Role
Help us to make a difference!
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 complement 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, which will be necessary, include good organisation and IT skills. Successful applicants will be required to be flexible in 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.
A driving licence will be required and access to a vehicle with appropriate business insurance.
We welcome applications on a full-time basis, and we offer some great benefits including 31 days annual leave allowance, family-friendly and flexible working policies. We offer excellent training and development opportunities and a good pension scheme with 8% employer contribution.
If you share our values and want to help us support people and make a positive change in their lives, please contact us.

Justice Worker (North Lanarkshire)
Postcode: G51 1DH
This Scottish Government funded programme will deliver inclusive voluntary throughcare services across Scotland for men, women, and young people serving a short-term sentence or following a period on remand. A collaborative and relationship-based partnership model underpins delivery to support achieving positive outcomes for people and wider communities. Improving reintegration and wellbeing ultimately improves lives and reduces re-offending.
We are recruiting for an individual who will be responsible for providing excellent customer service and administrative support to a range of partners including throughcare workers, managers, the Head of Programme, and external stakeholders. The role includes management and maintenance of data records, extensive use of the case management system, and provision of secretariat support. In addition to administrative duties, the role includes opportunities to support wider projects across the National Voluntary Throughcare Programme.
The successful applicant must be well-organised and an effective communicator within a varied and busy environment, have proven literacy and digital skills, and be flexible to meet the challenging and changing needs of the service. Being educated to at least SVQ level 3 or equivalent is desirable, together with relevant experience of administrative work. Applicants must be computer literate with proficient experience of Microsoft tools.
This role will involve working as part of a dynamic national team, primarily remotely, with some work expected at our central Edinburgh Hub office.
Studies show that women and Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic people are less likely to apply for a job unless they meet every qualification. So, if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with the job description, we’d love you to apply anyway. You might just be the perfect person for this role or another role within Sacro.
A Standard Disclosure Scotland check is required for this post.
We offer great benefits, including family-friendly policies, flexible and hybrid working, and work-life balance. We also have generous annual leave entitlement, employee wellbeing scheme, cycle to work scheme, pension scheme, and death in service, enhanced company sick pay. We will offer learning and development, progression, and qualifications with the opportunity for growth and development.
We welcome applications from individuals who share Sacro’s aims and values and want to engage with those we support to help them move on to a more secure, settled, and fulfilling life and value diversity from all sections of the community.
