Edinburgh Justice Services are committed to providing high quality services and ensuring a compassionate approach to people who use our services, and to supporting staff wellbeing. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Justice Worker to join the Justice Practice Team.
In collaboration with Social Workers, the Justice Worker will support people, in prison or the community, on a statutory or voluntary basis, contributing to safety planning, risk assessment and risk management services and interventions, to reduce reoffending, vulnerability and harm and support desistance and wellbeing. We offer a high level of training to support continuous professional development and to deliver a broad range of interventions, including established accredited group work programmes.
Justice social work services are provided within the framework of the Social Work (Scotland) Act, National Objectives and Standards for Social Work Services in the Criminal Justice System, and Council policies and guidelines.
