Role
Sacro’s Mission is to create safe and cohesive communities by reducing conflict and offending.
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 with 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.
Applicants must have a full driving licence and access to a car satisfying the appropriate insurance requirements.
Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme is a requirement for the post.
For over 50 years, Sacro has been at the forefront of supporting people in Scotland’s justice system, helping them find pathways to positive change. We also provide vital support to victims and their families, vulnerable individuals in crisis, and people at risk of offending.
We actively listen to the voices of those we support, shaping our services around their needs while recognizing the profound impact of trauma on their lives. Our goal is to deliver life-changing services that empower individuals, foster hope and protection, and contribute to building safer communities.
This is a pivotal and exciting time to join Sacro. We are leading the largest Public Social Partnership in the justice sector, working alongside eight charities to deliver transformative voluntary throughcare support across Scotland. This groundbreaking initiative will provide consistent, person-centred support at a critical point in people’s lives, creating opportunities for meaningful change. By working collaboratively, we aim to reduce reoffending, ease the transition from custody to community, and help build safer, more connected communities.
At Sacro, we are committed to inclusivity and diversity of thought, background, and experience. Prior board experience is not essential—we are looking for individuals who share our values and are passionate about empowering people, offering hope and protection, and strengthening communities.
We are seeking several new board members with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
* Justice Sector Experience & Knowledge – Understanding of Scotland’s justice system or experience supporting individuals facing challenges such as domestic abuse, addiction, and homelessness.
* People & Culture – Expertise in fostering inclusive, equitable, and supportive organisational environments that prioritise employee well-being and development.
* Income Diversification & Sustainable Funding – Experience developing innovative strategies for financial sustainability through diverse income streams, with knowledge of third-sector funding challenges.
* Social Justice – A passion for driving societal change and addressing systemic inequalities through advocacy, policy, or front-line service provision.
* Project & Programme Delivery – Proven experience in leading and overseeing complex projects.
