Justice Support Worker
Full time (37.50 hours per week)
Fixed term to 21 April 2026 with possible extension.
South Lanarkshire
Sacro’s mission is to deliver life-changing services that empower people, give hope and protection, and help to build safe communities.
This role is specific to those who are in recovery themselves or have lived experience of the Justice System.
An exciting opportunity has arisen within our new service Peer lead service. The Recovery Oriented Justice service has been established by South Lanarkshire Council to support individuals placed on Structured Deferred Sentences via the Alcohol and Drug Problem Solving Court.
Sacro will work in conjunction with the existing Recovery Oriented Justice team to provide specialized support where required. The service will adopt an assertive outreach approach, and as such, you will be supporting individuals within their own communities to build hope, social capital, and establish support networks.
You will assist in the delivery and development of the day-to-day running of the service under the direction of the Team Leader and Community Justice Manager. You will be responsible for the management of data relating to the people we support and liaise with other agencies.
All posts require the ability to use initiative and organize workload within a pressurized environment. Knowledge of the Justice system, problematic substance use, and the complex needs that those in the Justice System may face is necessary. Knowledge of services available in the South Lanarkshire area would be an advantage. Relevant experience within Justice services as well as partnership working is desirable. The successful applicants will be flexible and proactive in their approach and confident in their ability to assist those who access the service.
Experience in Social Care would be beneficial. A relevant qualification at SVQ level 3 or equivalent is desirable but not required as training will be provided. Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) will be a requirement for this post, along with satisfactory references.
This support at times may cover Saturdays and may also be out with normal business hours; you must be prepared to commit to this.
A driving license will be required and access to a vehicle with appropriate business insurance.
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.
