5. Liaise with senior partners to resolve issues impacting MAPPA's effective operation
6. Work with Responsible Authorities to ensure the delivery of the MAPPA annual report
7. Support the assessment of training needs and coordinate relevant training delivery/access

Candidates must have working knowledge of the MAPPA process. Operational experience, preferably at management level, working with sex offenders and violent offenders within Social Work, Police, Scottish Prison Services, Health Service, or other relevant agencies, is essential.

Excellent analytical and administrative skills are required, along with experience in delivering training.
