Are you looking for a fantastic opportunity in an exciting and rewarding role making a difference to children’s lives? The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is a UK-wide charity that exists to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. We’re bold, we’re pioneering, we’re growing and we want your help.
Our Edinburgh based team – formerly known as Stop It Now Scotland – covers the whole of the country. Our practitioners have extensive backgrounds in child protection and sex offender rehabilitation. We provide individual and group work to around 150 adults and adolescents every year who present a sexual risk of harm to children who cannot access statutory services. We work with around 100 partners, family members and members of wider networks around these individuals. We use what we learn from our work to develop and deliver resources, information and training for professionals and the public, so that they can better protect children from harm and prevent abuse before it happens.
About You and the Role
We are recruiting a practitioner to join our multi-disciplinary team in Edinburgh to lead our work with children, young people and young adults up to the age of 21. You will head up our flagship project working with high schools in Edinburgh promoting the prevention of harmful sexual behaviour in an educational context. This includes running workshops for parents on how they can promote positive and healthy relational and sexual development. It will include helping teachers respond sensitively and effectively to early concerns about children’s sexual behaviour. And it will involve working with young people themselves to help develop a curriculum that actively promotes prevention of sexual harm. You will work with our research team to help establish evaluation methods for all aspects of this project and to develop a scalable model of prevention that can be rolled out across all schools, better protecting children from harm. You will work closely with our UK based Schools Project Manager who will support all aspects of this project.
You will also have a small caseload, working with young people who have displayed harmful sexual behaviour online. You will contribute to training, consultation and policy work in relation to tackling youth perpetrated sexual abuse. It’s a wide-ranging and exciting role, and we will be able to support and train the successful candidate in all aspects of our work. You will be supported by our UK based young people’s team.
Key Attributes We Are Seeking Include:
* Deliver assessment and interventions for children, young people and families in relation to harmful sexual behaviour.
* Vision and operational capabilities to co-ordinate and deliver on a substantial project focusing on the prevention of harmful sexual behaviour in education settings.
* Leadership and management skills in producing successful outcomes.
* Impeccable knowledge of safeguarding principles, policies and practices.
* Proven track record of working in and/or with education providers.

* Ability to provide confidential advice to callers, including education leaders and staff.
* Effective record keeping in line with the charity’s policy and practice.
* Stakeholder engagement and excellent communication skills to promote the mission and values of the Lucy Faithfull Foundation.
This is a highly rewarding role making a genuine difference to children’s lives. It involves working within a friendly, supportive and hardworking team which is committed to keeping children safe from sexual harm.
