Resilience Learning Partnership (RLP) is a Training & Education Provider with a dual purpose. We work across the health, social care, education, housing & criminal justice sectors. We specialise in Trauma Informed Practice and lived experience. We inform policy and strategy through our work, ensuring that lived experience is at the heart of all public policy making decision areas.  

We are a lived experience led organisation and currently 82% of our workforce have lived experience of psychological trauma. We work to the foundational principles of CHOICE, COLLABORATION, EMPOWERMENT, TRUST & SAFETY following the guidelines from the National Trauma Transformation Programme.    

RLP is still a new and developing organisation. We started our journey with one staff member and a small Board of Directors just over 6 years ago. And, we now have 11 staff members and an ever-growing Board which we continue to add to.  Our success has been primarily down to growing organically, being lived experience led and having a strong entrepreneurial approach to much of what we do. 

We are looking for an experienced Project Officer who would be responsible for the delivery of RLP activities assigned to them by their line manager. The post holder will aim to deliver high quality and trauma informed services that support individuals, communities, or partners that in turn, deliver on our strategic priorities and commitments as described in our strategic plan. 

Due to the nature of funding cycles and grants in the third sector, Project Officers are expected to be able to work flexibly across a range of short, medium and longer term activities. Concentrated areas of focus for individual project officers will be detailed within their annual workplan. This will detail where they are expected to lead or support RLP activities and will be in-keeping with this job description. 

This role is office based and the successful candidate will be required to attend various in-person meetings across Forth Valley.
