Custody Navigator Support Worker

Sacro’s mission is to deliver life-changing services that empower people, give hope and protection, and help to build safe communities.
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 and services across the Saltcoats, Ayrshire 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 who has an ability to connect with people facing a challenging range of issues. A team player, you will work closely with partners across Saltcoats, Ayrshire 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, 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 demands regular evening weekend work, followed up with community outreach support during the week.

Membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme is a requirement for the post.

We will offer learning and development, progression and qualifications with the opportunity for growth and development.
We welcome applications from individuals who share Sacro’s aims and values and want to engage with those we support to help them move on to a more secure, settled and fulfilling life and value diversity from all sections of the community.
