RISE is a partnership between Barnardo's Scotland and Police Scotland to develop and deliver a Scottish Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Advisor network that will draw on the skills, knowledge and intelligence of key agencies and provide a coordinated response to CSE.

Our CSE Advisor network is undergoing expansion and will be co-located within 4 of Police Scotland's 14 Divisions.

We are looking to recruit two further CSE Advisors with one post based in Fife and the other post based in Glasgow/West of Scotland. The posts will be based co-located within a police station and both advisors will need to have the ability to work remotely from their direct line manager as well as assist in coordinating activity and learning across the posts.

The role which is essentially an enabling / capacity building role may also involve initial consultation with young people and their families/carers, with a view to referral to services, where appropriate. In this way we aim to achieve a proactive response that adequately supports victims of CSE and assists in disrupting perpetrators and perpetrator networks.

We are looking to recruit two CSE advisors,

NB Please advise on your application form if you would like to be considered for the Fife post, the Glasgow/West of Scotland post or both posts.

This post will be subject to a PVG check through Disclosure Scotland and additional police check.
