Sacro’s mission is to deliver life-changing services that empower people, give hope and protection, and help to build safe communities.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our North Lanarkshire Justice Support Service, we are looking to recruit a Justice Support worker to work with those who are subject to statutory and non-statutory court disposals. This position will work in partnership with North Lanarkshire Justice Social Work as additional support to compliment work being undertaken by Justice staff. This position will also require the management of up to two volunteers with lived experience.

You should be able to demonstrate good communication skills and be skilled at developing positive working relationships with both colleagues and those who come into contact with our services. You will be required to have experience working with people involved in the Justice System. Additional skills necessary include good organisation and IT skills. Successful applicants will be required to be flexible in their approach and have the ability to travel across North Lanarkshire.

The role is as challenging as it is rewarding. You will need to have a non-judgemental value base, a sensitive and practical approach and be person-centred and flexible to meet the needs of the people we support.

A relevant qualification at SVQ level 3 or equivalent is desirable but training will be provided.

Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) will be a requirement for this post along with satisfactory references.
