Role

Human trafficking is said to be the greatest human rights issue of our time and is much closer to us all than most people think. It is hidden in plain sight and has been identified in every local authority in Scotland. We believe that everyone deserves to live in freedom with dignity and respect.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to be an integral part of our growing and dynamic team supporting victims and survivors of human trafficking to rebuild their lives, shaping policy and practice in prevention and bringing lasting freedom and transformation to our communities.

The Empowerment Coach will have a critical role in our mission of mitigating the risk of exploitation in vulnerable groups and supporting survivors of trafficking with the practical skills, strategies, and resilience needed to navigate life safely and to thrive.

The post-holder will help design and deliver a bespoke coaching, psychosocial education and skills-development empowerment programme for children, young people and adults who have been impacted by human trafficking or at risk of exploitation. The role will have a specific interest in working with young people who are at risk of forced criminality or have been in the criminal justice system.
