Outreach Worker

This is an exciting time to join Venture Trust as we continue to develop, embed and grow our teams, and apply our developmental approach in communities, in green spaces and across Scotland’s wilder places.

Venture Trust supports people facing challenging life circumstances to overcome barriers and realise their potential. We work alongside people who have been impacted by trauma, and together we build the programme they need to move forwards in their journey, utilising in communities, green spaces and wild places across Scotland.

We have an exciting opportunity for a new Outreach Worker to join our team working across North, East and South Ayrshire. 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 alongside people with complex lives.

Working across your area, 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 will prepare participants for wilderness journeys and support them to identify and work towards positive progression opportunities.

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.

Our Outreach Workers play an essential role at Venture Trust. Your skill at fostering positive, trusting relationships with people could be life changing.
