Are you looking for a rewarding role working for an intersectional feminist organisation? If so, we have an incredible opportunity for you to join our team as Housing First Project Worker X2 at Solace Women's Aid.
We exist to end the harm done through gender-based violence. Our aim is to work to prevent violence and abuse, as well as providing services to meet the individual needs of survivors, particularly women and children. Our work is holistic and empowering, working alongside survivors to achieve independent lives, free from abuse.
Our core values reflect our history and were developed in consultation with staff and service users. Feminism and intersectionality are key to our work and we are committed to the principles of being survivor-led, trauma-informed, empowering, diverse, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory.
About the Service
Housing First is a new approach to supporting the most entrenched, excluded and hard to reach service users. It focuses on finding permanent housing as quickly as possible and then addressing the issues that have contributed to an individual’s homelessness.
‘I want someone who I can do nice things with, too, not someone who just talks about what has gone wrong, or drugs and other things……I think about those negatives all the time anyway and I want a worker who I can feel positive with, happy’ (service user supported by another Housing First Project).
About the Role
Assist in the day-to-day delivery of the service, managing a small service user caseload with the overall goal of supporting these women to sustain a (new) tenancy
Provide trauma-informed, solution-focused support to service users, tailored to individual needs and aspirations, with service users being able to choose as far as possible, what, how and when support is delivered
Advocate where appropriate on behalf of service users with external agencies regarding their welfare rights, Primary Health Care needs and other issues affecting their health and well being
Promote social inclusion, encourage independence and develop personal resilience of women with multiple needs affected by violence
Maintain accurate case notes and up to date records
Attend and contribute to multi agency safeguarding meetings e.g. MARAC, as appropriate
About You
Some experience in providing emotional and/or practical support to women who have experienced VAWG, homelessness or multiple disadvantage
Knowledge of the particular needs of women from diverse communities and the barriers to accessing support faced by black and minoritized women
Experience of working in partnerships with other agencies e.g. signposting, making referrals, supporting with appointments
An understanding of the impact of trauma on women experiencing abuse
Awareness of the intersection between severe and multiple disadvantage and VAWG, and an understanding of how the intersection of these issues can make it difficult for people to engage with support
A good knowledge of safeguarding practice and procedures
Ability to provide strengths-based support.
A resilient and assertive approach to reaching out to and building trust and positive relationships with women who have complex/multiple needs and who may present as reluctant to engage and/or may be presenting in crisis
Excellent organisational, ICT, written and verbal communication skills
