Description

Overview:

Role:

Do you want to work for a caring organisation that believes in people?

Do you want to make a difference?

As a support worker with Change Grow Live you'll work with people who use our services, helping them get to where they want to be.

With this role you'll be working as part of the EMORSS team based within the community and prison.

Responsibilities:

Responsibilities
The team supports offenders with their drug and/or alcohol issues.

No two days are the same and we treat every person who comes into our service as an individual, so being flexible, curious and a good listener are key.

You'll have to record information about what you do, so enjoying a bit of paperwork and attention to detail is important.

But most of the time you'll be enjoying working with people from all backgrounds, making a difference to their lives.

This is what one of our people who use our service had to say:
"Life saving, life changing, [worker] took me from a place of crushing despair and mistrust of the system to a place of hope with the space to heal and rebuild. Thank you"

"I've left custody/been in the community before with no help - is night and day. CGL have been amazing for me and my support. I would be back in jail without them. Gate pick-up was a game changer."

Our values are to be compassionate, open and bold. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

We believe that having diverse people working as part of our team makes us the organisation that we are.

The safety of vulnerable children, young people and adults is our absolute priority.

We will support you in your role to make sure that you are equipped to support the safety of people who use our services and those around them, to the highest standard possible.

CGL Forth Valley Recovery Service is registered with the Scottish Care Inspectorate and all front line staff are expected to register with the SSSC and maintain continuous professional development, including the acquisition of required and appropriate qualifications.

Where required, CGL will fund qualifications that are necessary for SSSC registration.
