Who We Are?

Victim Support Scotland provides support and information to people affected by crime and campaigns for victim and witness rights. Regardless of whether a crime has been reported, or when it happened, our services are free, confidential, and tailored to individuals’ needs.

Our vision is that people affected by crime – victims, witnesses, and their families – are treated with dignity and respect and are at the heart of the justice in Scotland. Our mission is to ensure that all those affected by crime receive high quality support that will help them to recover from their experiences.

All our work is guided and underpinned by our six core principles of being engaging and compassionate; inclusive and accessible; person-centred; adaptive, flexible, and responsive; collaborative; and knowledgeable and skilled.

Now is the time to join Victim Support Scotland, helping us work towards the ambitions of our 5-year plan: Empowering people affected by crime: VSS Strategy 2021-2026.

Victim Support Scotland – Empowering People Affected by Crime. We put victims and witnesses at the heart of everything we do so they are heard, have improved health and well-being, feel safer, more secure, and informed and that we are an effective organisation, that makes a lasting difference.

What is the role

Reporting directly to the Head of Service Delivery, you will be responsible for a team of Co-ordinators who in turn manage groups of volunteers to deliver and evaluate the support to victims and witnesses, our service users, at local court and community-based services. You will be responsible for ensuring, within your services, that VSS’s organisational objectives are being implemented at a local level and have a role in business planning to ensure that all service users within your local area are aware of, and have access to, the support they need. You will be responsible for all aspects of people management for staff in your area, ensuring that employees and volunteers are supported, knowledgeable and capable to deliver the support that meets service user’s needs.

Working 28 hours per week. Location is our Inverness office, with travel across the locality and further afield being an expectation of this role.

If you are looking for a role with a purpose, where you can really make a difference, then this may be the role for you.

What is the role

This is a hybrid role combining home and office working with the expectation of three days per week office based, Glasgow or Edinburgh based.

The Communications and External Affairs team is recruiting a Policy and Research Officer with an understanding of the policy and legislation that impact victims, witnesses and families.

There are three main aspects to the role; drafting and devising policy responses, parliamentary engagement, as well as research and briefings.

As VSS’s ‘go-to’ on everything policy-related, we are looking for someone with experience in a similar role ideally within the third sector. Knowledge of the criminal justice system is advantageous, but not essential. It is important that you are able to articulate complex issues clearly and with a quick turnaround.

The post is relatively high-profile and front-facing, involving engagement with a wide range of senior stakeholders that are key to the success of VSS. It is therefore expected that the postholder will be confident and knowledgeable in their approach to handling relationships with partners.

We are looking for someone with a positive attitude who is willing to be flexible within their role. You will equally be as comfortable working autonomously as you are working alongside and collaborating with colleagues.

No two days at VSS are the same. You will get involved with multiple projects and creative campaigns all in support of our new five-year strategy Empowering people affected by crime: VSS Strategy 2021-2026. We are looking for someone who is not phased by competing demands, has excellent forward planning skills and an ability to work to tight deadlines.

This is clearly a busy and exciting role and it would be ideally suited to someone who is determined to help VSS deliver in its mission, and is also calm and measured and also able take constructive feedback onboard.

In return, you will work within a supportive and friendly organisation, and a forward-thinking team that is always looking for fresh ideas and input.

Our mission at Victim Support Scotland is to ensure that people affected by crime receive high quality support that will help them to recover from their experiences. We put victims and witnesses at the heart of everything we do so they have improved health and well-being, feel safer, more secure and informed. VSS aims to be an effective organisation that makes a lasting difference by adhering to our values of being supportive, striving for excellence and offering personalised and accessible services.

Victim Support Scotland is looking to recruit a new Policy & Research Officer into the organisation.

We are looking for a policy expert who is skilled at handling sensitive and complex information, as well as having the gravitas to successfully connect with senior stakeholders within the justice sector.

You will have experience working in a policy related environment/role and will be able to demonstrate how you can bring about sustained and purposeful change as a direct result of policy influencing.

We are ideally looking for someone who has expertise in, and is passionate about, understanding the detail of policy and legislation as it relates to victims, witnesses and families.

A key part of the role will be analysing complicated documents and policy developments and assessing how these relate to the wider work of Victim Support Scotland.

The successful candidate will handle relationships with multiple stakeholders – including senior civil servants, Ministers and third sectors leaders – and will represent Victim Support Scotland at a number of sector wide forums, meetings and events.

You will also be the driving force behind the development of the Victims Organisations Collaboration Forum Scotland (VOFCS), a group of third sector organisations that are collectively advocating for change within the justice system on behalf of victims and survivors.

As the organisation’s ‘go-to’ person on everything policy related, you will be expected to monitor and evaluate policy developments on a daily basis, updating our workforce of staff and volunteers as these relate to our mission and vision.

Working closely with the Head of Communications & External Affairs, as well as the wider management team within VSS, you will deliver on our proactive policy influencing plans and campaigns which put the rights and needs of victims, witnesses and families at the centre.

This is clearly an exciting and demanding role and would be suited to someone who is efficient at managing their own workload, including competing priorities and deadlines.

You would be joining a small but ambitious and forward-thinking team. We are therefore looking for someone who can act autonomously, as well as part of a wider department, showing flexibility and a positive attitude to projects and tasks.

Now is the time to join Victim Support Scotland as we work towards the ambitions of our 5-year plan: Empowering people affected by crime: VSS Strategy 2021-2026.

Your role
