Justice Services
Our team supports vulnerable people, making sure they get the right services at the right time. If you're keen to be at the forefront of change and development in justice social work services, we would love you to join our team.
We are committed to trauma informed practice and are building our team’s knowledge, skills and experience using the National Trauma Training Programme. Join us and help bring the Vision for Justice In Scotland to life.
We will offer you a broad range of opportunities and great career progression. We also have a range of opportunities across the service for anyone who is committed to helping people turn their lives around.
We are committed to
- continuous professional development for our whole team and
- the SSSC Newly Qualified Supported Year (this is relevant to all newly qualified social workers registered with the SSSC. It aims to ensure that all NQSWs entering the workforce have access to support and development opportunities which consolidate social work education and develop professional identity and social work practice).
What our teams do
Our workplaces are safe and supportive spaces and we have brought together services to help people get the most from their supervision, but also offer local services to people who need support closer to home.
We provide a range of integrated services that are leading the way in changes to trauma support.
- Women’s Justice Centre: Provide services within one safe space, including primary healthcare and financial advice.
- Caledonian System: Our integrated domestic abuse intervention service for men and the women and children affected by the abuse.
- Survive and Thrive: Offer trauma intervention to help women and men who have experienced trauma find safety and stabilisation.
- Moving Forward: Making Changes: (MF:MC) work with people convicted of sexual offences.
Working with partners
We work closely with our partners in the third sector to help people build life skills, confidence and social capital, and reduce poverty and the impact of trauma.
- Our Unpaid Work team, in partnership with the Cyrenians, has achieved terrific results in a garden project. This involved people on Community Payback Orders transforming a neglected area into a peaceful, wildlife friendly space. One participant noted: "it was nice to be treated as part of a team and as an individual".
- Edinburgh Community Food works with our team at Willow to help women
- increase their awareness of a healthy balanced diet
- access affordable food
