Outreach Suicide Bereavement Liaison Worker

3 months ago

Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom Listening Ear Full time

Purpose

Amparo is a nationwide Suicide Bereavement Postvention Service, providing practical and emotional support to people bereaved or affected by suicide. Thanks to additional funding granted between summer 2024 and the end of February 2025, we are hiring exciting new posts within our Amparo service in Southampton, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth ('SHIP').

Research has indicated that 10% of people affected by suicide bereavement attempt to take their own lives. People who are neurodivergent, from ethnic minority backgrounds, and/or part of the LGBTQ+ community face an even greater risk of suicidal thoughts, feelings and self-harm compared to the rest of the population.

We currently have three Outreach Suicide Bereavement Liaison Worker roles available to support people from marginalised and disadvantaged communities following bereavement by suicide. We are also currently recruiting for an Outreach Team Leader (please see our website for details).

The successful candidates will ensure the Amparo service in Southampton, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth reaches vulnerable and marginalised people who may have faced barriers and challenges in accessing support and healthcare elsewhere. The new team will create a safe space where diverse communities are welcomed, listened to, respected, represented and supported with culturally-appropriate services.

We are looking for candidates with the confidence to represent Amparo and Listening Ear with knowledge, positivity and professionalism. The successful candidates must have a passion for ensuring equality of access for marginalised people and will have prior experience in breaking down barriers, either in a professional or voluntary capacity. The Outreach Worker posts have been made possible through short-term funding available until the end of February 2025. For this reason, they are offered as fixed term contracts which may be extended if further funding is granted, however this cannot be guaranteed.

Hours

Listening Ear is hiring three Outreach Workers, specialising in reaching LGBTQ+ communities, ethnic minority groups and neurodivergent people. Each part-time position is being offered as two-three days per week, in line with available funding, however hours can be negotiated during the recruitment process. We recognise that each community is not a homogenous group and that candidates may have intersectional lived experience, skills and interests. For this reason we welcome applications for alternative hours, including any who may wish to express interest in multiple roles.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion at Listening Ear

Through effective governance and management we are committed to:

  • promoting equality, diversity and social inclusion amongst our clients, staff, and partners and all those we work with;
  • challenging and eradicating discrimination wherever we encounter it on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation;
  • treating everyone with dignity and respect at all times;
  • providing responsive and accessible services that meet individual needs;
  • reviewing and auditing our equality, diversity and inclusion activities;
  • ensuring we keep our approach up to date with changes in society, legislation and regulation.

    We take seriously our legal duty to provide all our services and employment opportunities fairly and without discrimination, and we keep to all relevant codes of practice.

    Interviews

    Interviews will be held virtually, on Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 31st July or Friday 2nd August. The panel will feature our Head of Amparo and a maximum of 2 other staff members, lasting no longer than 1 hour.

    Why Listening Ear?

    • Face-to-face training, induction and warm welcome provided at our headquarters in the North West to meet colleagues and welcome you to Listening Ear
