Outreach and Support Worker

We have an exciting opportunity for a new Outreach and Support Worker to join our team supporting individuals in Fife. In this role, you will be the first person our 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, 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, we 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 greenspaces
  • 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

Working at Venture Trust

We offer a range of generous benefits including:

  • A generous annual leave entitlement (28 days annual leave plus 8 public holidays and 3 Christmas holidays)
  • On site: Edinburgh (esp. Corstorphine and Trinity)

Earth in Common is looking for a dynamic and community-minded individual to lead the transformation of two disused bowling greens into thriving urban crofts in Victoria Park (Trinity) and St Margaret’s Park (Corstorphine).

You’ll work with local communities to create vibrant green spaces focused on sustainable food growing, education, and wellbeing.
