Job description
Do you want to make life better for LGBT victims and survivors of abuse?
Our client is seeking a Sexual Violence Caseworker to support LGBT Sexual Violence survivors across the UK.
Our client works directly with thousands of LGBT people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. They specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. They are a service run by LGBT people, for LGBT people, and the needs of their community are at the centre of what they do.
They run a national support helpline for LGBT victims and survivors of: domestic abuse; hate crime; rape and sexual abuse; and so-called “conversion therapy”. They provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT victims who need longer-term support. They are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping their clients decide what is best for them, and then supporting them through their journey.
They use what they learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy change, to improve outcomes for LGBT victims and survivors of abuse and violence. They build evidence through key pieces of research, like their upcoming report into LGBT experiences of sexual violence. They push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and better understanding of the needs of LGBT people around the country.
They are looking forward to someone to join their advocacy and support team, providing recovery support to LGBT survivors of sexual violence across the UK. You will work directly with LGBT victims/survivors of sexual violence, offering practical recovery based support and psychoeducation to support clients in their recovery journey from sexual violence related trauma. You will also facilitate groups for survivors with a focus on recovery from the impacts of abuse and violence.
Your work will focus on needs specifically related experiences of sexual violence, including issues such as wellbeing, safety and access to other services to enable survivors to cope and recover. You will be empathetic and thoughtful in your approach to understanding your clients’ needs, while remaining boundaried and mindful of self-care
You will have expertise in delivering needs-led specialist support services, adhering to best practice when working with victims/survivors of sexual violence and maintaining accurate records. You will ensure that data is collected on those they support to ensure that we continue to build an evidence base on the kinds of people we are supporting. You will need to be solutions-focussed and enjoy working collaboratively across a diverse and committed team. You’ll need to have good resilience and self-care, and be prepared to work in an environment where abuse and violence are regularly talked about. You’ll need to understand the impact of trauma and how that affects their team.
