Do you love working with people? Are you the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone and put them instantly at ease? Do you have the passion and commitment to help people turn their lives around? You don’t need direct experience in this field - just the right attitude, transferable skills, or lived experience that gives you insight into the challenges people face after a conviction.At Apex Scotland, we work with individuals who have been involved in the justice system, supporting them to build brighter futures. From helping people find work or boosting their confidence and motivation, we’re here to provide guidance, encouragement, and practical solutions.Are you interested in providing guidance to others? Are you technically minded and able to review and analyse information? Then you might be just who we’re looking for!About the RoleCriminal Record Disclosure Guidance: Clackmannanshire and Dundee CityDid you know that in Scotland 1 in 3 men and 1 in 10 women have a criminal record? Often individuals worry about how their criminal record will hold them back from building a better life, so they avoid job opportunities where they can raise their aspirations for fear of being rejected.Many people in this situation are not informed about what the law says about their criminal record. For many people their criminal record is spent which means they no longer need to declare it, opening up opportunities they never thought possible. Others may believe they will never be able to work in a certain sector, so they avoid it, but this may not be the case. For others who are required to declare their criminal record we provide guidance that keeps them safe and details the options that are open to them.At Apex Scotland we provide a Criminal Record Disclosure Guidance service which supports people with gaining this accurate information so they can be fully informed about their choices.
