Key tasks
- Working with the team in Scotland to manage triage caseload, for cases coming into the National Road Victim Service.
- Undertaking an initial assessment of service users’ needs on entry into the National Road Victim Service
- With the support of the team manager and risk manager, prioritising and categorising cases which require immediate intervention, based on assessment of vulnerability and risk at an early stage.

- Knowledge, experience and understanding of working in a trauma informed way, providing trauma informed care to adults and families.

Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it.
So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.
