Do you love working with people? Are you the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone and put them instantly at ease? Do you have the passion and commitment to help people turn their lives around? You don’t need direct experience in this field - just the right attitude, transferable skills, or lived experience that gives you insight into the challenges people face after a conviction.
At Apex Scotland, we work with individuals who have been involved in the justice system, supporting them to build brighter futures. From helping people find work or boosting their confidence and motivation, we’re here to provide guidance, encouragement, and practical solutions.
Are you interested in providing guidance to others? Are you technically minded and able to review and analyse information? Then you might be just who we’re looking for!

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Meeting individuals face to face to gather information, in the community or in prison
• Some individuals may prefer to gain support online or via telephone conversations
• Work alongside key partners also involved in the individual’s development such as social work or their Jobcentre Workcoach
• Support Subject Access Request (SAR) application for official criminal record to be gained
• Undertake administrative, technical analysis of the criminal record to assess whether convictions are spent or unspent
• Produce disclosure guidance
• Offer support and guidance on conviction relevance to employment sectors
• Signposting people to local and national support services
• Handling sensitive conversations with empathy and professionalism

At Apex Scotland we provide a Criminal Record Disclosure Guidance service which supports people with gaining this accurate information so they can be fully informed about their choices. This is a flexible, people-focused role that might suit you if you’re looking to:

• Work around other life commitments
• Break up your day with meaningful, short shifts
• Be part of a supportive team without needing to commit to full-time hour
