Role

This is an exciting time to join Venture Trust as we continue to develop, embed and grow our teams, and apply our developmental approach in communities, in greenspaces and across Scotland’s wilder places. 

Venture Trust supports people facing challenging life circumstances to overcome barriers and realise their potential. We work alongside people who have been impacted by trauma, and together we build the programme they need to move forwards in their journey, utilising in communities, greenspaces and wild places across Scotland.

About this role

We have an exciting opportunity for a new Outreach and Support Worker to join our team supporting individuals in Glasgow and West Central Scotland. In this role, you will be the first person our participants meet, so knowledge of services within this area would be beneficial. 

You’ll be a caring, dynamic and driven person, dedicated to levelling the playing field and equipping people with the tools they need to thrive. You’ll be comfortable and confident working autonomously, working alongside people with complex lives.

Working across your area and in the Scottish wilderness, you’ll provide bespoke and holistic 1:1 support for participants, spending time to get to know them, their strengths and where they want to go. You’ll help to shape their journeys, navigating 1:1, community and wilderness journey support, always harnessing the benefits of the outdoors and nature spaces to provide therapeutic benefit. You will prepare participants for wilderness journeys and support them to develop employability skills.

We need you to work closely with referrers and partners to provide joined up support for participants, managing the differing needs of your case load, including working with young people and adults.

As an Outreach and Support Worker, you will:

• Have knowledge of services in the area that you will deliver (i.e. Glasgow and West Central Scotland)
• Deliver group activities outdoors in community greenspaces 
• Provide one-to-one support for participants, identifying and removing barriers to participation and supporting towards their individual goals
• Maintain positive relationships with stakeholders, generating referrals for all programmes
• Promote Venture Trust within local communities
• Support the delivery of wilderness journey opportunities in Scotland’s wilder places
• Work closely with referral partners and any other stakeholders to provide joined up support for participants
• Work within a team structure with hybrid working arrangements

Working at Venture Trust

We offer a range of generous benefits including:

• a generous annual leave entitlement (28 days annual leave plus public holidays and 3 Christmas holidays)
• an employee benefits package
• flexible and hybrid working
• a joint contributory pension scheme
