Are you looking for an innovative opportunity to assist in shaping support for victims of modern slavery in Derby & Derbyshire?  

Have you got skills and experience in delivering trauma informed and person-centred support? 

We are currently recruiting an Initial Support Lead to work across Derbyshire to raise the profile of slavery and trafficking, with a particular focus on adult exploitation. The role will work in developing the current and future service delivery under the supervision of our Support Delivery Manager. 

Rebuild East Midlands  

Rebuild East Midlands exists to support individuals who have experienced human trafficking and modern slavery to overcome the barriers that they might face in starting a new life, free from exploitation and slavery.

lead on the provision of direct support to potential victims of trafficking, ensuring they receive independent advocacy, helping them navigate services, benefits, and the advice they need.

The Initial Support Pathway will provide short-term support to adults who have experienced exploitation. The pathway initially focuses on the individual’s basic needs such as safety, food, clothing, accommodation, subsistence, and access to medical services. The project then considers each individual’s rights and entitlement to support as a potential victim of modern slavery. The key principle of the project is informed choice for the individual. Although the initial support is short and temporary, the long-term impacts for victims can be significant.
