Job Overview

Do you believe in second chances? Do you have the energy and commitment it takes to support someone to turn their life around?

We need a dedicated individual to forge strong relationships with people who are or who have been in police custody in the Fife area. Using a trauma-informed approach, you will work with people of all ages and from every walk of life, supporting them in making positive changes.

You must be a skilled communicator who has the ability to connect with people facing a challenging range of issues. A team player, you will work closely with partners across Fife to achieve the right outcomes for those we’re supporting. Often, the people you encounter will be at a low point in their lives, so you must be able to show empathy and forge a connection during that ‘reachable moment’, then back it up with the ability to create strong, trusting relationships which support people to access the help they need.

If people describe you as level-headed, a listener, compassionate, patient, a great communicator, hard worker, resilient, dedicated, and great in a crisis – and you have the energy and commitment to always go the extra mile to support people effectively, then we would like to hear from you.

The role requires occasional evening work and to be part of a rota to support individuals in police custody on a Sunday, followed up with community outreach support during the week.

Minimum Requirements:

1. Full driving licence and access to a car satisfying the appropriate insurance requirements.
2. Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme is a requirement for the post.
