We are seeking to recruit a skilled and experienced Family Social Prescribing Practitioner to join our team in the Carers and Family Support Service.

With the knowledge and understanding of the impact of living within a family where someone is experiencing reduced psychological wellbeing, you will work with a wide range of people providing support using a range of therapeutic interventions. The post requires someone with experience of conducting assessments, creating and implementing support plans, while monitoring and supporting necessary changes quickly.

The Walled Garden is around a half acre of ground within Dollar Park, Falkirk.

Falkirk Justice Services renovated the walled garden after it fell into disrepair and Cyrenians assumed responsibility for the day to day management of the garden in August 2015.

The aim of the garden is to manage a programme of maintenance and development for those on community payback orders to participate in, and to bring back into use a beautiful space that is open to public.

The post holder will be responsible for the support and management of people on community payback orders and the engagement of volunteers to ensure that we meet these aims.

We are looking for a skilled and dynamic individual with a “can do” attitude and a genuine interest in gardens and working outdoors. Knowledge of the Justice system is desirable and excellent interpersonal skills will enable you to motivate and inspire participants to get the most out of the opportunities that the garden presents. You should also have the ability to demonstrate Cyrenians values of Compassion, Respect, Integrity and Innovation in the work that you do.
