Specialist Caseworker Violence and Exploitation (Girls and Young Women)

Location: London / Agile working

Contract: permanent, subject to funding

Hours: 32 hours per week (please note, as of 1st April 2024, Safer London is a 32 hour/4 day working week organisation)

Starting salary: £27,445 rising to £33,220

As Safer London enters a dynamic new stage of development looking at the next phase of its organizational strategy, we have an exciting opportunity for a motivated and experienced individual to join our dedicated team of practitioners. We are currently seeking a Specialist Caseworker Violence and Exploitation (Girls and Young Women), to work alongside young Londoners affected by violence and exploitation.

About you:

Do you have the expertise and knowledge to support young Londoners impacted by violence and exploitation? Do you have an understanding and curiosity about the diverse experiences and challenges young Londoners face? Are you committed to social justice, equity, and inclusion? Are you resilient? If yes, then you could be who we are looking for.

About us:

Safer London is a charity working with young Londoners and families who are affected by violence and exploitation. We believe that when a child or young person comes to us, they are just that - a child or a young person: we don't define them by the issue that has brought them to us. By working alongside young Londoners, their families, and peers in the places where they spend their time, we can create a safer London not just for them but for everyone.

About the role:

In this impactful role, you will cultivate strong trusting relationships with young Londoners, offering personalized support on a one-to-one basis. Your responsibilities will encompass a diverse range of direct support and advocacy, with a focus on safeguarding and the well-being of girls and young women affected by violence and exploitation.

What we offer:

Safer London continually reviews its pay and offers a competitive benefits package to all employees, including the following benefits:

  1. 4-day/32-hour work week from April 1st, 2024, with no impact on pay. This means that you will have a regular day off in the week with no impact on your pay
  2. Agile working: flexibility to work in different locations including from home, our office in Southwark and/or community locations (libraries/co-working spaces)
  3. Flexible Working: our Flexible Working Policy allows requests to work flexibly from the start of your employment
  4. New modern offices
  5. A contributory Pension Scheme
  6. Enhanced family leave
  7. Reduced caseloads compared to statutory services
  8. Interest-free Season Ticket Loans
  9. Cycle to Work Scheme
  10. Free access to a confidential 24/7 helpline service with a specialist range of support and information
  11. Death in Service Benefit
  12. Opportunities to develop and progress your career, including an extensive program of learning courses
  13. Initial Annual Leave allowance of 28 days' holiday, rising to 30 days after 3 years and 33 days after 5 years, plus bank holidays and other statutory holidays; part-time employees receive a pro-rata entitlement. From April 1st, the annual leave benefit will be pro rata in line with a 32-hour working week.
Additional Information:

Safer London is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect anyone who works and volunteers with us to share this commitment. As part of this commitment, we will request a DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service) check, as well as references covering the last five years, for the successful candidate.

We encourage people from all sections of our community to apply for jobs with us. We particularly welcome disabled and LGBTQIA+ applicants because these communities are currently under-represented in our workforce. We know that to make London a safer place for the young people that live here we need a diverse range of perspectives, experience, and knowledge.
