Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) is Scotland’s national resource of expertise on drugs and related issues. We seek to lead and represent the drugs field in Scotland to improve Scotland’s response to problem drug use. This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of a busy, dynamic, and supportive team within a national third sector organisation.

This post will work to ensure that people with lived and living experience of drug and alcohol problems are sufficiently represented in drug and alcohol service delivery through co-ordination of all aspects of a work-based training programme for Trainees.

This involves liaising with a range of delivery partners such as placement providers, employability partners, education providers, and workplace literacy partners, while providing direct support and line management to a group of trainee participants. The role will also support the growth and development of this multi-award-winning traineeship programme.

With support from the Senior Development Officer, the role will also seek to establish multiple entry and employment pathways, in and out of AWTP, and maintain excellent employment outcomes for trainees.
