Join our team: We're expanding our National Road Victim Service and need a dedicated Caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.

Not your average job: This isn't a 9 to 5. You could play a significant part in rolling out trauma-informed support services nationwide. Make a real difference in the lives of those affected by road traffic collisions. 

What we offer:

• A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day shutdown period between Christmas and New Year. Pro-rata for part-time working patterns)

• Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential) 
• Research and advocacy skills – you will reach out to other organisations to support your cases where required 
• Significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised 

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from candidates with experience supporting people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with those with heightened vulnerabilities. 

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury. 

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you.
