Job Details

We are ambitious for Fife, both for our communities and our workforce of around 18,000 employees. More people need our support, and we are focussed on reducing inequalities and increasing opportunities within an environment of decreasing resources. Our vision is a confident, successful and fairer Fife and our employees are our greatest asset to deliver on our vision.

We have a newly established Public Protection Team in Fife which promotes an integrated approach across Adult Support and Protection, Child Protection, Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and Violence Against Women and Girls. This system supports a shift from siloed structures to an aligned Public Protection Partnership model and adopts a household harm lens, recognising complexity, trauma, and transitions; understanding that families and communities do not inhabit separate policy spaces.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within Fife Council’s Adult Support and Protection Team to support both the single agency and multi-agency Adult Support and Protection agenda.
