Role – Social Care Worker (Justice Services)
Location – GHSCP, Justice Services, The Adelphi Centre, 12 Commercial Road, Glasgow, G5 0PQ
Contract Status – Permanent
Are you interested in working for the largest local authority in Scotland, in partnership with the NHS, to help improve the health and wellbeing of our community? Then, you are in the right place!
Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (GCHSCP) are looking to recruit a Social Care Worker within the Tomorrow’s Women Glasgow service.
Tomorrows Women Glasgow is a multi-agency project for women involved in the Criminal Justice System. The service operates a “one stop shop” where the main aims are:
- To support women to reduce further offending
- To support women to complete statutory orders
- To support women to address issues that prevent desistance
- To increase women’s confidence to believe change is possible
- To help women develop resilience and build on strengths
- To empower women to meet their own needs
- To enable women to access local community resources
The team consists of social work staff and mental health nurses with clinical supervision and reflective practice supported by a clinical psychologist. The service offers assertive outreach, individual support, several group work programmes, clothes, food and toiletries bank, daily drop in, daily duty system, prison throughcare support and in-reach services such as Sandyford sexual health input.
Women experience ongoing challenges with being released from custody without adequate support. Prison Throughcare, in particular preparing individuals for reintegration to communities, is a critical element of justice services, requiring close collaboration across third and public sector partners. Tomorrows Women Glasgow support women in the community and in-reach into prison settings to engage women early in this process.
The Social Care Worker role within the team manages a caseload of women who are open to the Tomorrow’s Women Glasgow service as well as delivering various groupwork sessions within the service. The team are required to work in partnership with both their colleagues in social work and key stakeholders to continue to deliver and develop the service moving forward.
Membership of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme is essential on taking up appointment. Please note successful candidates for the above role will be required to pay for their PVG Membership/or Scheme Checks.
These roles are excepted under Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exclusions and Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2013 (as amended).
