Sessional Unpaid Work Supervisor - 102294 - 481115

Stirling Justice Service Social Work is currently recruiting a sessional Justice Service Unpaid Work Supervisor role to assist in the delivery of Unpaid Work Services within the team. The post holder will therefore work as part of a busy team to help organise and manage those attending unpaid work to oversee the completion of unpaid work hours imposed by the Court. The post holder will also oversee the completion of community projects designed to benefit the local community. 

The successful candidate will be required to work on a sessional basis, which may include weekend work to cover existing staff leave and to support the service during periods of increased demand. Given the nature of the post, some flexibility is required to support the needs of the service. However, in return, the post offers the successful candidate an opportunity to develop their skills and experience in this area of work, and may also suit a candidate looking to supplement their existing working arrangements. 

Stirling Justice Service is committed to delivering a range of community sentences. Of the 10 requirements a Court can impose when sentencing an offender to a Community Payback Order, ‘unpaid work’ is one of the most commonly used by the Courts across Scotland, and is often used as a direct alternative to custody. We encourage service users to develop practical and social skills as part of their sentence and through this, to develop personal responsibility for their actions, enhance their employability and to improve their relationship with their communities. We currently undertake a range of projects, including landscaping, painting, upcycling and grass cutting throughout the Stirling area. 

The successful candidate will be required to be a member of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme (PVG) for Children and Adults. If your application is progressed after the interview, you will be asked to complete the form and have your details verified.

If you’ve got the right skills for the job we want to hear from you. We encourage applications from the right candidates regardless of age (restrictions apply to Modern Apprenticeships), disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, belief or race.
