This is an exciting time to join Venture Trust as they continue to develop, embed, and grow their multi-disciplinary teams and apply their developmental approach in communities, green spaces, and across Scotland's wilder places. Venture Trust supports people facing challenging life circumstances to overcome barriers and realise their potential. Working alongside people who have been impacted by trauma, they build a programme together to help them move forward in their journey in communities, green spaces, and wild places across Scotland.
The role
Venture Trust have an exciting opportunity for a new Outreach and Support Worker to join their team supporting individuals in Fife. In this role, you will be the first person their participants meet, so knowledge of services within this area would be beneficial.
You'll be a caring, dynamic and driven person, dedicated to levelling the playing field and equipping people with the tools they need to thrive. You'll be comfortable and confident working autonomously, as well as working alongside people with complex lives.
Working across Fife and in the Scottish wilderness, you'll provide bespoke and holistic 1:1 support for participants, spending time to get to know them, their strengths, and where they want to go. You'll help to shape their journeys, navigating 1:1, community, and wilderness journey support, always harnessing the benefits of the outdoors and nature spaces to provide therapeutic benefit. You may accompany them on wilderness journeys and support them to develop employability skills.
Across Fife, Venture Trust need you to work closely with referrers and partners to provide joined up support for participants, managing the differing needs of your case load, including working with young people and adults.
As an Outreach and Support Worker, you will:
- Have knowledge of services in the area that you will deliver (i.e. Fife)
- Deliver group activities outdoors in community green spaces
- Provide one-to-one support for participants, identifying and removing barriers to participation and supporting towards their individual goals
- Maintain positive relationships with stakeholders, generating referrals for all programmes
- Promote Venture Trust within local communities
- Support the delivery of wilderness journey opportunities in Scotland's wilder places
- Work closely with referral partners and any other stakeholders to provide joined up support for participants
- Work within a team structure with hybrid working arrangements
