Role

For decades, many children in residential care settings in Scotland were failed by those entrusted to look after them. Under a national scheme, survivors of historical child abuse in care will be able to apply for financial redress payments of up to £100,000, as well as access to an apology and support.

Redress Scotland is the Non-Departmental Public Body responsible for deciding levels of financial redress to be awarded to survivors and, in some cases, next of kin. Redress Scotland is independent of the Scottish Government. 

Redress Scotland has been operational now for a few years and we are pleased to confirm that we are strengthening our operational team with a newly created post - Resources Lead.

The post benefits from a range of excellent terms and conditions, holidays entitlement, pension and a range of other additional benefits and is completely remote therefore your home address will be your place of work. You will be required to meet in person for learning and development opportunities. It is imperative that the postholder therefore has access to a private work space for work with excellent internet capability for connecting and security in terms of confidentiality due to the nature of our work.    

We are looking for a skilled experienced person who is committed to living our values of Dignity, Respect and Compassion. We will offer you full induction and training, flexible working and support you to be part of an established inclusive team.
