ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a dedicated team to deliver person centered and bespoke trauma informed support to vulnerable women in Luton.
As part of a new provision, this service will be open to women who experience sexual exploitation and are dependent on drugs/alcohol, and will offer stable and psychologically informed support in safe, secure surroundings they can call their home.
The service will work in collaboration with multiple services and partners, to embrace a flexible, strengths based approach, displaying tolerance, recognition and understanding the impact trauma can have on behaviour.
The service will engage with women who are sexually exploited and are facing homelessness due to multiple forms of exclusion, such as historical or ongoing abuse, involvement in the criminal justice system, mental health challenges, drug and/or alcohol dependency and who are engaging in survival sex or sex work, enduring high levels of violence and coercion. These are women who often find themselves repeatedly going through the accommodation pathway and have exhausted all other available options.
We are looking for Relief bank Support Mentors to work with a passionate and committed team focused on delivering essential support and safe accommodation to sexually exploited women in Luton who suffer extreme levels of violence, coercion and trauma.
You will support and empower our residents and participants to maintain their health and wellbeing, to be part of the wider community and help them to lead more fulfilling lives. You will be involved in organising and delivering stimulating and engaging groups and activities across our sites to address the challenges faced by our residents and participants, to support them on their journey towards independent living.
We will be holding a recruitment day for this service on the 14th of January 2024 in Luton. (This is a Women's Service and we will not be accepting applications from men).
ABOUT THE SERVICE
The service will consist of 11 self-contained flats, plus one sit-up space for women in crisis and private space for keywork sessions. The accommodation has been designed to offer women their own homes, behind a protected front door. This model is delivered locally in mixed units and has shown that people with a range of needs can thrive in this type of accommodation.
The service will embrace a flexible approach, displaying tolerance, recognition and understanding the impact trauma can have on behaviour. The service will remain conscious of the societal tendency to unconsciously exhibit bias against women, whereby behaviours considered acceptable from males are often deemed unacceptable for females due to ingrained gender stereotypes. Sexually exploited women will not be expected to change to fit into a service model, rather the service model is designed to support women with high levels of trauma and a complex array of support needs and behaviours.
The service will provide tailored support on an individual basis, adopting an intensive, strengths based, person-centered approach in collaboration with multiple services and partners as required. The service will work with each client on a co-produced, comprehensive support plan where the priorities are set by the client.
Support plans will include:
- Health and mental health needs
- Drug/alcohol and other dependencies
- Exploitation
- Exiting sex work
- Risk and resilience
- Self-care
- Offending
- Relationships
- Move-on/Resettlement
- Education/training/employment
If you have the passion, creativity, and tenacity to make a real difference in people's lives, challenge stigma and make our communities safer, we would love to hear from you!
ABOUT YOU
You will be creative and able to support and implement new ideas and initiatives, being a team player and able to communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds!

Finding strength through support
When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.
Everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
The charity provides specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
Join the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families, providing tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.
The team are here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.
It’s only thanks to the generosity of our supporters and donors that this vital support can be provided.
The Association is driven by ambition to improve the lives of everyone affected by stroke. This means they are determined to create an equitable and inclusive workplace that benefits from the difference, and thrives on the diversity, of its people. Guided by an approach to solving inequity in stroke, the organisation is prioritising listening to, and learning from, lived experience across the charity.
The organisation is working to improve the representation of this lived experience at all levels within the Association and are eager to recruit applicants from a variety of communities and backgrounds. Particularly from people affected by stroke, people of colour, members of LGBT+ communities, and disabled people because these identities and experiences are underrepresented and would add enormous value to how the charity works.
A Disability Confident employer, the organisation is making great progress focusing on flexible working, reasonable adjustments and access to work. The charity has a variety of staff network groups and is committed to continuously improving its diversity and inclusion efforts. If you have questions, or access needs, we’re happy to discuss any support and adjustments we can make throughout the recruitment process so that you’re able to contribute your best in a way that meets your needs.

Location: Crisis Skylight London, 50 – 52 Commercial Street, E1 6LT. This is a mainly onsite role, so you can meet face-to-face with our members and team, but some homeworking is an option in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy.
About the role
We are committed to ending the homelessness of more people using our direct services, including people with complex needs. To do this, we are seeking either full-time or part-time Practitioner Psychologists to join our fantastic team in locations around the UK.
In this role, you will be supporting our diverse operation in the heart of London.
You will form part of the local Leadership team, supporting the implementation of Psychologically Informed Environments (PIEs). You will support the delivery of our work to members by offering training and leading reflective practice for staff and providing direct services to members at times.
You will also be a part of a national psychology team made up of a Lead Clinical Psychologist, two Regional Lead Clinical Psychologists, and seven Practitioner Psychologists as well as one Assistant Psychologist and Trainee Clinical Psychologists on placements.
At Crisis, we understand more and more Practitioner Psychologists are taking on multiple part-time opportunities within the NHS, private practice and the third sector as this has been the case with our own team. Crisis and our members have benefited from employing people with a variety of different work experience and we are therefore open to considering a range of part-time working arrangements. This an opportunity for you to work within an agile and progressive charity where you can influence psychologically informed ways of working to end homelessness for good.
You will join an extraordinary team of frontline lead workers with a focus on people facing homelessness who have survived a range of difficult and traumatic experiences.
About you
We are looking for people who are community focused and driven by our shared values. This role brings a real opportunity to be creative and flexible in our approach to working psychologically with people who face multiple disadvantages, and to support the staff teams via training and reflective practice.
There are opportunities to provide direct support as well as working extensively with local teams and other parts of the organisation to influence policy and practice developments. We are looking for someone with post qualification experience of working within complex systems and you may have direct experience of working with people who experience homelessness.
You will be excited by the prospect of working innovatively to deliver services locally alongside the Skylight team, as well linking in closely with the wider Psychology team to develop the service. You will be committed towards social justice, and to being an advocate for those we work with and for breaking down the systemic barriers that exclude those who need most support.
We welcome informal conversations to learn more about the role with a member of our Practitioner Psychology Team, please email us and we will arrange a call. If you would like to visit the Skylight prior to applying that can also be arranged.
We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
