Victim Support Scotland provides support and information to people affected by crime and campaigns for victim and witness rights. Regardless of whether a crime has been reported, or when it happened, our services are free, confidential, and tailored to individuals’ needs.
Our vision is that people affected by crime – victims, witnesses, and their families – are treated with dignity and respect and are at the heart of the justice in Scotland. Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by crime receive high quality support that will help them to recover from their experiences. All our work is guided and underpinned by our six core principles of being engaging and compassionate; inclusive and accessible; person-centred; adaptive, flexible, and responsive; collaborative; and knowledgeable and skilled.
Now is the time to join Victim Support Scotland, helping us work towards the ambitions of our 5-year plan: Empowering people affected by crime: VSS Strategy 2021-2026.
What is The Role
Working closely with the Head of Communications and External Affairs, the post holder will assist in the development of policy positions, curate content for and write responses to consultations, and assist in the development of campaigns which contribute to improving the lives of people affected by crime. The post involves engagement with a wide range of stakeholders including politicians, political parties and opinion formers.
What You’ll Need to be Successful
The successful candidate will have knowledge of and experience in parliamentary/public affairs campaigns, policy research or a related role, working on major projects focused on rights issues. Demonstrable experience of working effectively with partners and stakeholders, and an understanding of social policy, criminal and community justice issues in Scotland is required. The post holder will be an effective influencer, able to articulate complex issues clearly and succinctly with strong writing skills and attention to detail.
Location: Glasgow or Edinburgh
Salary band: £31,890 – £42,109. Salary on appointment will normally be at the lower salary point, with progression subject to review - in line with VSS progression arrangements. A higher salary placing will only be considered in exceptional circumstances subject to experience demonstrated.
