For decades, many children in residential care settings in Scotland were failed by those entrusted to look after them. Under a national scheme, survivors of historical child abuse in care will be able to apply for financial redress payments of up to £100,000, as well as access to an apology and support.

Redress Scotland is the Non-Departmental Public Body responsible for deciding levels of financial redress to be awarded to survivors and, in some cases, next of kin. Redress Scotland is independent of the Scottish Government.

Please ensure that you read the attached guidance note to complete your application. It is also important that the supplementary questions section is completed in full before moving forward as you will not get the opportunity to submit or change your answers.

Redress Scotland has been operational now for a few years and we are pleased to confirm that we are strengthening our people team with a newly created post. The newly created post of People and Well-being Lead will compliment our existing team.

The post benefits from a range of excellent terms and conditions, holidays entitlement, pension and is completely remote therefore your home address will be your place of work. You will be required to meet in person for learning and development opportunities. It is imperative that the postholder therefore has access to a private work space for work with excellent internet capability for connecting and security in terms of confidentiality due to the nature of our work.

We are looking for a skilled person who is committed to living our values of Dignity, Respect and Compassion. We will offer you full induction and training, flexible working and support you to be part of an established inclusive team.

About Street Soccer

Street Soccer is a charity using football to create lasting change in the lives of isolated and excluded adults and young people. We run 60 sessions a week of free, inclusive and judgement-free football. These sessions provide person-centred support to players facing a number of challenges including mental health, homelessness, long term unemployment, problem substance use, criminal justice and seeking asylum. Our mission is to create hope and opportunity for all.

We support thousands of players a year on their journey to positive change by providing a safe space, trusting relationships and a sense of belonging. We fight isolation and exclusion by bringing people together, building confidence and creating supportive communities. We support people of all ages and backgrounds through relationship-based support, focusing on trust and personal development, supporting everyone to set and achieve their own goals. Thanks to the support of Street Soccer, 82% of players say that their quality of life has improved. Lived experience is at the heart of what we do, with over 80% of our staff having lived experience of the challenges our players face.

97% of players think that Street Soccer is a unique organisation. With over 16 years of experience delivering positive change through football, we are now working in more communities than ever, with city hubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and South London, as well as a network of sessions across 6 other local authorities.
