Job Details
Based at Glenrothes and working throughout Fife. You will report to the Project
Officer for Unpaid Work in the Community and will directly supervise up to five
individuals who have been made subject to a Community Payback Order, providing
them with supervision, direction, and support to carry out
the work-related tasks that are asked of the service from local communities.
Such tasks can include painting and decorating, litter picking/community
clear-ups, garden maintenance, and other activities that can support community
initiatives. You will be responsible for vehicles and equipment that will
support the delivery of these projects and will be provided with risk
assessments and procedures to support you in undertaking your role. You should
possess strong interpersonal and motivational skills and be able to work
confidently and effectively with people from different backgrounds, some of whom
may present with challenging personal situations requiring patience and
support.

will be able to demonstrate an ability to complete projects within
specified timescales and have experience of DIY/soft/hard landscaping, painting,
and woodworking tasks. Additionally, knowledge and understanding of the issues
that individuals face when in the Justice system would be advantageous, but more

you are supporting.
The successful applicant will have experience in:
• Supporting, advising, and encouraging individuals or groups
• Skills development
• Working to deadlines
• Health and Safety
• Basic IT skills
• Good inter-personal skills
