Multiple Compound Needs Lead

This role will involve working directly with LGBT victims/survivors of domestic abuse and housing needs who are also experiencing other compound needs such as mental health or substance use issues. This will include offering clients a space to talk and think through options, helping them plan what they want to do, and advocating with other services to ensure they have access to the support they need.

You will also be responsible for managing a relationship with key partners and funders from within the violence against women and girls sector. This will involve attending regular partnership meetings, providing updates on service delivery and collaborating on reports to funders. You will also be expected to attend networking events as a representative of their organisation.

You will also act as the single point of contact for other team members with questions about housing support and clients experiencing multiple compound needs. You will provide practice development and advice sessions within the team on this topic.

Your work will focus on needs specifically related to experiences of abuse or violence, including issues such as support with the criminal and civil justice process, advocating for safe accommodation, safety planning and access to other services. You will be empathetic and thoughtful in your approach to understanding your clients’ needs, while remaining boundaried and mindful of self-care. You will work as part of their wider advocacy and support team and alongside mainstream services to ensure the voices and experiences of LGBT survivors are represented at a local and national level.
