THE CLOSING DATE FOR THIS ROLE IS 24/02/2025 AT 10AM

About Us

Medaille Trust is one of the leading providers of support to survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking in the UK. We are working to provide refuge and freedom for survivors and fighting to see slavery in all its forms become a thing of the past. The need for this work has never been higher, there are more than 50 million estimated victims of modern slavery worldwide, and over 120,000 potential victims in the UK.

We operate ten safe houses and five outreach hubs, staffed round the clock by specialist staff, working with more than 600 men, women and dependent children each year. We work to raise awareness in the UK and to provide preventive work in source countries. Our Pursue work helps survivors to engage with police and within the legal system to seek justice and to secure convictions against their perpetrators.

This role is based in a safe house in the Halton area working with male service users.

About the job

We are seeking a confident and experienced Modern Slavery Case Worker Assistant with a wide range of skills and importantly, a ‘can do’ approach.

As the Modern Slavery Case Worker Assistant, you will work as a member of a close and supportive team providing a safe environment for vulnerable adults from outside the UK who have experienced trauma and exploitation. You will provide high quality practical and emotional support to the residents within a risk assessed safe house setting. The role will involve assisting clients with increasing practical skills and self-confidence to empower and enable independent and safe living.

This service is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Applicants must be willing to work flexibly, which will include on-call duties.
You must have experience of working with vulnerable adults, the ability to work within a ‘risk associated’ environment and, ideally, experience of working within a residential or community setting with non-UK citizens.

This is a project start-up and lead role with an anticipated three-month project development window. It requires excellent communication and negotiation skills, a commitment to establishing and maintaining quality standards, an ownership of your work, a belief in what you are doing, and an understanding of why it matters. If you thrive delivering important, life-enhancing people-focused projects with diverse work loads, and believe you have the skills and abilities to assist us with informing significant change across the Royal Borough of Greenwich for unpaid carers, we would, most definitely, like to hear from you.

Unpaid carers are the unsung heroes of our society. We are Greenwich Carers Centre - a well-established, highly regarded and much-loved charity dedicated to their support.

Becoming an unpaid carer is rarely a choice. Through accident, illness or injury, giving ourselves to the care and support of a loved one is something that one in every two of us will do at some point in our lives.

For many of us, caring becomes a 24-hour, year-on-year commitment - an expression of love that requires the gifting of our careers, our plans, and our lives.

For others, providing essential care whilst holding down a financially necessary job means balancing the needs of the workplace with needs of the care relationship. The competing pressures of work and caring are detrimental to wellbeing. Feelings of anxiety, stress and guilt are common to working carers and a risk to their emotional, physical and mental health. Life can become an endless struggle to hold everything together and not let anyone down. Working and caring can be downward spiral to not working at all. Many carers exit employment and continue to provide care in financial hardship and poverty.

…it doesn’t need to be this way – with your help, we are going to change it.
