Who we are 

We are Brake, the national, acclaimed road safety charity which provides the National Road Victim Service (NRVS). We have been supporting victims of the carnage on our roads since 1995. We also campaign for positive change to prevent future collisions and save lives. 

A rare and exciting opportunity to help us to help others 

Did you know that every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads? The impact of that on individuals and their wider families is profound and far reaching and it can happen to any of us, at any time. 

The National Road Victim Service is growing, allowing us to reach greater numbers of people in need and building upon our well-established foundation to create an enduring legacy. To support this growth we’re looking for a dedicated caseworker to become part of our enthusiastic, energised and dynamic team, delivering world-class support services to people at a time when they are most vulnerable. 

This is definitely not the average 9 to 5 job, and it is not every day that opportunities like this come along. You could be playing a significant part in our commitment to roll out our clinically developed, trauma informed support services across the country, making a positive contribution to the lives of those traumatically bereaved or seriously injured as a result of road traffic collisions. 

What we offer 

• 36 days holiday (including bank holidays, pro rata for part-time working patterns) 

• Employee Assistance Programme 

• Flexible working 

• Ongoing support including regular independent clinical supervision sessions 

• Be an essential part of a skilled, dedicated and friendly team with a knowledgeable and engaged Board of Trustees 

Who you are 

We need energised, self-starters who are passionate about helping others, to join our fantastic team. 

We are looking for people who have a background in providing emotional support and practical research and advocacy for vulnerable people after a serious psychological trauma such as the death of a loved one in violent circumstances. 

Specifically we are seeking candidates with: 

• experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks (desirable but not essential) 

• comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential) 

• research and advocacy skills – you get crucial things done through liaison with external agencies 

• significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised 

• a full UK driving licence, with access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses).

Candidates must be able to speak Welsh. You will be expected to support families who are first language Welsh.  

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. 

Experience gained in the following kinds of roles tends to transfer well to the role of caseworker at Brake: police force, roles within the criminal justice system, family liaison officer, counsellor, experience in health and social care or previous caseworker experience in any area. 

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. 

About the team and how we work 

• Brake actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We employ based on skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation 

• The successful candidate will be required to go through an enhanced DBS vetting process due to the sensitive nature of the service delivered. Additional police vetting may also be required (TBC) 

• Please note we do not accept applications from serious traffic offenders due to the nature of our work. Employees are subject to driver licence checks. 

To apply 

Submit your CV and a covering letter which clearly demonstrate you have what it takes to perform this challenging and rewarding role.

• Dalier sylw nad ydym yn derbyn ceisiadau gan droseddwyr traffig difrifol oherwydd natur ein gwaith. ⁠Mae gweithwyr yn destun gwiriadau trwyddedau gyrru.
