Empowerment Coach
- Full time
- £30,127
- On site: Glasgow and Central Scotland
- Closing 17th November 2025
Human trafficking is said to be the greatest human rights issue of our time and is much closer than most 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 survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives, bringing lasting freedom and transformation.
Working closely with the project team and supported by the Project Lead, the Empowerment Coach will have a critical role in our mission of supporting survivors of trafficking to rebuild their lives with confidence and independence. The post-holder will help design and deliver our Empowerment Programme, a bespoke coaching and skills-development curriculum for survivors.
Through a combination of one-to-one and group sessions, the Empowerment Coach will equip survivors with the practical skills, strategies, and resilience needed to navigate life in the UK. This role is distinct from our advocacy service; its focus is on teaching and coaching individuals to act for themselves, rather than acting on their behalf.
