Role

This is an exciting opportunity to join CJS at a crucial time for community justice policy in Scotland. The ongoing prison population crisis and the review currently being undertaken by the Independent Sentencing and Penal Policy Commission mean that now, more than ever, there is a need to develop and expand community first approaches to addressing crime and preventing offending and reoffending. 

This new post will be responsible for developing key policy proposals relating to community justice and then engaging with a wide range of national stakeholders to support the adoption and implementation of those proposals. 

We know from experience if you enjoy the role and feel listened to and valued, you will feel fulfilled and productive in your role. We are an extraordinary team of driven, passionate individuals who work and support each other to deliver really high quality work. We learn from each other and promote continuous improvement in what we do.
